Re: [MW:35915] Clarification on usage of WPS for Particular Joint Type

Inorder to cover dissimilar thickness welding, WPS has to cover the lower limit and upper limit, there is not upper limit if the WPS has been qualified for 38mm and Above. I have explained this on the basis of P No. 1, 3, 4, 5A, 5B,5C, 15E.

For P-No. 8, P-No. 41, P-No. 42, P-No. 43, P-No. 44,P-No. 45,P-No. 46, P-No. 51,P-No. 52, P-No. 53,P-No. 54, P-No. 61, P-No. 62, and P-No. 81  there is no limitations on maximum thickness, provided the PQR has been qualified on a 6mm thickness.

Dear DV Reddy,
T = base metal thickness
t = weld metal thickness

Did you WPS covers both thicknesses ?

Thank you & Stay Safe!

Dear friend,

Nozzle thickness 20.4mm, so your WPS thicknes must be cover 20.4mm. 20mm thick WPS not suitable to use, because 0.4 mm less thick .

Heat treatment is essential variable for WPS. If you use with heat treatment WPS, you have to do heart treatment to job also.

Hi Friends,

Refer the attached image,

In this, The cover flange thickness is 69.8 mm & The Nozzle thickness is 20.4 mm. 

the Nozzle is Set on on the Cover Flange with Full penetration Weld the groove is given on the Nozzle pipe.

The Final Fillet weld Size is 15 mm.

So may i use the WPS which Covers the thickness range from 1.5 to 20 mm?

If not, Kindly explain why?

Also Tell me the WPS Qualified with Heat treatment can be weld for the Job without Heat Treatment?

Looking for your valuable Replies. Kindly Support.

regards,
A.Shivasankar
