Qualifying Tube-to-Tubesheet welds under ASME IX requires careful consideration of the latest standards. With the 2021 updates to Section VIII, Division 1, the introduction of UW-28(b) provides clarity on whether to follow QW-193 for mockup qualification or opt for groove and fillet welds under QW-202. Depending on your project’s requirements, these options give you the flexibility to qualify your procedures in alignment with ASME IX, ensuring compliance without unnecessary complexity. ProWrite's code-assistance features make this process more efficient by allowing welding engineers, CWIs, and fabricators to qualify procedures with or without QW-193, based on project requirements. The qualification process is also guided by the essential variables in QW-288 and QW-387, which must be accounted for when qualifying procedures or welder performance. Whether working with GTAW or other processes, these variables set the limits within which qualifications must fall. By adhering to these requirements, you ensure your Tube-to-Tubesheet welds meet both procedure and performance qualifications. ProWrite streamlines the management of these essential variables, allowing you to confidently meet ASME IX standards and maintain compliance throughout the qualification process.
