Contractor responsibility for WPS/PQR ?

Contractor responsibility for WPS/PQR ?

Contractor responsibility for WPS/PQR ?

(OP)
ASME Sec.9 states that the organization that has operational control over welding (manufacturer/contractor), is responsible for qualifying the WPS to be used in production welding. Is it permissible allow a contractor to use a clients' WPS/PQR to perform field welding for that client on an ASME code project?

RE: Contractor responsibility for WPS/PQR ?

If the work is under the Boiler and Pressure Vessel, the Contractor must qualify its procedure. It may use your qualified WPS as a guide for ots WPS and PQR. If the work is done to pipeing codes which modify ASME IX WPS requirments, it's a different story.

RE: Contractor responsibility for WPS/PQR ?

As far as I understand, it is definitely possible with the right permissions. You would have to apply (through an independent inspection authority) to change minor details but I dont think there would be any major issues. I just dont think it is a straight hand over.

Hope this helps.
