Table - Qw-416 Welding Variables For Welder Performance

This document outlines welding variables and parameters for different welding processes according to ASME BPVC.IX-2015. It contains a table with 6 paragraphs that specify variables for oxyfuel gas welding, shielded metal arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding and plasma arc welding. Each paragraph lists variables related to backing, joint design, base metal, filler metals, weld deposit thickness, welding position, gas type, electrical characteristics and more. It provides a legend for symbols used and notes that flux-cored arc welding is included in gas metal arc welding parameters.
