This document provides specifications for welding steel pipe and fittings using the SMAW (shielded metal arc welding) process. It specifies details such as the pipe material, dimensions, joint design, filler metals, welding positions, and test procedures and results. The welding will be done manually with E7016 root pass and E7018 for filler and cap passes. Welding parameters like voltage, current, speed of travel and preheat/stress relief requirements are provided. Testing on 3/23/2009 showed the weld met the minimum tensile strength requirements and was qualified.
