Note 1: Metal backing may be used when permitted by project specifications. Backing materials shall consist of the same P number as the base
material. When using split-type backing rings in pipe, tack welding across the split is not permitted. Backing rings in pipe and tube shall be
securely tacked on the upstream side of the joint to prevent dislodgement in service.

WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION
(ASME SECTION IX)
Form No. ASME WPS, Rev. 11/09
Technique (QW-410):
Single or Multiple Electrode: Single Electrode Spacing: N/A Multiple or Single Pass per Side: As Required
String or Weave Bead: String or Slight Weave Peening: None
Contact Tube to Work Distance: N/A Oscillation: N/A
Initial Cleaning: File, grind, chip or machine surfaces to be welded plus one-half inch on either side of the anticipated toe of the weld. Remove oil,
grease and other contaminants using approved solvents.
Method of Backgouging: For double-welded joints, back-gouge to sound weld metal using mechanical or thermal methods before welding second side.
Interpass Cleaning: Chip, file, grind and/or brush each layer as needed. Inspect and remove defects prior to depositing next pass.
