We need to know the application, base metal, welding process, etc., but more importantly, what is the code or welding standard you are working to?

PQWPS cam only be used as welded. If PWHT is required, the procedure should be qualified.

WeldingWill, the link Lawrence gave you will work for the ASME VIII and possibly the B31.3 but I'm unsure about the API570. The SWPS are available in a variety of filler metals and with or without PWHT. If used, they need to be qualified by at least one welder running a coupon. NO DEVIATIONS from SWPS are permitted.
