The first essential variable listed is # $ %(Removal of).
As we can see:
1. Under 1 inch (25mm) qualifies the diameter
down to the size welded to unlimited
diameter, " it is only easier for the
welder as the diameter of the Pipe welded
increases.
2. From 1 inch (25mm) to 2-7/8 inch (73mm)
qualifies 1 inch to unlimited.
3. Over 2-7/8 inch (73mm) qualifies 2-7/8 inch
to unlimited.

QW-452.1 (b)
Thickness Of Weld Metal Deposit
Example
Assume one welding process, SMAW and one
electrode E-7018 using a P-No.1 pipe.
A coupon thickness of )12 inch was welded
using *02. In the column on the right titled
µThickness of weld metal qualified¶ we see
,
so 2 x 3/8´ = )1´ this is the maximum amount
of E-7018 (F-No. 4) , that the welder can
deposit in production.
QW-452.1 (b)
Thickness Of Weld Metal Deposit
Quiz
How can we qualify a welder for '
Solution
If he or she welds a coupon that is at least 1´
thick and deposits at least 1/2´ of E-6010 and at
least 1/2´ of E-7018 using a minimum of three
weld layers for each filler metal.
The welder can deposit unlimited t with any F-
No.3 and/or F-No.4 with any production WPS he
is otherwise fully qualified for such as, position,
P-No., backing, diameter, progression etc.

QW-423 Alternate Base Metals for
Welder Qualification

Next an example of the coupons required
for a 2G and 5G test
which will qualify a welder for all four of the
positions, Flat, Horizontal, Vertical and,
Overhead just the same as the single 6G
test.
This coupon requires 6 bend specimens
instead of the usual 4, taken from the
locations indicated in the graphic.
We will now examine the figures
referenced in QW-452.1(b) for
Welder¶s ³Thickness of Weld Metal (t)
Qualified´.

Notice that the welder must deposit at least
1/2´ in a minimum of three layers/passes to
be qualified for unlimited thickness in
production. All thickness below 1/2´ follow
the 2 x t rule.
