    PQR shall document all essential variables

  • WELD ORIENTATION

    PLATE POSITIONS (GROOVE WELDS)

    1G( Flat Position) : Plate in a horizontal plate with the weld metal deposited from the above

    3G( Vertical Position) : Plate in a vertical plane with the axis of the weld Vertical

    4G ( Overhead Position) : Plate in a horizontal plane with the weld metal deposited from underneath.

  • WELD ORIENTATION PIPE POSITIONS(GROOVE WELDS)

    1G ( Flat Position ) : Pipe with its axis horizontal & rolled during welding so that the weld metal is deposited from the above

    2G ( Horizontal Position) : Pipe with its axis Vertical and the axis of the weld in a horizontal plane. Pipe shall not be rotated during welding

  • WELD ORIENTATION PIPE POSITIONS(GROOVE WELDS)

    5G ( Multiple Position ) : Pipe with its axis horizontal and with the welding groove in a vertical plane. Welding shall be done without rotating the pipe

    6G ( Multiple Position) : Pipe with its axis inclined at 45 degree to the horizontal . Welding shall be done without rotating pipe.

  • ANGULAR DEVIATION OF GROOVE WELDS

    An Angular deviation of +/- 15degree from the specified horizontal and vertical planes, and an angular deviation of +/- 5 degree from the specified inclined plane are permitted during welding

  • WELD ORIENTATIONPIPE POSITIONS ( FILLET WELDS)

    1F ( Flat Position) : Pipe with its axis inclined at 45 degree to horizontal and rotated during welding so that the weld metal is deposited from above and at the point of deposition the axis of the weld is horizontal & the throat vertical.

  • WELD ORIENTATIONPIPE POSITIONS ( FILLET WELDS)

    2F ( Horizontal position) : Pipe with its axis vertical so that the weld is deposited on the upper side of the horizontal surface & against the vertical surface. The axis of the weld will be horizontal & the pipe is not rotated during welding2FR ( Horizontal Position) : Pipe with its axis horizontal and the axis of the deposited weld in the vertical plane. The pipe is rotated during welding.

  • WELD ORIENTATIONPIPE POSITIONS ( FILLET WELDS)

    4F ( Overhead Position) : Pipe with its axis vertical so that the weld is deposited on the underside of the horizontal surface & against the vertical surface. The axis of the weld will be horizontal & the pipe is not to be rotated during welding

    5F ( Multiple Position) : Pipe with its axis horizontal & the axis of the deposited weld in the vertical plane. The pipe is not to be rotated during welding

  • TYPES & PURPOSES OF TESTS & EXAMINATIONSMECHANICAL TESTS

    Tension Tests : Used to determine the ultimate strength of groove welded jointsGuided Bend Tests : Used to determine the degree of soundness & ductility of groove welded jointsFillet Weld Tests : Used to determine the size, contour & degree of soundness of fillet welds.Notch Toughness Tests : Used to determine notch toughness of weldments

  • SPECIAL EXAMINATION FOR WELDERS

    RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION

    This may be substituted for mechanical testing for Groove weld performance qualifications to prove the ability of welders to make sound welds.

    VISUAL EXAMINATION

    This is used to determine that the final weld surfaces meet specified quality conditions.

    CONTENTS This shall describe all essential & non-essential variables . WPS shall reference the supporting procedure qualification record.

  • WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONS

    CHANGES TO WPS

    1) Changes may be made in non-essential variables of a WPS to suit production requirements without requalification provided such changes are documented. 2) Changes in essential variables need requalification
