Hi Friends
I'm Muhammad Faisal working as a Senior Welding Inspector.
I want to clarify one confusion about API 1104 In-Service Welder Qualification. Can anybody tell me what will be the qualification coupon of WQT for in-service welder qualification? As Annex B.3 of API 1104 is clearly saying follow 6.2 for single welder qualification but how we create the water flow condition for the real-time in-service conditions?
I really appreciate your answers.

API 1104 is pretty clear about the test set-up to qualify a welder for in-service welding.

Mr. Faisal,
you would have to find a facility that gives this test. (Annex B.3) If you were in the Houston area I could recommend a couple of places. If not then you will need to go online a search out a facility that can give this test. This picture is one under Annex B its for a PQ. It shows the set up.
