Dear sirs,
I would like to request you to give good interpretation regading the following matter.
History
Welder qualification was done with NPS 2" pipe successfully.
As per ASME IX QW-452.3, the welder can weld OD 1" and over.
However, client has different interpretation like below:
The qualified welder can weld NPS 1" and over. If the welder wants to do welding NPS 3/4" pipe then requalification shall be done with NPS 1/2" pipe or NPS 3/4". In case of NPS 3/4"pipe welding, inner diameter of NPS 3/4" pipe is below 1" (25.4mm). That`s why requalification shall be done.
Please clarify shortly

감사합니다.
