QW-181.1 Procedure. The dimensions and preparation of the fillet‐weld test coupon for procedure qualification as required in QW-202 shall conform to the requirements in Figure QW-462.4(a) or Figure QW-462.4(d). The test coupon for plate‐to‐plate shall be
cut transversely to provide five test specimen sections,each approximately 2 in. (50 mm) long. For pipe‐to‐plate or pipe‐to‐pipe, the test coupon shall be cut transversely to provide four approximately equal test specimen sections. The test specimens shall be macro‐examined to the requirements of QW-183.QW-181.1.1 Production Assembly Mockups . Production assembly mockups may be used in lieu of QW-181.1. The mockups for plate‐to‐shape shall be cut transversely to provide five approximately equal test specimens not to exceed approximately 2 in. (50 mm) in length. For pipe‐to‐shape mockups, the mockup shall be cut transversely to provide four approximately equal test specimens. For small mockups, multiple mockups may be required to obtain the required number of test specimens.The test specimens shall be macro‐examined to the requirements of QW-183.
QW-181.2 Performance. The dimensions and the preparation of the fillet‐weld test coupon for performance qualification shall conform to the requirements in Figure
QW-462.4(b) or Figure QW-462.4(c). The test coupon for plate‐to‐plate shall be cut transversely to provide a center section approximately 4 in. (100 mm) long and two end
sections, each approximately 1 in. (25 mm) long. For pipe‐to‐plate or pipe‐to‐pipe, the test coupon shall be cut to provide two quarter sections test specimens opposite
to each other. One of the test specimens shall be fracture tested in accordance with QW-182 and the other macro‐examined to the requirements of QW-184. When
