For heavy wall pipe applications we use a GTAW/SMAW combination. ER80S-D2 (root & hot passes), E10018-D2 (remainder). Preheat to 450F, maintain. PWHT at 1175F for two hours. We use a temper bead technique. Argon shielding and backing gas.
For the PQR we were limited to 22 HRC (NACE MR0175 requirement) and we had to comply with impact testing requirements (LRNA requirement). Our heat input upper limit is 30 kj/in.
Hope it's helpful.

rhoople,
4130 is a SAE designation meaning a chemical composition. A-XXX is an ASTM designation meaning, apart from chemical composition, mechanical properties and a number of other parameters such as metallographic structure (austenitic, ferritic etc.), fabrication method (electric furnace p. ex.), presentation form (plate, pipe etc.), destructive and non destructive tests to be done etc. etc.
Although there is no an exact equivalence between SAE and ASTM steels, the Unified Numbering System (UNS) has tried to introduce an equivalence as precise as possible. You'll find an UNS table on any good engineering handbook, such as Perry's Chemical Engineer Handbook.
I don't have Perry at hand in this moment, otherwise I'd have tried to help you a bit more.

A519-4130 has a UNS number of G41300. There are many other ASTM specifications that include 4130 material. Some of the AMS equivalents are: 6348, 6350, 6351, 6360, 6361, 6262, 6370, 6371...
