Are you talking ASME Section IX, B31.1???
If this is the case then it's no wonder you cannot find it in the AWS site!!! Why??? Because it falls under ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)Section IX welding code and not AWS! None of this information will be available to for free either so, be prepared to purchase the ASME Section IX welding code and the ASME B31.1 power piping code.
Here's a link to where you can purchase and you can also find ASME section IX in here for sale also:

Let them qualify you in the first place because that certification is only worth the price of admission towards the next job so you can qualify to their WPS's anyway so, the certification only lets the potential employer that you have the capability to pass a similar test when you qualified, but it doesn't mean anything more afterwards and most companies will require you to qualfiy to their own WPS's anyway.
So, if they do not want to let you qualify then, you need to find someone that will, because most folks today are looking for experienced welders who have current experience welding to that code and that's what they mean by having it in hand.
If you go over there and tell them that you're not certified to that code, yet ask them if you can qualify to their WPS's then, you'll be fine... If not, then you need to go down further on down the road so to speak but, hey man don't give up on account of one place not giving you a chance!!! There are a lot of opportunities out there if you look in the right places and are willing to make a real full time effort in seeking them!!! :) :) :)
