This document provides a welding procedure specification for joining pipes made of various steel alloys using gas tungsten arc welding. It specifies the joint design, base metals, filler metal, welding positions, preheat and interpass temperatures, shielding gas, welding parameters, and inspection requirements. The procedure is to be used for pipes ranging from 1.6mm to 14.22mm in thickness with ERNiCr-3 filler metal in the vertical uphill position. Root and hot passes will use purging, and the weld will be inspected for defects prior to post-weld heat treatment.
