QW-482 Welding Procedure Specification: Section IX, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code

This welding procedure specification outlines the parameters for a GTAW + SMAW welding process to join stainless steel piping. Key details include: - Welding stainless steel SA312 TP316L pipe with a thickness range of 1.5-11.44 mm using a GTAW process for the root pass and SMAW process for the fill and cap passes. - A V-groove joint with a 60° angle, 2 mm root face, and 3 mm root spacing will be welded in the 5G uphill position. Filler metals will be ER316L for GTAW and E316L-16 for SMAW. - Welding parameters include DCEN polarity for
