Initial Cleaning:With wire brush or grinding clean 25 mm on both the sides of weld joint prior to welding, as required.

Inter pass cleaning: By grinding or wire brush clean all oxide, slag and other foreign particle after every inter pass welding, as required.

Use alumina or silicon carbide wheel for grinding and stainless steel wire brush for cleaning that is un used previously on carbon or low alloy
steel.

When welding is completed, remove all spatter, slag and/or projection.

We certify that the statements in this record are correct and that the test welds were prepared, welded, and tested in accordance with the

Notes
Material condition: Welding shall not be performed when the material surface is wet or damp. Work must be free from oxides, dirt, oil and
moisture.

Autogenous welding is not allowed. Filler metal is required for this welding process.

Shielding gases used in welding processes meet industry requirements for welding gas purity and moisture content. (Requirements for welding
gas with higher purity and lower moisture content can be accommodated by special request.)

No supplementary filler metal, alloying elements, retainers or consumable inserts used with this procedure.

No peening will be done by this process.

Weld Maps are submitted with equipment drawings specifying where this WPS will be applied. Refer to the supplied filler metal for joint types
and weld information as it will be applied to the equipment for the order.

Table-1: per ASME Section IX QW-404.4 and QW-404.5 the following filler base metal application will be allowed.
