D14.3 = 97 pages

D1.1 = 500 pages

Pretty much the same thing I'm sure.

They're similar, with minor differences.
D1.1 quals would be acceptable for D14.3 work.
However, D14.3 states that weld procedures/quals may be done to B2.1 requirements.

Delaney,

Surely, you would have to admit, asking if the two codes are "similar" leaves a lot of open ground.

And, I was asking myself, why would one ask the question, take offense to sarcastic responses, and be inclined to buy the code if one WASN'T going to be doing a job or qualifying personnel to that code for good reason? 

BUT, neither here nor there, just my own morbid curiosity, and according to a couple around here, I'm just a blow hard who runs everyone off (one would have to notice that the same critic said the same of Lawrence and Al long before I came into his sights). 

Now, I don't feel I can really answer your question with the vagueness of it but will attempt to offer some personal opinion.

YES, it is similar.  All the AWS codes where they concern welder qualification are indeed 'similar'. 

Now, from there, I could drift into the smart aleck remarks and offend you even further than you already are (you know, like: 'they both involve welding so sure they are similar; or, they were both created by AWS and therefore are obviously similar).  And, I have been guilty of playing into that with the other guys and taking up our own offense when someone takes offense that we didn't answer a vague question with great flowing depths of intellectual grandeur and verbose self ego boosting and give you all the quotes from both codes that would totally fulfill the request you made.

But, having said all of that, could you not see it at least a little bit prudent to give us at least a little bit more information?  In what ways do you need to know if it is similar?  What materials do you intend on using?  What processes are you thinking of qualifying the non existent welder to the unneeded code with to be ready for the unforeseen job?  (does that seem sarcastic?  Well, maybe your question seemed as sarcastic to the guys when they first read it!  Especially on a Friday afternoon going into Memorial Day 3 day weekend with summer coming on full bore!)

Look, I don't want to make you any madder, irritated, or aggravated than you are.  But try to see this in a different light and help us out a little with what types of information you are looking for.

He Is In Control, Have a Great Day,  Brent
