Change in WPS from Butt to Fillet Weld Due To Change in Welding Process

12/05/2013 3:08 AM

I am using a WPS for CS Butt joint with GTAW/SMAW process. Now I want to weld fillet joint with only SMAW PROCESS. I want to know i can use the old WPS or I should make a new one for fillet weld. Please tell me with reference with spec.

ASME section IX, QW 202.2 (c) states the following


(c) Qualification for Fillet Welds. WPS qualification for
fillet welds may be made on groove-weld test coupons
using test specimens specified in QW-202.2(a) or (b).
Fillet-weld procedures so qualified may be used for welding
all thicknesses of base metal for all sizes of fillet welds,
and all diameters of pipe or tube in accordance with table
QW-451.4.

Your welding work based on which code? ASME B&PV Section-IX or API-1104 or AWS D1.1 or EN 287-1?

Different type of joint and different welding process, you need a new WPS
