2. Procedure qualification tests shall be completed prior to starting fabrication. All welding
procedure specifications (WPS) and procedure qualification records (PQR) to be used shall be
submitted to Purchaser for approval prior to the start of production welding. Welding
procedure qualification records (PQR) shall include the results of additional tests when these
tests are specified by the Applicable codes and this specification.
3. For low temperature service (minimum design temperature below 0OC), procedure
qualifications for ferritic materials shall include impact tests of both the weld metal and heat
affected zones.
4. When the thickness of cylindrical parts of the vessel (shell thickness) is 100 mm and over,
welding procedure qualification tests shall include impact tests of both the weld metal and heat
affected zones. The test temperature shall be the minimum design temperature or 0OC,
whichever is lower.
5. Procedure qualification tests for welding steels classified into low-alloy (P-3, P-4 and P-5
materials) shall include hardness tests of the weld metal and heat affected zones after
postweld heat treatment. Hardness values shall not exceed the limits given below.

P – No. Materials Maximum Brinell (BHN) Hardness Number

C–0.5 Mo, Mn–Mo, Mn–Mo-Ni 225
3
Cr 0.5% Max. 225
4 Cr 0.5% to 2% 225
