WPS for Skewed T Joints
WPS for Skewed T Joints
(OP)
Hi all,
I've been asked to put together a few WPS to cover the range of skewed T joints that we need to qualify, but I have very limited experience with the welding code. Since we need to qualify by test, I'd like to have the fewest number of WPS that can cover the various types of welds that we are using.
The plate thickness of steel that we use ranges from 3 gauge to 12 gauge, and sometimes two different gauges may be used together (i.e. 3 with 7). The T joint angles can range from 150 to 30, and the fillet is always just on one side. My question is, how many WPS will I need to cover these various parameters with angles and material thicknesses? Also, what if we use different types of steel?
In addition, is there an easy way to determine the effective throat that will be required for each setup? How do I determine the fillet size for each condition?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
M
