    Accepting Other Comnpany's WPS's

    Guys Under AWS D1.1, what are the issues with accepting WPS's that were done by your contractor for another company? This is assuming that all essential variables are the same. Would you recommend it? And if so, why? Or why not? Greg Lamberson, BS, MBA Consultant - Upstream Energy...
