This specification provides requirements for the qualification ofwelding procedures. It alsoprovides requirements for the performance qualification of welders andwelding operators.

This specification is intended for use where referenced by a productor fabrication code,specification, contract document, or internal documents such asquality control or qualityassurance manuals. The requirements imposed by the ReferencingDocument (see 1.3.2 SupplementalDefinitions) supersede the requirements of this specification.

This specification is intended for use with the following weldingprocesses:

OFW = Oxyfuel Gas Welding

SMAW = Shielded Metal Arc Welding

GTAW = Gas Tungsten Arc Welding

SAW = Submerged Arc Welding

GMAW = Gas Metal Arc Welding

FCAW = Flux Cored Arc Welding

PAW = Plasma Arc Welding

ESW = Electroslag Welding

EGW = Electrogas Welding

EBW = Electron Beam Welding

LBW = Laser Beam Welding

SW = Stud Arc Welding

Appropriate metric conversions are included for all dimensions.However, the customary units arestandard units, and the metric units are for information only. It isintended that inspection ofqualification test welds is to be accepted based on the U.S. customarydimensions, not on themetric conversion values of these dimensions.
