Dear experts,

I have a fillet weld WPS qualified in plate T-joint in 2F position according to AWS D1.1:2010. Can I use this WPS to weld pipe to plate fillet welds on all diameter pipes?. In AWS D1.1:2015, they have imposed the restriction clearly to ' 600 mm dia. & over only'. But in AWS D1.1:2010 it was not clearly mentioned. We've jobs which still folllows AWS D1.1:2010. Pls give your replies.

Regards,

AWS D1.1 Table 4.1 details that 2F WPS plate fillet weld qualifications apply to pipe and box tubing fillet welds in the flat and horizontal position, without diameter restriction.
The 600mm minimum diameter restriction is concerning butt welds, not fillet welds.
