Quantity of Required Impacts per B31.3
(OP)
How many impact tests are required per B31.3. the PQR is multi-process - TIG,FCAW and SAW. Do I need to do impacts for each process or do I just need to do Weld Metal and HAZ.
Thanks
Thanks

If you are42, review B31.3 Table 322.2.2. and Table 323.3.1. You will find answers to your questions.
RE: Quantity of Required Impacts per B31.3
I have read and re-read table 323.3.1. Note (3) from this Table states that three specimens from the weld metal and three from the HAZ are all that is required. I do not see any mention of taking Impacts from each welding process.
I am interpreting this as only two sets of Impacts are required. Am I reading this correctly?
Thanks

I would qualify the WPS in accordance with ASME Section IX requirements and read Note 2 in Table 322.2.2.

Do you mean Table 323.2.2. I cannot find Table 322.2.2
Thanks
