Engineering Standards Manual - Welding Standards Manual - Volume 3 Welding Procedure Specifications

This document outlines the welding procedure specification for API 1000-12 for shielded metal arc welding of pipe. It specifies requirements for filler material, base materials, welding positions, preheat and interpass temperatures. The WPS allows for butt welding of pipe diameters from 2.375 inches to 12.75 inches in thickness from 0.187 to 0.750 inches. Welding parameters like electrode size, amperage and voltage ranges are provided. The WPS was qualified through guided bend tests, tensile tests and nick-break tests.
