This document provides a welding procedure specification for welding low alloy steel pipes with thicknesses ranging from 3/4 to 2 inches. It specifies the welding processes, joint design, base and filler metals, preheat and interpass temperatures, welding parameters, and post weld heat treatment requirements. Key information includes: - The root pass will be completed with gas tungsten arc welding and subsequent passes with shielded metal arc welding. - Groove joints with a 37.5 degree bevel will be used. - Low hydrogen electrodes and gas shielding will be used. - Preheat and interpass temperatures must be maintained at a minimum of 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

All low Hydrogen electrodes should be used from fresh container. If not possible, bake in oven @ 400F for two hours prior to applying for welding.
This procedure is applicable to the above mentioned factors only, any change if made should be notified to Inspection. Contact inspection for any
clarification.
Welding electricity characteristics are as per LINCOLN Spec.
*For constant voltage welding, Voltage will be welding machine specific.

Comments:

Inspection requirements will be communicated at the time of Production / repair of welds.
