2. SELECTION AND RECEIVING OF WELDING CONSUMABLES:
2.1. Welding Engineer / QC Engineer shall select the welding consumables based on their
mechanical properties, compatibility with the material to be joined, their suitability for the
intended service and as per the project technical specification.
2.2. Filler wires, Electrodes and Fluxes shall be according to the provisions of ASME Section II,

3. WELDING PROCESS AND FILLER METAL USED
3.1 Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW)
 Low hydrogen electrodes (Except F-Nos. 1 and 2) shall be used for all pressure retaining
welds or attachment to pressure boundaries.
 For carbon steel piping welded from one side only, E6010 may be used for the root pass,
for pipes equal to or greater than NPS 3” . For Carbon Steel pipes less than 3” NPS, Root
pass shall be done by ER 70S-6.
 AWS Electrode classification E6012, E6013, E6020, E6014, E7020, E7024 and E7028
shall not be used for pressure–containing welds. These electrodes, however, may be
used for non-pressure – containing welds of P-1 materials (Ex. Grating, Handrail).
3.2 Gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) :
For carbon steels, the filler metals shall meet chemical and physical test requirements of
AWS A5.18, classification ER 70S-6, ER 70S-2 or ER 70S-3.
3.3 Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) :
For carbon steel, the wires shall conform to AWS A5.20 classification E71T-1, E70T-1, E71T-
5 or E70T-5. This electrode shall be used with an external shielding gas.

3.4 Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) :
For carbon steel, Bare wires shall conform to AWS A5.18 classification ER 70S-6, ER 70S-2
or ER 70S-3.
3.5 SUBMERGED ARC WELDING (SAW) :
 For carbon steels, welding wires shall be limited to AWS classification EM-12K and EL-12
and flux shall be limited to F6A2, F7A2 and F7A4.
 SAW Fluxes that the flux manufacturer recommends for single pass welding shall not be
used for multiple pass welding.
 Active flux are not permitted.
3.6 Carbon and low alloy steel electrodes / wires that have nonspecific chemistry as indicated by
a “G” classification suffix (i. e. EXXXX–G, ERXXX–G or EXXT–G) shall not be used.
3.7 The selection of filler metals for joining similar materials shall be in according with Table #1.
3.8 The selection of filler metals for welding dissimilar materials shall be in accordance with
Table #2.
3.9 Table #1 and Table #2 refer to coated electrodes, for wire welding (SAW, GMAW, GTAW
and FCAW) use equivalent electrode classification (AWS A5.9, A5.14, A5.17, A5.18, A5.20,
A5.23, A5.28, A5.20, A5.22 and A5.29).

4.2 Argon : Shall be as per AWS classification SG-A shall have a minimum purity of 99.997%
Compressed gas association CGA – 11.1 grade C.
5. STORAGE, CONDITIONING AND EXPOSURE OF SMAW ELECTRODES.
Control of Welding Electrodes is illustrated in the attached Flow Chart
5.1 Low Hydrogen Electrodes to A5.1 and A5.5.
 All low Hydrogen electrodes shall be baked as per manufacturers recommendation, if not
purchased in hermetically sealed containers. Electrodes purchased in hermatically sealed
containers need not be baked unless physical evidence of damage is noted in the
container.
Hermetically sealed containers shall be capable of passing the test specified in 5.1.2.
 For test, a representative container shall be immersed in water that has been heated to a
temperature of at least 50oF (28oC) above that of the package material (room
temperature). The container shall be immersed so that the surface under observation is 1
in. (25mm) below the water level and the greatest basic dimension is parallel to the water
surface. A container with a steady steam of bubbles that lasts for 30 seconds or more
does not meet the requirements of the specification.
 Immediately after opening the hermetically sealed container or after electrodes are
removed from backing or holding ovens, electrodes shall be stored in quivers held at a
temperature of 120oC minimum.
 Low Hydrogen coated electrodes meeting the requirements of SFA 5.1, which are not
received in hermitically sealed containers shall be baked at 260°-430°C for 2 hours
minimum. Welding Foreman shall maintain record for electrode baking through “Welding
Electrode Baking Record” (Form No. HCC-6-1-F2).
 Low Hydrogen coated electrodes meeting the requirements of SFA 5.5, which are not
received in hermitically sealed containers shall be baked at 370-430°C for 2 hours
minimum. Welding Foreman shall maintain record for electrode baking through “Welding
Electrode Baking Record” (Form No. HCC-6-1-F2).
 The Baked electrodes shall be kept in heated ovens, maintained at 120oC minimum,
brand and size wise to avoid any mix-up.
 The electrode exposure to the atmosphere shall not exceed the values shown in Table
#III. Electrodes exposed to the atmosphere for period less than those permitted by Table
#III may be returned to a holding oven maintained at 120oC min. after a minimum hold
period of four hours at 120oC min. the electrodes may be re-issued.
 Electrode exposed to the atmosphere for period greater than those permitted in table # III
shall be re-issued
 AWS A 5.1 shall baked for at least two hours at 260-430oC

