ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

(OP)
Hı,

I have a query wıth regards to testıng welders to ASME IX,

Can you ınform me of the followıng;
If I qualıfy a welder on pıpe ın the 5G posıtıon wıll thıs also qualıfy the welder to weld ın the 6G posıtıon. Can you please explaın your answer.

RE: ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

No.

With the belief that you are referring to pipe groove welds, 5G pipe groove qualification allows for flat, vertical and overhead in both pipe and plate. See ASME Section IX Table 461.9 for details.

Other conditions in QW-452 will apply.

Ok, Thanks for your reply.
Forgettıng the plate posıtıons.
Are you statıng the only pıpe posıtıon the welder wıll be qualıfıed for ıs the 5G posıtıon.

RE: ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

With respect to position only, 5G test on pipe qualifies for flat, vertical and overhead.

RE: ASME IX WELDER QUALIFICATION PIPE POSITIONS.

Qualification in the 2G and 5G positions or 6Gposition qualifies all positions.
