Weld procedure qualification test positions.

Weld procedure qualification test positions.

Weld procedure qualification test positions.

(OP)
Wıth regards to ASME 1X QW-405 Posıtıons.

Can you clarıfy QW-405.2

If I qualıfy a Weld Procedure Qualıfıcatıon Test (ımpact testıng applıes) ın any one of the followıng
posıtıons; 3G or 5G or 6G I can develope a weld procedure specıfıcatıon for weldıng a pıpe
ın all posıtıons.

RE: Weld procedure qualification test positions.

If you use 3G, 5G or 6G with uphill progression in your qualification, it qualifies all positions.

RE: Weld procedure qualification test positions.

I agree with AR, vertical up invloves more heat input that is the worst case as far as impact energy/lateral expansion is concerned, so that is why vert-up qualifies for all positions. Please see also Figure QW-463.1(f) that shows from where to take notch-toughness test specimens if test coupon is pipe. Concept is the same, Code requires to take it from vert-up location i-e shaded area of Figure QW-463.1(f).
Please see also UG-84(i)(3)(a)(2), again concept is the same.

I checked Fıgure-QW-463-1(F) thıs only refers to pıpe.
