Please I need your professional advice.

1) I reviewed a material certificate and I observed the carbon content and the CE is higher than Specified. (material grade: S355J2, material thickness 130mm round bar )

- specified: C = 0.16 & CE = 0.43
- on material certificate: C = 0.18 & CE = 0.44

Will it have much effect on the weld? Please advise.

2) A PQR was qualified using SMAW (3G position) for the root and hot pass while SAW (1G position) for filling and capping. Range qualify on WPS; SAW=1G and SMAW=all positions. Please note, impact and harness test was performed. During review, I stated that SMAW on WPS was only qualified for 3G position and not all positions, please advise.

3) can a WPS qualified to AWS D1. 1 be reviewed to ISO 15614-1 (the adopted code for the project is ISO 15614-1 but the PQR was formally qualified to AWS D1. 1) please advise.

Many thanks.

1) There will be no practical difference between CE 0.43 and CE 0.44.

2) I'll pass

3) If you have all testing done that is required by EN ISO 15614-1; and you have applied the correct acceptance criteria (there is a difference between AWS and EN/ISO standards), I see no reason to not write a qualification according to EN ISO 15614-1. Then, you can review the WPS. However, both above conditions need to be fulfilled in order to do this. Dual-process WPQR's have some peculiarities under EN ISO, especially regarding to the testing (location of specimen, ...). I don't have enough experience with AWS standards to be able to easily compare the two.


EDIT: typo, see "not" in bold above. Meaning: if both conditions (regarding testing) are fulfilled, write a WPQR according to EN ISO 15614-1 and check the WPS against this document.
