change from vertical to horizontal or vice versa). A welder who qualifies in the fixed position shall also be qualified
to perform rolled welds within the essential variables qualified. A welder who qualifies on a butt weld shall also be
qualified to make lap fillet welds within the essential variables qualified. A welder who successfully passes a butt
weld qualification test in the fixed position with the axis inclined 45° from horizontal shall be qualified to do butt
welds and lap fillet welds in all positions.

For this reason, amongst others, this is why welders should be multi-qualified. Yes, I know that most times that welders may be making welds in one position, e.g., horizontal for cross country pipelines. However, multi-qualifcation removes most of the problem that occur when welders make welds outside the single qualification restriction.
