RE: welder qualification

Do you have a copy of AWS D1.1? If so, read it, welder performance testing is addressed.

RE: welder qualification

Review AWS D1.1:2010 Table 4.12 Welder Qualification Variables and Table 4.13 Electrode Classification Groups.

Please use proper spelling and grammar here, not text speak. This is a forum for professionals.

RE: welder qualification

Tman1,
According to AWS D1.1, table 4.12, variable 2, a re-qualification of welder is required when the SMAW electrode has F-number higher than the WPQR (welder performance qualification record) electrode F-number. So, in this regard your welder could use SMAW electrode with F-number 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. Please have a look at this link that manipulates a relevant issue:
