Topic Welding Industry / General Welding Discussion / CWI Test and ASME sec IX

I just noticed this, but it seems ASME sec IX (B31.1/B3.3) is listed as a code test subject on the CWI application.

Anyone have experience with testing to this code? Also, I really don't understand the "(B31.3/B3.3)" thing. These are 3 different codes, but both "B" codes reference sec IX for WPS' and WPQ's and such. Also, the "B3.3" is not a typo on my part. Did they mean B31.3?

It looks like a typo to me. The B codes are pressure piping codes. 31.1 for Power Piping, 31.3 for Process Piping. The Section codes are Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes. Section I for Boilers. Section III for Nukes. Section VIII for Pressure Vessels, etc. They all tie into Section IX for quals.
