Welding Procedure Specification Structural 3G PDF

This welding procedure specification outlines requirements for manual shielded metal arc welding of a 3G butt joint configuration using E7018 electrodes. Key details include: - Welding A36 steel 7.5-37.5mm thick in the 3G position - Using E7018 electrodes from 3.2-4.0mm diameter with DC reverse polarity at 70-190 amps - Stringer bead for the root pass, weave beads for the fill and cap passes - 250C maximum interpass temperature with 5 minutes between passes
