For procedure qualification, does a 3/4" thick, 3G FCAW coupon qaulify you for all positions? Note 2 only specifies that for semi auto proceses GMAW-P and GMAW-S need a 2G and a pipe coupon qualified to get an all position qualification. So does that mean just a 3G FCAW coupon will get you all positions?

Thanks!

Note 2 is only saying that you need to do multiple tests (pipe and plate) to get all positions. This, I think is because of concerns of fusion with these 2 transfer modes.
This note has nothing to do with flux core, just follow the table as usual for positions qualified using flux core. What I'm saying is, if you are qualifying flux core, forget that you read note 2, it doesn't apply.
