    The document provides a quick review of the essential variables that require requalification for performance qualification according to AWS D1.3 for structural welding of sheet steel. These variables include thickness, F-number, position, weld joint type, process, coating, and vertical progression. It also summarizes the qualification positions for groove, fillet, and arc seam/spot welds based on the position tested. Finally, it outlines the thickness ranges that welder qualification covers depending on the thickness tested for different weld joint types.

    Quick Review on Performance Qualification
    1-Guide (General on Essential Variables)
    AWS D1.3, Section 4, Performance Qualification Test:
    Any changes on the following items need requalification:
    Thickness, F-Number (SMAW), Position, Weld Joint Type,
    Process, Coating (addition or change), Vertical progression
    Note 1: For the purpose of performance qualification, any one of
    the steels permitted by this code can be used, with no coating or
    have the same coating used in qualification.
    Note 2: Two tests shall be required for each assembly test for
    performance qualification.

    3-Guide (Thickness of Base Metal Range)
    AWS D1.3, 4.7.2 Specific Condition
    Welders or welder operators shall be qualified by making a test
    weldment for each weld joint type, as shown in Table 4.4 with the
    following condition:
    -For arc spots or arc seam welds, test for each thickness (gage) to
    be used in production.
    -For flare groove welds or fillet welds, test for minimum thickness
    of sheet steel to be used in production.
    -For square groove welds, thickness tested to be considered as the
    following guidelines:
    The thickness t (of the thinner sheet qualified) shall qualify the
    welder or welder operator for sheet steel thickness from
    0.5t Min. to 2t Max. (OR) as an alternative:
    -A qualification weld performed on 18 gage sheet steel shall
    qualify the welder or welder operator for metal 16 gage and
    thinner.
    -A qualification weld performed on 10 gage sheet steel shall
    qualify the welder or welder operator for metal as thin as 16 gage
    and thicker, up to 4.8 mm (3/16 in.) Max.
