    The document is a table from the ASME BPVC.IX-2017 standards that lists welding variables and their classification as essential, supplementary-essential, or nonessential for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) procedure specifications. It provides definitions for different welding variables, identifies the variables that are considered essential for qualifying a procedure, and specifies additional essential variables for special processes like hard facing overlays and corrosion resistant overlays.
