Can a Combination of a Few PQR Support a Single AWS WPS?

10/31/2010 8:20 PM

May i know can we combine a few PQRs to support a single wps in AWS standard like ASME?

For example a PQR of GTAW process (for root run) combine with FCAW (for fiiling and capping) PQR to become a combination new re-write WPS. Is this re-write WPS can be qualified?

Normally, does anybody practise this combination of AWS PQRs?

Does the AWS code stated whether this can be done or not? Which section?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Your acronyms are not known to everyone on this forum. If you want a sensible answer, please take the trouble to present your question in an understandable way.

hctoo as you can see only two of your acronyms have a single reference to welding. Please try to avoid their use.

May i know can we combine a few PQRs Patent and Quality Review to support a single wps Websphere Portal Server in AWS Advanced Warning System standard like ASME Australian Society for Music Education?

For example a PQR Price Quote Facility of GTAW gas tungsten arc welding process (for root run) combine with FCAW Flux Core Arc Welding (for fiiling and capping) PQR Part Qualification Requirements to become a combination new re-write WPS Wi-Fi Positioning System. Is this re-write WPS Words Per Second can be qualified?

Normally, does anybody practise this combination of AWS As We Speak PQRs Production Qualification Round?

Does the AWS Alternative Work Schedule code stated whether this can be done or not? Which section?

I think that the best answer would be to contact AWS for a ruling. http://www.aws.org/w/a/ It's been a while since I've read a code book. Personal opinion would be that for it to be a PQR it would have to include the root pass being run with fcaw and gmaw cap. The rest of you grow up.

I translated it for myself correctly and it made sense to me, but not being a welder I didn't comment.

But I did do the spoof translation, partly out of devilment, partly to show the folly of using so many acronyms.

You will need to qualify the Specification Procedure because you are changing one of the essencial variables, using other welding process, go to the ASME Section IX for advise.

Rondouli had it right hit the AWS forum where the acronyms you described are common and those on the AWS can speak that language very well. I hit that sight often and you will get an answer from them.
