I have a need of a Qualified WPS for FCAW E71T-1 All position. After three phone calls to AWS technical services for information, I thought that I had enough information to make a responsible purchase. I bought (SWPS B2.1-1-019-94). I did not know that the last two numbers '94' were the date of writting. After buying the SWPS I found on page two of twelve that the proceedure was unfit for modern structural welding. The statement "This proceedure is not Qualified for Notch Toughness" means that it won't pass V notch requirements. I have not seen a structural steel specification since 1998 that did not require FCAW notch toughness. There was no PQR with this SWPS making it equally worthless.
Why is the thing for sail?
Will it be updated?
Is there a place where one can view the specifics of SWPS's before buying?
Who can I write to too complain?
