Sour service qualification for WPS

Sour service qualification for WPS

Sour service qualification for WPS

(OP)
Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about qualifying a welding procedure for sour service.
I'm fairly new, but I understand that the main course of action that eliminates the need for post weld heat treatment for ASME B31.3 piping welding is the use of lower hydrogen electrode, and then doing the NACE harness survey on the metal, HAZ, and weld area of the weld.
1. Can someone help recommend electrode types that are considered low hydrogen and good enough for this? This is for carbon steel, of strenght no higher than 57k or above.
2. Also, a guideline for pre-heat treatment?

Thanks.
