Statement on Use of A W S Standards


All standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the American Welding Society are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the American National Standards Institute. When AWS standards are either incorporated in, or made part of, documents that are included in federa or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental body having staimtory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.

Foreword
(This Foreword i not a part of the ANSIIAWS B2.1.001-90, Standard Welding Procedure Specfication, but is s included for information purposes oniy.) ' The American Welding Society and the Welding Research Council have joined in a cooperative effort to generate standard welding procedures for industry. The need for pretested welding procedures that are supported by adequate test data and that satisfy the technical requirements for the commonly used construction codes and specifications has been expressed by many individuals and organizations. The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test data for assessing the properties of a weld joint. This Welding Procedure Specification is an outgrowth of the coordinated work of the Welding Procedures Committees of WRC and the Committee on Welding Qualification of AWS.The Welding Procedures Committee has provided the test data documented on Procedure Qualification Records, which are availablefrom the Welding Research Council. The welding terms used in this specification shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latest n edition of ANSI/ AWS A3.0, Standard Welding Termsand De$nitions. Welding symbols shall be those shown i the latest edition of ANSI/AWS A2.4, Symbokfor Weldingand Nondestructive Testing. The AWS Committee on Welding Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide welding standards concerning the subject of qualification. The primary document developed by this Committee is AWS B2.1, Standard for Welding hs Procedure and Performance Qualification.T i document established the foundation and framework for Standard Welding Procedure Specifications. Comments on this publication will be most welcome. They should be addressed to: Secretary, AWS Committee on Welding Qualification, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135.

Standard Weldins Procedure Specification (WPS)

Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-VP-I, Group Ior 2), 3/16 through 3/4 inch, in the As-Welded Condition, with Backing.

Welding Research Council -Supporting PQR Numbers: OOIA, 002A

Application
The data to support this Standard Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) have been derived from two or more Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) completed according to the requirements in AWS B2.1 under the auspices of the Welding Research Council. T i hs Standard WPS is not valid using conditions and variables outside the ranges listed. The American Welding Society considers that this Standard WPS presents information for producing an acceptable weld using the conditions and variables listed. The user needs a significant knowledge of welding and accepts full responsibility for the performance of the weld and for providing the engineering capability, qualified personnel, and proper equipment to implement this Standard Welding Procedure Specification. The referencing fabrication code or specification and the engineering requirements are intended to specify any requirements related to design, need for heat-treatment, fabricating, tolerances, quality control, safe welding and

testing practices, and examinations and tests applicable to the end product. A Standard WPS does not replace or substitute for fabrication codes, specifications, contract requirements, or capability and judgement on the part of the user. A Standard WPS is to be used only as permitted by the applicable fabrication code, specification, or contract document. The ability to produce production welds having properties suitable for the application depends upon supplementing the Standard WPS with appropriate performance qualification tests and sound engineering judgment. A Standard WPS may be supplemented by attached or referenced information and instructions that may be necessary to make an acceptable weldment. Safety precautions shall conform to the latest edition of ANSI/ ASC 249.1, Safeiy in Welding and Cuiiing, published by the American Welding Society. This specification may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. The specification does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It i the responsibility of the user to establish s appropriate safety and health practices. The user should determine the applicability of any regulatory limitations prior to use.