 AWS A 5.5 shall baked for at least two hours at 370-430oC
 Electrodes shall be re-baked no more than once, electrodes that have been wet shall not
be used.
 All issuance and return of low Hydrogen electrodes from or to holding oven or backing (if
any) shall be logged by welding foreman / store keeper in electrode issue sheet form No.
HCC-6-1-F1 and shall be noted by Welding Engineer / QC Inspector.
 Quivers with a minimum temp. of 120oC are considered to be equivalent to holding oven.
 Proper use of the quivers (e.g. closed lid, continuously on while in use) and periodic
check of the temperature are required using form # HCC-6-1-F3
5.2 Non – low Hydrogen electrodes.
The electrodes shall be stored in a dry environment. Any electrodes that have become moist
or wet shall not be used and shall be discarded.
6. STORAGE, CONDITIONING AND EXPOSURE OF WIRES AND FLUXES.
6.1 SAW Fluxes.
 Flux used shall be dry and free of contamination from dirt, Mill scale or other foreign
material.
 Flux not used shall be kept in silo and flux from damaged packages shall be dried at
260oC minimum for one hour before use.
 Flux received in hermetically sealed bags can be directly used with heating
 After open flux containers or after drying, flux shall be held in a heated silo at 65oC.
 Flux that has been wet or fused in welding shall not be used.
 SAW, FCAW, GTAW and GMAW wires.
 Wire spools for automatic and semi-automatic processes shall be stored with supplier
wrapping not being removed and remain clearly identifiable up to the time of usage.
Unidentifiable wire spools shall not be used.
 All unidentifiable, damaged, rusty or otherwise contaminated consumables shall be

scrapped.
7. ISSUANCE & CONTROL OF WELDING CONSUMABLES
7.1 Welding Foreman / Store Keeper shall issue welding consumables to the welders based on
the WPS. Issue of welding consumables shall be recorded in Electrode / Wire Issue Sheet
(Form No. HCC-6-1-F1).
7.2 Welders shall obtain welding consumables from Welding Foreman / Store Keeper, specific to
their jobs meeting the requirements of WPS. For coated electrodes only a quantity sufficient
to complete the weld or for a period of 8 hours which ever is less will be issue using Electrode
/ Wire Issue Sheet
7.3 Unconsumed electrodes returned for storage are examined by the Welding Foremen / Store
Keeper for condition, cleanliness and identification before return to a segregated oven for
holding / re-baking if they have not been maintained in a portable oven. Only one re-baking is
permitted. Damaged or unidentified electrodes are scrapped.
8. MARKING OF ELECTRODES OR FLUX PACKAGE.
The following product information as a minimum shall be marked on the outside of each unit
package:
 AWS Specification and Classification designation

(year of issue may be excluded)
 Suppliers name and trade designation
 Size and net weight.
 Lot, control or heat number.
9. RECORDS
The following forms to be used for welding consumable Control:

1. See paragraph 2.1.1 & 2.1.2 for welding permitted with E6010 and E6013 electrodes.
2. For design temperature above 538oC, 0.040% minimum Carbon is required.
3. For design temp. below –73oC.
To ensure impact properties of austenitic stainless steel weld with design temperatures of –73oC
or lower, each heat, lot or batch of filler material and filler material /flux combination shall be
“pre-use” tested as required below except that the following filler materials do not require “pre-
use” testing :
