ASME IX- SWPS

ASME IX- SWPS

ASME IX- SWPS

(OP)
What is the code concept?
it require PQR or not? (like AWS Prequalified)

thank for any help..

RE: ASME IX- SWPS

Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) is provided by AWS for nominal cost, and is a pre-qualified welding procedure specification. It does not require a WPQR.

RE: ASME IX- SWPS

(OP)
We confuse that why ASME required demonstration, if demonstration it will like you do the PQR.

RE: ASME IX- SWPS

Because if you are going for ASME stamp certification, you need to demonstrate all aspects of your written Quality program and that includes welding.

RE: ASME IX- SWPS

See Article V of ASME IX.  The concept is similar to prequalified AWS procedures.  However, there is still some mechanical testing or alternative RT required by ASME.

See Mandatory Appendix E for the approved list of materials/welding processes.
