This document defines welding codes, standards, and welding procedures. It discusses that a standard is a collection of documents containing codes, specifications, recommended practices, classifications, and guidelines that have been prepared by an institution or organization and approved according to existing procedures. A code is a standard that contains conditions and requirements related to a particular subject and indicates that the procedures used comply with the requirements. A specification is a standard that contains detailed and accurate technical requirements for materials, products, systems or services. It provides examples of welding codes from various organizations and discusses the essential variables and requirements for qualifying welding procedures according to ASME and EN standards.

Why a WPS
A weld cannot be checked to the full extent !
strength, ductility and corrosion resistance can
only be checked by destructive techniques.
properties can only be guaranteed for the
actual product when manufactured to
exactly the same written procedure,
and carefully controlled.
10

11. Why a WPS
The main objective of a
WPS is to make a
welding operation
reproducable
What is a WPS ?
The welding procedure is somewhat
analogous to a cook's recipe.
It outlines the steps required to make a quality
weld under specific conditions.
The WPS is a communication tool, and it is the
primary means of communication to all the
parties involved regarding how the welding is
to be performed.
It must therefore be readily available to
foremen, inspectors and the welders.
11

12. What is a WPS ?
According to QW-100.1 ASME Sec IX.
Welding Procedure Specification (WPS).
WPS is a written document that provides direction to the
welder or welding operator for making production welds
in accordance with Code requirements.
According to QW-200.2 ASME Sec IX.
Procedure Qualification Record (PQR).
A PQR is a record of the welding data used to weld a test
coupon. The PQR is a record of variables recorded
during the welding of the test coupons. It also contains
the test results of the tested specimens. Recorded
variables normally fall within a small range of the actual
variables that will be used in production welding.
What is WPS Variables ?
Process
(SMAW, FCAW, etc.)
Electrode specification
(AWS A5.1, A5.20, etc.)
Electrode classification
(E7018, E71T-1, etc.)
Electrode diameter
(1/8 in., 5/32 in., etc.)
Electrical characteristics
(AC, DC+, DC-)
Base metal specification
(A36, A572 Gr50, etc.)
Minimum preheat and interpass
temperature
Welding current (amperage)/wire feed speed
Arc voltage
Travel speed
Position of welding
Post weld heat treatment
Shielding gas type and flow rate
Joint design details
12

13. What is Variales in WPS ?
1. Essential Variable :
QW-401.1 Essential Variable (Procedure).
A change in a welding condition which will affect the
mechanical properties (other than notch toughness) of the
weldment (for example, change in P-Number, welding
process, filler metal, electrode, preheat or postweld heat
treatment, etc.).
QW-401.2 Essential Variable (Performance).
A change in a welding condition which will affect the
ability of a welder to deposit sound weld metal (such as a
change in welding process, deletion of backing, electrode,
F-Number, technique, etc.).
What is Variales in WPS ?
2. Supplemental Essential Variable :
QW-401.3 Supplemental Essential Variable (Procedure).
A change in a welding condition which will affect the notchtoughness properties of a weldment (for example, change in
welding process, uphill or down vertical welding, heat input,
preheat or PWHT, etc.).
When a procedure has been previously qualified to satisfy all
requirements other than notch toughness, it is then necessary
only to prepare an additional test coupon using the same
procedure with the same essential variables, but additionally
with all of the required
supplementary essential variables, with the coupon long
enough to provide the necessary notch-toughness specimens.
13

14. What is Variales in WPS ?
3. Nonessential Variable :
QW-401.4 Nonessential Variable (Procedure).
A change in a welding condition which will not affect the
mechanical properties of a weldment (such as joint design,
method of back gouging or cleaning, etc.)
