real-time data (or variables) that process qualification records (along with laboratory reports of destructive testing during welding of test coupons) PQR). This entire process of qualifying the proposed WPS is known as process qualification and complete data i.e. After the satisfactory report of the destructive test, we state that the proposed welding process specification (PWPS) is qualified. QG 102: Procedure Qualification Record: A test coupon is welded based on the variables given in the proposed welding process specification (PWPS), then that test coupon is sent to the laboratory for destructive tests.

Although WPS is not required for changes to non-variable variables, it must be properly addressed in the welding process specification (WPS). Nonessential Variables (QG-105.4 & QW-251.3): Nonessential variables are those in which the current WPS can be altered without the need for it as it is not considered to affect the mechanical properties of the joint. When process eligibility does not require the addition of a hardness test, the complementary necessary variables are not applied. Therefore complementary essential variables become additional essential variables in situations where toughness tests are required for process qualification. Supplementary Required Variables (QG-105.3 and QW-401.1): Changes in the Supplemental Required Variables will affect the joint, heat-affected area, or hardness properties of the base material.

If the required variable is changed, the WPS will be required. Thickness range of welder qualification test (WQT)Įssential Variables (for WPS - QG-105.1 and QW-251.2): A change in the required variable is assumed to affect the mechanical properties (other than stiffness) of the welded joint. These parameters are stated as variables by ASME. a welding process specification (for welding) contains the parameters required to produce a sound weld in a value or range (as applicable) related to the welding process. The material or content of a process specification: The process specification i.e. * Fusing Process Specification - FPS (for fusing) * Brazing Process Specification - BPS (for brazing) * Welding Process Specification - WPS (for welding) Welding procedure specification (WPS) thickness range Part QG (General Requirements with a focus on the welding) and Part QW (Requirements for the Welding). Since our focus is on welding we will discuss only two parts, i.e. Note: Part General Requirements and Part QF Plastic Fusing were added to the 2019 version of ASME Section IX. * Part QF: Requirements for Plastic Fusing are included * Part QB: Includes requirements for brazing

* Part QW: Includes requirements for welding * Part QG: Common requirements for all materials include - involvement in the process (ie welding, brazing, and plastic fusing) What is 3LPE coating? ASME BPVC Section IX is divided into four parts, namely Note: The procedures involved in the various materials included in Section IX are Section IX is a reference document for the qualification of material manufacturing (welding, brazing, and plastic fusing) processes, which are used by various construction codes such as Sections I, III, IV, VIII, XII, etc.
