If you are qualified to weld aluminum under ASME IX are you also qualified under AWS D1.2

Mike,
I am not 100 % sure.
I know that I have worked jobs where i qualified to weld steel under ASME IX and was considered qualified to AWS D1.1
It might be up to the responsible engineering authority to make the call.
anyone else want to chime in?

What is the size(s) of the plate coupon used for weld procedure qualification. Is a single plate 6 inches by 3 inches - making the coupon about 6 in by 6 inch?
---------------------------------------------------
Standard plate sizes for AWS welding performance qualification tests are usually 7 inches for 3/8" thick plates but for thicker plates and for procedure qualification they are often longer to provide for more test specimens like tensile specimens or metallograhic testing.
