IF A WPS IS MADE FOR GROOVE WELD 1G,2G & 3G.ACCORDING TO TABLE 4.4 PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION A WELDER OPERATOR MAY TEST IN 3G ONLY, AND BE QUALIFIED IN 1G,2G & 3G.AM I CORRECT?
Brian, Are you looking at the AWS D1.6 Code? I have the 1999 edition and 4.1.7 states "Qualification of WPS's for CJP groove welds in any position listed in 4.1.9 qualifies for all positions". 4.1.9 refers you to Figure 4.3 for test positions. Any of those positions qualifies the WPS for all positions.
