This welding procedure specification outlines requirements for welding carbon steel pipes using gas tungsten arc welding and gas metal arc welding. It specifies the joint designs, base and filler metals, welding parameters, and postweld heat treatment to be used. Key details include:
- Welding carbon steel pipes 2-45.2mm thick in butt, branch, socket and fillet joints.
- Using ER70S-2 filler metal and argon shielding gas for GTAW, and ER70S-2 filler metal with an argon-carbon dioxide mix for GMAW.
- Postweld heat treatment will be stress relieving between 593-649°C for a minimum of 1
