Study Notes
Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)
- A single WPS can cover multiple PQRs, e.g., one WPS can cover a thickness range of 1.6 mm to 32 mm if PQRs are available for 1.6 mm to 4.8 mm and 4.8 mm to 32 mm thickness ranges.
- WPS specifies the conditions (ranges) under which welding must be performed, known as variables.
- Essential variables in WPS include:
- Change in qualified thickness
- Change in P number
- Change in F number of filler metal
- Change in A number of filler metal
- Change in deposited metal thickness
- Decrease of more than 100 F in preheat
Weld Orientation and Groove Positions
- Plate groove positions: 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G
- Pipe groove positions: 1G, 2G, 5G, 6G
- Plate fillet positions: 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F
- Pipe fillet positions: 1F, 2F, 2FR, 4F, 5F
Base Metal Classification
- Base Metal P Numbers:
- P1 - P11: Steel
- P21 - P25: Al alloys
- P31 - P35: Cu alloys
- P41 - P47: Ni alloys
- P51 - P53: Ti alloys
- P61 - P62: Zr alloys
- Group number classification of metals within P numbers for procedure qualification, considering notch toughness requirements
Filler Metal Classification
- Filler Metal F Numbers: based on usability characteristics (ability of welders to make satisfactory welds)
- Filler Metal A Numbers: based on chemical composition
- A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12
- Specific A numbers correspond to specific alloy compositions (e.g., mild steel, Cr-Mo steel, Cr-Mo-V steel, etc.)
Heat Treatment
- Preheat temperature: minimum temperature of the workpiece in the weld zone immediately before welding
- Interpass temperature: maximum temperature of the weld during welding and between passes in a multi-run weld
- Preheat maintenance temperature: minimum temperature in the weld zone to be maintained during welding interruptions
- Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT): applied to some welded steels to ensure suitable properties for intended applications
Welding Inspectors and Heat Treatment
- Welding inspectors need to be familiar with material test certificates and heat treatment principles
- Tasks of monitoring thermal cycles and checking heat treatment records are often delegated to welding inspectors
