Statement on the Use of American Welding Society Standards
All standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the American
Welding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or
made part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmen-
tal bodies, their provisions carry the fu ll legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards
must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisd.iction before they can become a part of those laws and
regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the
AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS stand-
ard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.
AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that brings together
volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the process and
establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify
the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its stand.ards.
AWS disclaims liability for any inju1y to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether special,
indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance on this
standard. AWS also makes no guarantee or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information published herein.
In issuing and. making this standard available, AWS is neither undertaking to render professional or other services for or
on behalf of any person or entity, nor is AWS ttndertaking to perform any duty owed by any person or entity to someone
else. Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek the
advice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances. It is
assumed that the use of this standard and its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and competent personnel.
This standard may be revised, corrected through publication of amend.ments or errata, or supplemented by publication of
addenda. Information on the latest editions of AWS standards inclt1d.i ng amendments, errata, and add.end.a is posted on
the AWS web page (www.aws.org). Users should ensure that they have the appropriate edition, amendments, errata, and
addenda.
Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard accept any
and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringement of any
patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.
AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.
Official interpretations of any of the technical reqt1irements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,
in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,
Attention: Managing Director, Standards Development (seeAnnexA). With regard to technical inquiries made concerning
AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered. These opinions are offered solely as a convenience to
users of this standard, and they do not constitute professional advice. Such opinions represent only the personal opinions
of the particular individuals giving them. These individuals do not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions
constitute official or unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS. In add.ition, oral opinions are informal and should not
be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.
This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance Qualification.
It must be reviewed eve1y five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recom-
mendations, additions, or d.eletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this stand.ard are requested and
should be addressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS B2 Committee
on Procedure and Performance Qualification and the author ofthe comments will be informed of the Committee's response
to the comments. Guests are invited to attend all meetings of the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance

Foreword
This foreword is not part of this standard but is included for informational purposes only.
The American Welding Society generates Standard Welding Procedure Specifications (SWPSs) for industry through the
cooperative efforts of the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance Qualification, the AWS B2D Subcommittee
on Standard Welding Procedure Specifications, and the AWS B2G Subcommittee on Procedure Qualification Records.
The Welding Procedures Committee (WPC) of the Welding Research Council (WRC) originally managed the procedure
qualification records in suppo1t of AWS Standard Welding Procedure Specifications and was formally transitioned to the
AWS B2G Subcommittee on Proced.ure Qualification Records in 2019.
The need for pretested welding procedures that are supported by adequate test data and that satisfy the technical require-
ments for the commonly used construction codes and specifications has been expressed by many individuals and organi-
zations. The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test data for assessing the properties of a weld
joint.
This Standard Welding Procedure Specification is an outgrowth of the coordinated work oftheAWS B2G Subcommittee
on Procedure Qualification Records and the AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance Qualification. The AWS
B2G Subcommittee on Procedure Qualification Records has provided the data documented on the Summary of Procedure
Qualification Records .
The welding terms used in this specification shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latest edi-
tion of AWS A3 .0M/A3 .0, Standard Welding Terms and D~finitions, Including Terms for Adhesive Bonding, Brazing,
Soldering, Thermal Cutting, and Thermal Spraying. Welding symbols shall be those shown in the latest edition of AWS
A2.4, Standard Symbols.for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination.
The AWS B2 Committee on Procedure and Performance Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide welding standards
concerning the subject of qualification. The primaiy document developed. by this committee is AWS B2.1 /B2.1M,
Specification _for Welding Procedure and Per_formance Qualification. This docu.m ent established the foundation and
framework for Standard Welding Procedure Specifications (SWPSs). The first two SWPSs were published in 1990. Since
then SWPSs are continuing to be developed and published by the American Welding Society.
The fo llowing changes are included in this revision of the previous edition:
The format has been updated, column titles were added and current heading terminology incorporated, the safety clause
was revised, a standard units of measure clause was added, the metric table was deleted, conversions were updated and
added to the text and joint details, existing footnotes were updated and new footnotes were added, introductory text to
joint details was updated, and an annex on requesting an official interpretation was included.
A vertical line in the margin or underlined text in clauses, tables, or figures indicates an editorial or technical change from
the previous edition.
Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this stand.ard are welcome. They should be sent to the Secretary of the
AWS B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and. Performance Qualification, American Welding Society, 8669 NW 3 6 St.,
# 130, Miami, FL, 33166.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-1/P-1, Group 1 or 2), 3/16
inch [5 mm] through 3/4 inch [19 mm] Thick, E7016 and E7018, in the
As-Welded Condition, Primarily Plate and Structural Applications
Supporting PQR Numbers: 001A, 002A
Requirements for Application of SWPSs
Scope. The d.a ta to support this Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) have been derived from the above
listed Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs), which were reviewed and validated under the auspices of the AWS B2G
Subcommittee on Procedure Qualification Records. This SWPS is not valid using conditions and variables outside the
ranges listed. The American Welding Society consid.ers that this SWPS presents information for producing an acceptable
weld using the conditions and variables listed. The user needs a significant knowledge of welding and accepts full respon-
sibility for the performance of the weld and for providing the engineering capability, qualified personnel, and proper
equipment to implement this SWPS.
Application. This SWPS is to be used only as permitted by AWS B2.1 /B2.1M, Spec(ficationfor Welding Procedure and
Peiformance Qualification, and the applicable fabrication document(s) [such as code, specification, or contract
document(s)]. The fabrication document(s) should specify the engineering requirements such as design, need for heat
treatment, fabricating tolerances, quality control, and examination and tests applicable to the end product.
User's Responsibility. A SWPS does not replace or substitute for fabrication codes, specifications, contract requirements,
or capability and judgment on the part of the user. A SWPS is to be used only as permitted by the applicable fabrication
code, specification, or contract document. The ability to prod.u ce production welds having properties suitable for the
application depends upon supplementing the SWPS with appropriate performance qualification tests and sound. engineer-
ing judgment. The user is responsible for the quality and performance of the final product in accordance with the provi-
sions of the fabrication document(s).
Supplementary Instructions. To adapt this SWPS to a specific application, a user may issue supplementa1y instrt1ctions.
Such instructions may consist of tighter fit-up tolerances, higher minimum preheat temperature or any other instructions
necessary to produce a weldment that meets the requirements of the fabrication document(s). These instructions shall not
be less restrictive than provided in the SWPS.
Standard Units of Measure. This standard makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of
Units (SI). The latter are shown within brackets ([ ]) or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. The measurements
may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently.
Safety. Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope of this standard and therefore are not addressed herein.
Safety and health information is available from the fo llowing sources:
American Welding Society:
(1) ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes

