Can you run a 1g plate PQR test and be qualified to run a 1g rotated > 2 7/8" dia production pipe? I'm new to the ASME and NAVSEA game, so bare with me here. lol I'l try not to ask to many questions. ;-) No I don't have a ASME code book, but I do have NAVSEA. Per NAVSEA Tech Pub 248, I see that you can do what I stated above for welder performance qualification, but procedure qaulification looks a bit confusing and or different so I'm think ASME is the same. I say this because I just received a PQR per ASME from a mechanical contractor and they did a 1G plate test and have written in the min outside dia, Groove welds, " All if rolled, 2 7/8" and over if fixed position", Fillet welds, "All if rolled, 1" and over if fixed position". Is that right?
Thanks!
