Its stated that if the welder weld a min of 13mm with a min of 3 layers, the thickness qualified is "Maximum to be welded". Now what is the actual definition of "Maximum to be welded"
1) The maximum thickness to be welded in the test coupon? or 2) The maximum thickness to be welded in the field or shop?
In either case, if answer 1 is correct then I personally feel that putting "t" or if answer 2 is correct then "unlimited" would be more appropriate. Would appreciate if someone can advise me and if possible let me know where can I find the "official definition"? Thanks alot!
tab, Marty is correct, the welder qualification is 8 inches but naturally the welder cannot weld with a WPS the doesn't support the thickness of his/her qualification. That said, the welder is still qualified for 8 inches, independent of the WPS.
