Here is the situation...
Sure, and by the way I really appreciate your time.
I have welders who have qualified in accordance with D1.1, Ch. 4, Sect. C.
I have qualified them on 3.00" O.D. Schedule 80 pipe in the 6G position, with backing, SMAW.
The SWPS I used for the performance qualification test was ANSI/AWS B2.1-1-016-94 "Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-1/ P-1, S-1), 1/8- 1 1/2" Thick, E7018, As-welded or PWHT Condition.
Are the welders qualified to now weld on M-1, P-1, S-1 base metals as well the base meatls of D1.1 Tbl 3.1 and 4.9?
Does anything in the D1.1 prohibit the welders form welding outside the D1.1 pre-approved base metals?
