When does a welder's performance qualification expire according
to the Alberta Pressure Welders Regulation? - ANSWER-On the
date stated on the card, but must be no later than 24 months
following the date it is issued. PWR 8(5)(6)
What type of WPQ variable is a change in pipe diameter beyond
the range qualified for saw? - ANSWER-Essential variable (QW-
354)
What type of variable is a change in F-No. for welder performance
qualification when using SAW and GTAW? - ANSWER-Essential
variable (QW350,Tbl QW-416)
What type of variable is a change from downward to upward in
the progression specified for a vertical weld pass for welder
performance qualifications when using SAW? - ANSWER-Not
listed as a variable in Sec. IX (QW350,Tbl QW-416)

Table (QW-451) For a SMAW PQR groove weld pipe test coupon
5/8" thickness, P-No. 1 base metal, in the 6g position, with a
single pass weld and a 250 degree preheat and 1100 degree
PWHT, what is the maximum WPS thickness of the base metal
that can be qualified ? (Round to the nearest 0.001 in) -
ANSWER-3/16 in to 0.688 in QW-451, QW-403.9 for single pass
or multipass welding in which any pass is greater than ½ in
(13mm) thick, an increase in base metal thickness beyond 1.1
times that of the qualification test coupon. Since a single pass
weld is made that is greater than ½" then QW-403.9 in Note 1
must be applied. With T= 5/8 in or 0.625 in and applying QW-
403.10 with a maximum qualified thickness of 1.1 T, then the
maximum qualified WPS thickness become 1.1 x 0.625in. =
0.688"

5/8 in . thickness, P-No.3 to P-No. 3 base metal with a 250 deg
and a normalizing PWHT, what is the WPS thickness range of
base metal that can be qualified? - ANSWER-3/16in to 0.688 in.

than P-7, P-No. 8 and p-No.45 when a procedure qualification test

coupon receives a postweld heat treatment exceeding the upper
transformation temperature, the maximum qualified base metal
thickness T shall not exceed 1.1 times the thickness of the test
coupon. NOT 2 times as in the chart.
(QW-452.1) A welder welds an NPS 6 Schedule 80 test coupon
that is 0.432 in. thick. He uses one welding process, one set of
essential variables, and deposits three layers of weld metal in that
test coupon. Is that welder qualified to weld the qualified WPS "
maximum to be welded? - ANSWER-No, the nominal coupon
thickness must be at least ½ inch thick in order for a welder to be
qualified for " maximum to be welded" QW-452.1(b) Inter IX-01-27
Can a double beveled plat, 1 inch thick with each beveled grove
being of ½, be welded by a welder qualified to weld a weld metal
deposit of 0.864 in? - ANSWER-No, since the welder is only
qualified to weld up to 0.864 inch and the deposited weld metal
for this joint would be 1 inch. QW-452.1(b) Inter IX-83-90
