SWPS Inquiry
SWPS Inquiry
(OP)
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing B2.1-8-212: 2001 Standard Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Austenitic Stainless Steel (M-8/P-8/S-8, Group 1), 1⁄16 through 1-1⁄2 inch Thick, ER3XX, As-Welded Condition, Primarily Pipe Applications to qualify manual welders and semi-automatic (orbital) operators. However, before I do so, I was hoping someone could clarify if autogenous (fusion) SWPSs were present in this standard? If not, could someone point me towards such a standard - if it exist. Thank you for your time.

and ask for an abstract. They might be able to assist you directly as well.
RE: SWPS Inquiry
The standard does not make explicit mention of autogeneous welding, but that does not mean it is not applicable.
RE: SWPS Inquiry
I can't seem to get much more information about the SWPSs unless I become a member of theis organization (understandable), but what is the take on using an SWPS if it is not explicitly developed by ASME/AWS? I do not know if they are developed in accordance to ASME/AWS, but I would assume they would be. Thoughts anyone?
