SMAW & GTAW Welding Procedure Specification

This document provides specifications for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) processes. It specifies the joint design, base metals, filler metals, welding positions, preheat requirements, gas usage, electrical characteristics, welding technique, and notes. The joint is a single V butt weld in carbon steel with a 70 degree included angle. GTAW will be used for the root pass and fill passes up to 6mm thickness, with SMAW used for remaining passes and reinforcement. Preheat is required to remove moisture from the plate.
