Gerald,
Can someone then use a .25" thick GTAW ASME PQR on plate, to write a WPS for 2" schedule 80 pipe. Stainless for both, PQR and WPS, SA-240 Type 304. No other essential variable changes.
I am just wondering due to QW-463.1(d) and QW-463.1(e); procedure qualification.
I guess my point is this. If plate can qualify the procedure for pipe, then why are the above mentioned in the ASME Section IX?
