As per ASME IX-2007,

If I weld two PQR's

PQR A is welded with SMAW to join 20mm thick plates with 20mm of thickness deposits.
PQR B is welded with GTAW and SMAW to join 20mm thick plates with 5mm of GTAW deposits and 15mm of SMAW deposits.

Question 1 o PQR's A and B qualify the SMAW WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 5 mm to 200 mm when impact testing is not required?

Question 2 o PQR B qualify the GTAW WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 1.5 mm to 10 mm when impact testing is not required?

Question 3 o PQR B qualify the combination(GTAW+SMAW) WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 5mm to 40mm when impact testing is not required?

If the above was right,i can qualify 3 WPS for the 2 PQR A & B.please advice.

Do PQR's A and B qualify the SMAW WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 5 mm to 200 mm when impact testing is not required?

No; qualification range will be 5- 40mm for base metal

Do PQR B qualify the GTAW WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 1.5 mm to 10 mm when impact testing is not required?

No; qualification range will be 5- 40mm for base metal and 10mm max for GTAW weld metal

Do PQR B qualify the combination(GTAW+SMAW) WPS for the basic metal thickness range of 5mm to 40mm when impact testing is not required?

Yes; qualification range will be max 10mm for GTAW and 30mm for SMAW
