Hi all, I just want to make sure I got this down correct.
I am trying to qaulify GTAW on A36 3/8" plate using a open root groove weld. From what I understand, According to table 4.2 I need weld up figure 11 and take 4 bend tests, 2 tensile tests, and from what note A says in table 4.2, I need to also have these plates either put under RT or UT prior to any other tests following welding. Along with all that, I also need to do this test in each position. (2G, 3G up, 3G down, and 4G) if I want to qaulify this WPS to all positions. (2G covers 1G as well according to table 4.1) I was surprised to see the NDT requirement and the need to weld this rather large sample for each position but I understand why. Anyone see anything that I overlooked?

code: D1.1 2006

Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
