Questions 209 through 214 refer to the WPS/PQR documents on the 
following pages 
209) How many essential variables mentioned on the WPS No. SAMW‐001? 
Answer: 10.                                                                               Ref: ASME IX, QW‐253 
210)  joint design on the WPS No. SAMW‐001 is _____________. 
Answer: missing angle bevel and groove angle.       Ref: ASME IX, QW‐200.1(B) /QW‐253 
211) Does the WPS show the maximum base metal thickness range that could be qualified 
by the PQR ‐ 001? 
Answer: No, it should be 3/16 inch to 1 inches.       Ref: ASME IX, QW‐451.1 

C)

212) Does the WPS show the Weld Metal Deposited Thickness range that could be 
qualified by the PQR ‐ 001? 
Answer: No, it should be it should be 1/4 in maximum For E6010 and 3/4 in maximum 
for E7108.  OR   No, it should be it should be 1 in maximum.

213) Do tensile test results shown on PQR ‐ 001 meet the requirements for WPS? 
Answer: No, specimen 2 does not meet requirements.        
                        Ref: ASME IX, Table QW‐451.1 & QW‐150 (151/152/153) & QW‐422 Tables 
1. In order to pass the tension test, the specimen shall have a tensile strength (70,00 psi) that is 
not less than the minimum specified tensile strength of the weld metal. So specimen No. (1) 
mentioned on PQR breaking in the weld metal is OK at 76,200   
2. if the specimen breaks in the base metal outside of the weld or weld interface, the test shall be 
accepted as meeting the requirements provided the strength is not more so specimen # 2 is 
rejected breaking at 65,500.than 5% below the minimum specified tensile strength of the base 
metal. = 0.95 x specified tensile strength =70,000 x 0.95 = 66,500,  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
214) Bend test results shown on PQR ‐ 001 are_________. 
Answer: Unacceptable, because of defect greater than 1/8 in. (3 mm).
