TIG Welding Procedure Guide

This welding procedure specification outlines the requirements for a manual TIG welding process using grade 304L stainless steel. It specifies single sided butt welds for pipe with outside diameters between 25-100mm and wall thicknesses of 3-8mm. Two runs will be used, with the root run using a 1.2mm filler wire and 70-90 amps, and the second run using a 1.6mm wire at 80-140 amps. Argon shielding gas will be used at a flow rate of 8-12 LPM for the shield and 5 LPM for backing. Visual inspection will be used to qualify the completed welds.
