Deposited 't' thickness

Deposited 't' thickness

Deposited 't' thickness

(OP)
I have a test coupon 1.25" in thickness.  I have deposited .5" of SMAW, .25" GMAW, and .5" of SMAW respectively (GMAW is between SMAW depositions).  Is my deposited weld metal thickness (t) for SMAW per QW-451, .5" or 1"?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Deposited 't' thickness

The qualified deposited thickness should be 1", considering that is what was actually deposited into the weld area.

RE: Deposited 't' thickness

My question is why would you run your test plate that way?

RE: Deposited 't' thickness

(OP)
There was a misunderstanding between the production supervisor and me.  I originally asked for a single V and since 90% of our production joints are double V, that's what they did.

RE: Deposited 't' thickness

You have 1" of deposited weld metal with the SMAW process. We have often qualified our proceures this way on heavy wall items.

Gents (&ladies?),

Thanks for the replies.  I was the only one making an issue of this, as everyone I've talked to says the same as you all have said.
