Re: [MW:36127] APPROVED WPS IN 2G POSITION BUT PRODUCTION WANT TO DO 5G/6G POSITION USING ASME 2G WPS

Hi,

you need to verify whether the supporting PQR for that WPS qualifies all required positions, the welding position used for PQR can be an essential variable for some welding processes. If the PQR was qualified only in 2G, it does not qualify the WPS for all welding positions. You must check the applicable essential variables for the specific welding process in ASME sec IX .

Dear experts,

My contractors wants to use approved 2G position WPS for production joints which in 5G/6g position other than 2G position and WQT for 6G position. References to ASME. Can we proceed to do that or do we need to use approved WPS in 6G/ALL positions?

Sya
