Jun 5, 2013 #2 Mr168 Materials Aug 5, 2008 731 When following a WPS, you cannot deviate outside of the specified parameters, so the answer to your question is no. However, that is not to rule out the possibility that the WPS can be revised based on the supporting PQR and applicable Codes. Upvote 0 Downvote

Jun 6, 2013 #5 Mr168 Materials Aug 5, 2008 731 Again, whether you're qualified to weld that thickness depends on the applicable Code/Standard/Spec, but if your WPS does not address a base metal thickness of 30mm, then no, you cannot weld a fillet on 30mm material. Upvote 0 Downvote
