This document provides a welding procedure specification (WPS) for manual shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) of carbon steel pipes with a wall thickness between 5-40mm. The base metal is ASTM A516 Grade 70 steel. Filler metals used are E7018-1 electrodes in sizes 2.5mm and 3.2mm. Welding is approved for all positions using direct current electrode positive polarity. Preheating is required from 200-250°C with interpass temperatures below 300°C. Welding parameters like current, voltage and travel speed are specified for each weld layer. Quality control sign off is also included.
