This document provides a welding procedure specification for manual shielded metal arc welding of butt joints in pipe using E7016-1 and E7018-1 electrodes. The base material is ASTM A106 Grade B pipe. The welding process will be used to join pipes with diameters of 2 inches or greater. Welding will be performed in all positions using multiple passes with an uphill progression. Preheating is not required. Testing has qualified the procedure for pipe thicknesses from 4.8 to 36.52 mm.
