WPS qualification
(OP)
If you run a wps on a514 1" thick plate in a 3G position without cvn in accordance with AWS D1.1 . Does that mean the wps is qualified in vertical position only 3G and 3F. But the welder is qualified in flat, vertical and horizontal. And the thickness is from 1/8"-unlimited. Can anyone please clear this up for me.
Thanks
Thanks





RE: WPS qualification
Your welder is qualified in several positions, but your wps is for vertical only. The welder may use other wps which is qualified/or prequalified for other position.

What process do you use ?
CVN is applicable only for ESW & EGW (See Table 4.2 of D1.1). However, this test has nothing to do with position qualified.
RE: WPS qualification
It was ran using FCAW

Table 4.10 is for welder / welding operator.
