Up Topic American Welding Society Services / Certifications / D1.3 Welder qualification
- - By doitdorado (*) Date 06-01-2012 13:00
Please clarify, D1.3/D1.3M:2008 Table 4.4 note a, this note states “Two tests shall be required for each assembly”. We have an internal disagreement on what this actually requires. If the welder is qualifying for the vertical position only, then 2 test assemblies would be required. If the welder is qualifying for the vertical and overhead position, then only one test assembly for each position would be required, as opposed to Table 4.1 note a for WPS qualification, which states “Two test shall be required for each welding position…”
Thank you in advance.

D1.3 Clause 4.8.1.1 (Under Number of Tests and Methods for Welder Performance Qualification) states, ".... The number and type of test assemblies, their method of testing, and the test results shall be the same as for WPS Qualification (see Table 4.4)."

For performance quals, I would interpret that two tests are required for EACH position tested".    Two for vertical and two for overhead.
