It is acceptable to use mixed WPS, for example GMAW with SAW sustained with individual PQR by every process GMAW (Full) and SAW (Full). Example for a thickness of 12.5 mm Joint V, first pass GMAW, SAW rest. What are the considerations to take into account?

Do you have a copy of ASME Section IX?

Yes, appreciate your reply, thanks

ASME Section IX is quite clear on the abilities and requirements of utilizing multiple PQR's and multiple processes. It all comes down to making sure your weldment stays within the qualification ranges allowed by the PQR you generate.
