Para. 7.1.2
Aramco Organization (Construction Agency - SAPMT).

Any GMAW electrode to be used for procedures with impact toughness

requirements and any SAW flux or FCAW electrode shall be restricted to
SAES-W-017,
B9 the specific brand, type, and maximum size as used for the PQR. If so
Para. 7.3.1
restricted, the brand name and type of flux or electrode shall be specified
on both the WPS and PQR.

The welding procedure specification has indicate the use of the type and SAES-W-017,
B10
brand of weldable primer if and when weldable primer is required. Para. 7.3.4

Procedures using any consumable with a "G" or "P1" designation (ASME

SEC IIC) shall be restricted to the brand and type of electrode used for SAES-W-017,
B11
the PQR. The nominal chemistry of the specific brand and type of Para. 7.3.6
electrode shall be identified on the WPS.

For welding of tanks requiring impact test, the WPS specified the range SAES-W-017,
B12
of heat input that was taken from the PQR. Para. 7.3.12.1

If multiple processes or consumables are used for welding of tanks

SAES-W-017,
B13 requiring impact test, separate impact test specimens are specified for
Para. 7.3.12.2
each process or consumable.

Hardness test was performed on the supporting PQR of the Welding

Procedure for the following installation:
a) Sour service tanks of any wall thickness.
SAES-W-017,
B14 b) For tanks requiring PWHT due to service (see 12.5).
Para. 7.4.2
(NOTE: Hardness testing is not required for sour service applications if
the weld procedure is to be used on external structural attachments only,
and the tank wall at the attachment point is at least 25 mm thick .)

Hardness testing performed on the PQR is by the Vickers test method (in SAES-W-017,
B15
accordance with ASTM E92) only, with a maximum test load of 10 kg. Para. 7.4.2 (a)

NOTE Page A1 of the WPS Package submittal shall be signed by PID for project use after verifying all items in Sec. B of
