I had a question on Pre-WPS criteria. I was going to be writing some Pre-WPS in FCAW process. To properly follow the code book, i would need to write a WPS for each weld joint that i would want to use, and if that weld joint would be welded to different different groups of steels that would require others correct? Example: B-U2-GF Group 1 to Group 1 Steel is one procedure, B-U2-GF Group 1 to Group 2 is a procedure, and B-U2-GF Group 2 to Group 2 is another. And if i picked another weld joint out that process would repeat correct? So i would basically have 3 weld procedures per weld joint per the code to do it correctly. I just want to make sure i am reading this correctly or if i am missing something that would allow me to only write one WPS per joint. Debating on writing all the procedures of just having someone weld up a couple FCAW procedure quals in different positions and that way i only have one weld procedure instead of multiple.
Thanks
