WPS Thickness Limits
(OP)
Is the thickness limits referred to in ASME IX regulated by the base metal thickness or by the weld metal thickness?

I believe the reinforcement thickness is not considered. For a groove weld, the weld thickness for a full penetration weld is the thickness of the base metal itself.
I hope Some one can clarify further on this point.

As Andy says there are many factors that affect qualified thickness, in fact too many to cover here, but, I suggest you review QW 451 including all the paragraphs referenced in the notes.
