Can I get some clarification of D1.5 2002. I want to run a PQR for FCAW E71T-1 In the flat position. I came across 5.8.1 that states all welds that will be encountered in actual construction shall be classified as (1) flat, (2) horizontal, (3) vertical, or (4) overhead in conformance with the definitions of welding positions described in Figures. 5.4 and 5.5. Each WPS shall be tested in the position in which welding will be preformed in the work, except that test welds made in the flat positions qualify for flat and horizontal welding.
Dose that mean that I can write a horizontal groove weld procedure off my PQR that was done in the flat position?
Any help would be appreciated.
