That's not right.
It's like saying "a car is a 1974 Ford Maverick, 4 door, yellow paint, a 6 cylinder with auto transmission".
That certainly is a car, but all cars are most definitly not that. There are literally tens of thousands of variations of cars out there and there are also that many variations possible for a welder qualification test under 1104.
I've seen weld tests run from butt welds on 3/4" pipe up to 36" .750 wall.
Branch and t 's in all shapes and sixes.
Sleeves.
All available grades of pipe.
All types and sizes of downhill pipe rods, 7018, 8018, 9018, flux core downhill, dual shield uphill, even oxy-acy torch welded.
Pipe in the horizontal position, on a 45, in the vertical position, or rolled.

There is no "one" 1104 test. There are some that are more common.

OK maybe I need to clarify, This is the test for the company I work for. Sorry, I didn't mean to make sound like that was the only test for 1104.
Parent - By JTMcC (***) Date 12-08-2007 03:45
I hear over and over, about "the" 1104 test or "the" AWS test or "the" structural test or "the" 6g test or "the" pipeline test. It almost makes me cringe a bit : )

So, thanks for clarifying.

A 1104 single test is either a butt in 5 or 6G. A Multiple is 5G butt and branch. Welding rods depend on what is being welded and procedure's. But in the pipeliner world a 1104 test is a 12 on 12 butt and branch.

Not when it's a half a 16", or a 24", or a 36".
These are very common sizes of pipe to test on it the pipeline world.
And a sleeve test is pretty common as well.

These are being taken all across the country, as we speak, on mainline construction jobs.
