So when I look in AWS D15.1:2012, (Table 11.3), I see that per footnote c "Also qualifies for welding fillet welds of all sizes on material of 1/8 [3mm] to unlimited thickness for the positions qualified in Table 11.4"
I believe that should answer one part of your question as to fillets.
For the Flare bevel, some thoughts:
Per AWS A3.0:2010, the full name of a flare-bevel weld is "flare-bevel-groove weld" on pp18.
It seems that the RR code does not differentiate between the many varieties of groove weld, and welder qualification for one serves for all. Also for your consideration, in Table 11.1, "Performance Qualification-Limitation of Essential Variables" joint type/weld designs do not appear.
Other interesting reading in 11.4:
"Suggested groove welding joint designs are given in figures 11.1 through 11.4. Other designs may be used" (italics mine)
If it was me (and it ain't) I would say by straight code, you are covered with a groove weld test. I might supplement that with some macros or something if you are concerned on the flare-bevels.
Of course, you know all about opinions and the other less savory noun.
I completely agree with you as far as Figures 11.1 through 11.4 but I was talking about with sheet metal. I've had a chance to thoroughly go through the code and as you are correct with those figures however in the sheet metal requirement section of the code it does specify in Table 18.1 "A change in joint design type from one of the below to another type: (a) Square or V Groove, (b) Fillet, (c) Flare Bevel or Flare V"
With that being said I've answered my own question, Yes I do need to have my welders qualified to each joint design because of the fact that they do weld, fillets, grooves and flares. They sure do make it difficult don't they? lol I just wanted to reply to your response and thank you for taking the time to give me a hand. I do apologize for not getting back sooner. Thank you again.
