ASME IX - Procedure

⅝″
SMAW
PQR

Filler - E8048
Material - SA302 GR.C
Preheat - 350°F
Test position - 1G
Interpass temperature - 450°F
PWHT - Below lower transition temperature.
Question.1
Give the extent of qualification for:
1.) Thickness(s) 7) As-weld analysis: A-no.2
2.) P-no’s 8.) Position(s)
3.) F-no’s 9.) Type & number of tests.
4.) Preheat temperature
5.) Interpass temperature
6.) PWHT
1.) Thickness(s):
a) “T” (BM) > QW-253 > QW-403.8 > QW-451.1
= 3/16″ - 2T
= 3/16″ - 1¼″

b) “t” (DWM) > QW-253 > QW-404.30 > QW-451.1


= 2t
= 1¼″ max.

2.) P-no’s:
SA302 GR.C > QW-422 = P3 G.3
QW-253 > QW-403.11 > QW-424
= P- or S-no.3 to P- or S-no.3
P- or S-no.3 to P- or S-no.1

3.) F-no’s:
E8048 > QW-432 = F-no.4
QW-253 > QW-404.4 > QW-432 = F-no.4 ONLY.
4.) Preheat:
QW-253 > QW-406.1 = 250°F min.

5.) Interpass temperature:


QW-253 = Non-essential

6.) PWHT:
QW-253 > QW-407.1 = PWHT below lower transition temperature.

7.) A-no.
QW-253 > QW-404.5 = A-no.1 & A-no.2

8.) Position:
QW-253 = ALL (QW-203)

9.) Type & no. of tests:


QW-202.1 > QW-451 > QW463
= 2 x Tensiles; 2 x Face & 2 x Root bends [ OR: 4 x Side bends to substitute for the
required Face & Root bends.]

SMAW = ½″
⅝″

GTAW = ⅛″

Question.2

From the above information, give the extent of qualification for the welder on BM and DWM
thicknesses.
Base Metal (BM) thicknesses for a welder are Non-essential variables !!!!!

For DWM:
1) GTAW > QW-356 > QW-404.30 > QW-452.1
= 2t max.
= ¼″ max.

2) SMAW > QW-353 > QW-404.30 > QW-452.1


= Max. to be welded.
Now, based on the answer from Question.2, can the welder weld the following joints in Production:

1)
¼″ GTAW Yes, he can.

No, he can’t. Deletion of


2) 1″ backing is not permitted !!!
SMAW
See QW-402.4

SMAW = ¾″
3)
1″ Yes, he can.
GTAW = ¼″
ASME IX - Performance - [WPQR]

SMAW

Material: API 5L Gr.B

Question.3

Give the range of qualification for P-No’s. from the above information.

QW-353 > QW-403.18 > QW-422 > QW-423 > [also see QW-420.2]
Material : API 5L Gr.B = S-no.1 Gr.1 from QW-422
Therefore, P- or S-no. qualified for: P- or S-no.1 thru P- or S-no.11;
P- or S-no.34;
P- or S-no.41 thru P- or S-no.49

Question.4
List the type and number of test specimens required from the following information:

QW-302.1 > QW-452.1(a)


/16″
5
1 x Face
1 x Root

QW-302.1 > QW-452.1(a)


1 x Face
⅜″ 1 x Root
OR
2 x Side bends

¾″ QW-302.1 > QW-452.1(a)


2 x Side bends

Test position - 4G
Filler metal - E7018 x 4mm thick.
Material - SA557 A2

Question.5

What will be the welder’s extent of qualification for:


1) P-no’s
2) F-no’s
3) Thickness (Groove welds)
4) Positions
5) Pipe diameters (Groove welds)
1) P-no’s:
QW-353 > QW-403.18 > QW-422 > QW-423
Material: SA557 A2 from QW-422 = P1 G1
P-no’s qualified = P- or S-no.1 thru P- or S-no.11, P- or S-no.34 and P- or S-no.41 thru P- or S-
no.49.

2) F-no’s:
QW-353 > QW-404.15 > QW-432 > QW-433
E7018 = F-no.4 from QW-432
F-no’s qualified for = F-no.1 – F-no.4 with backing
and F-no.4 without backing.
3) Thickness (Groove welds):
a) Base Metal (BM) thicknesses for a welder are Non-essential variables !!!!!
b) DWM > QW-353 > QW-404.30 > QW-452.1
= Maximum to be welded.

4) Positions:
QW-353 > QW-405.1 > QW-461.9
= Plate & Pipe > F,O
Pipe > F (note.2) > 2⅞″ OD and over.

5) Pipe diameters (Groove welds):


QW-353 > QW-403.16 > QW-303.1 > QW-461.9
= 2⅞″ OD and over.
