Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) As Per Asme Sec. Ix: Project Contractor Inspection Work

This document provides a welding procedure specification for shielded metal arc welding of steel plates and pipes. It specifies the joint design, base and filler metals, welding positions, preheat requirements, electrical characteristics and technique details for the welding process. The WPS applies to manual SMAW welding of ASTM A516 Grade 70 steel with E7018 electrodes in the 1.6mm to 20mm thickness range for both groove and fillet welds.
