Where have you looked, so far, for the answers?

That may save us all some time if you let us know what you've done to find the information.

Have you looked at the normal sources???

If the Root and Hot pass are deposited using the measurement in the WPQR after the record is verified, it will be 2 times the recorded weld thickness value achieved during the setting of the of the weld procedure record. (Example: the 2 beads root / hot pass are measure at 3 mm the value on the WPS would reflect this as well as the acceptable dimension of 6mm for any other welding using the multiple per ASME Section IX)

This is only for your current material and the groups it encompasses, ASME allows it to include all fillet welds to unlimited thickness as well.
