RE: welder thichness limits...
Why are you asking this type of question? Did your welders only qualify for fillet welds? Normally, welders are qualified using groove welds with test positions in QW-461.9 because groove welds qualify for fillet welds of all thicknesses and dimensions in accordance with QW-303.1.

A lot of fabricators standardize on test plates that are .5" thick so that their welder's qualified thickness is only limited by the WPS. In our case we use a 6" sch 120.
