QW 483 - PQR (Gtaw+smaw) 04.01.17

This document is a Procedure Qualification Record from Caltech Engineering Co. detailing the qualification of a welding procedure using GTAW and SMAW processes to weld SA106 Grade B steel pipe. It describes the joint geometry, base and filler metals, welding parameters, post-weld heat treatment if used, and results of mechanical tests including tensile, guided bend, and impact testing, which were found to meet the requirements of ASME Section IX. Tensile and bend tests showed ductile failures outside the weld, and radiography found no defects.
