WELDING PROCEDURE AND
QUALIFICATION
SCOPE

 General Requirements
 Design of Welded Connections
 Prequalification
 Qualification
 Fabrication
 Inspection
 Stud Welding

 Strengthening and Repair of Existing Structure

STANDARD TERMS
 CJP: Complete Joint Penetration
 PJP: Partial Joint Penetration

CJP
PJP

Fillet Weld
 LIMITATION AND CODE
 The code is not intended to be used for the
following:
 Steels with a minimum specified yield strength greater than 100 ksi
(690 MPa)
 Steels less than 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick.
 Pressure vessels or pressure piping
 Base metals other than carbon or low-alloy steels. AWS D1.6,
Structural Welding Code — Stainless Steel, should be used for welding
stainless steel structures. Whenever contract documents specify AWS
D l.l for welding stainless steel, the requirements of AWS D1.6 should
apply.

PRE-QUALIFICATION OF WPS
 Asper article 3 prequalification of WPS is exempt from
 WPS qualification if following conditions are met

1. Welding Process: SMAW, SAW, GMAW (except GMAW-S) and

FCAW which conform to all of the provisions of this section shall
deemed as prequalified.

2. Base Metal & Filler Meta Shall conform this table

PREQUALIFICATION OF WPS
4. Procedure approved by Engineer

5. Minimum Preheat & Inter-pass Temperature Requirement- Shall be as per

Table 3.2 of page 68 (AWS D1.1: 2008 Code)

5.Limitation of WPS variables

 “All prequalified WPSs to be used shall be prepared by the manufacturer,
fabricator or contractor as written prequalified WPSs, and shall be available
to those authorized to use or examine them. The welding parameter listed
below shall be specified on the written WPS .
 Change in these parameter , beyond those specified on the written WPS
shall be considered essential changes and shall require a new or revised
prequalified written WPS
PREQUALIFICATION OF WPS
 Amperage (Wire Feed Speed)
 Voltage
 Travel Speed
 Shielding Gas Flow Rate
