Welder Qualification (Position) for Tank Shell Nozzles
Welder Qualification (Position) for Tank Shell Nozzles
(OP)
Good Day to all!,
I would like to request for clarification regarding the welder qualification (position) for API 650 Tank Nozzles
If a welder tested using a plate coupon in 2G & 3G position then he is qualified to weld both groove & fillet in F,H,V position as per QW-461.9. Can he weld shell nozzles with his current qualification?
Thanks

Thank you for your reply,our subcontractor wasn't able to qualify their welders for the overhead position so I have a doubt. Now I would recommend them for the 6G position.
