when doing a pqr for 1.5" P1 groove on plate (pwht exempt with 250f preheat) fcaw process, table QW-451.1 states note (3) when max. thickness t of deposited weld metal equal to or greater than 3/4" for 1.5" to 6" included
Note (3) For the SMAW, SAW, GMAW, PAW, and GTAW welding processes only; otherwise per Note (1) or 2T, or 2t, whichever is applicable.
With that being stateded, would the FCAW process fall under the GMAW for QW 255 Gas Metal-Arc Welding (GMAW and FCAW).
What i'm trying to say is that FCAW process is not in note (3)
This is 2010 ASME Section IX
Thanks
