WPS/PQR question

WPS/PQR question

WPS/PQR question

(OP)
For the attached weld coupon, what is the base material thickness I should put in the PQR? what is the range of the qualified base material thickness(QW-451.1)I should put in the WPS?

Thank you so much for your help.

Review QW-202.4

RE: WPS/PQR question

(OP)
Already reviewed QW-202.4, still confusion.
If I use 0.1" as base material thickness, the qualified range is 0.0625-0.2", this range does not include 0.68"

If I use 0.68" as base mateiral thickness, the qualified thickness is 0.1875" to 1.36", this range does not include 0.1"

How should I identify this

Thanks.  

RE: WPS/PQR question

I think I found an interpretation that specifically addresses your question:

Interpretation: IX-81-38
Subject: Section IX, QW-202.4
Date Issued: September 14, 1981
File Number: BC-81-434

Question: A test coupon is prepared as follows: A 1 in. thick plate has an 1/8 in. step machined from its top. A plate 1/8 in. thick is placed into the section of the 1 in. thick plate that has been machined and is then butted to the unmachined portion. This forms a dissimilar thickness joint, which is welded using the GTAW process. The coupon then satisfactorily passes the qualification testing. Would the joint described above qualify for a base metal thickness range of 1/16 in. to 2 in. and deposited weld metal thickness range of 1/16 in. to 1/4 in.?

Reply: Yes.

Thank you so much for the information. It really helps.

RE: WPS/PQR question

this is not too complicated of a case.  The Base metal thickness welded is 0.10" welded to 0.68"  (i.e. T), and 0.10" (t) weld thickness assuming the complete groove was filled up.  If the P numbers of the base metal are different, the thicknesses are qualified individually.  If the P numbers are the same, the thickness range qualified can be combined.
