Asme Sec Ix, Wps-Welding Variables and Data (Smaw-Saw-Gtaw)

The document lists welding procedure specifications (WPS) for three welding processes: shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). For each process, it identifies essential variables that must be included in a WPS as well as supplementary and non-essential variables. The variables include items like joint design, base and filler metals, positions, preheat/post-weld heat treatment temps, electrical characteristics, and welding techniques. The document also provides symbols for how variables may be modified in a WPS.
