Draft WPS

This welding procedure specification is for SMAW welding of carbon steel pipe and plate joints using E7014 electrodes. It specifies the joint design, base metals, filler metals, welding positions and progression, preheat and interpass temperatures, electrical characteristics, and technique details. The WPS applies to groove welds from 0.5D to unlimited diameter pipe and all fillet welds on pipe and plate. Welding will be done with single electrodes in the vertical up position using multiple passes at specified current, voltage and travel speed ranges.
