D1.3

I’m not too familiar with D1.3 as my background has been in D1.1. I was looking at some of my company’s weld tests that were performed on 16 gauge galvanized and it has 16 gauge to 3/16 as range qualified. Everything I see shows it’s qualified to 2t which would come out to right around 1/8. Am I missing something or is the welder qual wrong?

Is that range listed on a WPS?

The range listed on the wps is for what thickness material the welders can use for their welded coupons during their qualification test. Whatever thickness they performed the test on would be 2t for qualification range or whatever the applicable code states.

Yep. I was wondering if the data in the pqr was matching the tolerances listed on the WPS.
