 WPS COMMENTS

Companies logo has not mentioned

The document is proposed WPS(PWPS),not wps

PQR has to qualify(this is only PWPS )

Not mentioned the edition/addenda.

As A608 HK40 is an ASTM material, and it is not mentioned in ASME section IX
QW 422 so it is referred to as unlisted material according to clause QW 420.
clause QW 420 also states that If an unlisted base metal has the same UNS
number designation as a base metal listed in table QW/QB-422,it shall be
considered as assigned to that P-Number or
P-Number plus Group Number. However, only base metals listed in table
QW/QB-422 with minimum tensile strengthvalues may be used for procedure
qualification testcoupons. so reviewing the MTC of A608 HK40 will give the
UNS number for the material. correlate this UNS number with the table
QW/QB-422 and that material can be used for qualification.

ASTM material do not posses any P.NO's

Sheilding gas to be used is as per QW 408
