Thanks Shane!

So you know this person? okay then but, I hope they know that if you're not available they'll have to give more details in order to get an answer. :cool:

Also, just so they know, I'm not trying to give them a hard time, I'm just describing to them how it's done here so please do not get offended Reta...

Enjoy the R&R Shane! You deserve it friend!!! :wink:

Respectfully,
Henry

Yes Sir,

A welder who have been qualified by any groove weld shall be qualified for fillet weld with all base material thicknesses, fillet sizes and diameters. So in your case, if all variables are the same so I would like to confirm that the welder you mentioned is qualified for fillet weld.

Make a reference to ASME IX QW-452.6 you will find your answer!

Best regards,

I went to section QW-402 and it said a double welded groove weld is considered welding with backing

By 46.00

reta, QW-452.6 is quite clear. Whether a groove weld is backed or not, is irrelevant! Shane & congnt.biz are correct!
