This preliminary welding procedure specification provides details for a welding qualification test using manual metal arc welding. The test will be conducted with 5.4mm thick S195T steel in the flat position. Kobelco LB52U 2.6mm diameter electrode will be used with a current of 125-145 amps, voltage of 22-24 volts, and travel speed of 130-160mm/min. Welds will be made in the flat position on butt joints with a 60-70 degree bevel and will be tested to qualify the procedure for welding plate and pipe joints from 3mm to 10.8mm thick in all positions except PG, PJ and J-L045.
