Hello Bill;
You hit the nail on the head.
"I have a job coming up with A513 DOM tube welded to A514 plate, My QA manager says we have to modify an existing WPS to fit, We have WPS's for A514 to same, A514 to A148 and A36 to A514, I say we need to qualify a PQR for A513 to A514. am i right or wrong?
any feedback would be appreciated!"
Currently Qualified:
A514 to A514 M11B to M11B
A514 to A148 M11B to M4
A514 to A36 M11B to M1
Needs to be qualified for:
A513 to A514 M1 to 11B
So, the A514 to A36 also qualifies the A513 to A514 unless impact toughness is a requirement.
Best regards - Al
