A2V2D5 - Condition 17 - Field Joining Program - Appendix B3 - Welding Procedure Specifications - BPP-11-WP5

This document provides a welding procedure specification for fillet welding branch connections on new construction and non-product pipelines using shielded metal arc welding. It specifies the base materials as carbon steel pipe grades X60 to Grade B with wall thicknesses from 1.5 to 9.03 mm. The joint geometry is a single V-bevel butt joint with a root face of 1 to 2.5 mm and root gap of 1.5 to 3 mm. Welding will use E6010, E8010-P1 and E8018-C3 electrodes in sizes from 2.4 to 3.2 mm. Welding parameters, including voltage, current, travel speed and heat input are provided. Preheat and inter