Annex A (Informative)
Requesting an Official Interpretation on
an AWS Standard
This annex is not part of this standard but is included for informational purposes only.
Al. Introduction
The following procedures are here to assist standard users in submitting successful requests for official interpretations to
AWS standards. Requests from the general public submitted to AWS staff or committee members that do not follow these
rules may be returned to the sender unanswered. AWS reserves the right to decline answering specific requests; if AWS
declines a request, AWS will provide the reason to the individual why the request was declined.
A2. Limitations
The activities ofAWS technical committees regarding interpretations are limited strictly to the interpretation of provisions
of standards prepared by the committees. Neither AWS staff nor the committees are in a position to offer interpretive or
consulting services on (1) specific engineering problems, (2) requirements of standards applied to fabrications outside
the scope of the document, or (3) points not specifically covered by the standard. In such cases, the inquirer should seek
assistance from a competent engineer experienced in the particular field of interest.
A3. General Procedure for all Requests

A3.1 Submission. All requests shall be sent to the Managing Director, AWS Standards Development. For efficient han-
dling, it is preferred that all requests should be submitted electronically through stand.ards@aws.org. Alternatively,
requests may be mailed to:
Managing Director
Standards Development
American Welding Society
8669 NW 36 St,# 130
Miami, FL 33166
A3.2 Contact Information. All inquiries shall contain the name, address, email, phone number, and employer of the
. .
1nqu1rer.
A3.3 Scope. Each inquiry shall address one single provision of the standard unless the issue in question involves two or
more interrelated provisions. The provision(s) shall be identified in the scope of the request along with the edition of the
standard (e.g., Dl.1:2006) that contains the provision(s) the inquirer is addressing.
A3.4 Question(s). All requests shall be stated in the form of a question that can be answered "yes" or "no" . The request
shall be concise, yet complete enough to enable the committee to understand the point of the issue in question. When the
point is not clearly defined, the request will be returned for clarification. Sketches should be used whenever appropriate,
and all paragraphs, figures, and tables (or annexes) that bear on the issue in question shall be cited.
A3.5 Proposed Answer(s). The inquirer shall provide proposed answer(s) to their own question(s).
AWS B2.1-1-001:2020
Page 8 of 16
A3.6 Background. Add.itional information on the topic may be provided but is not necessary. The question(s) and
proposed answer(s) above shall stand on their own without the need for additional background information.
A4. AWS Policy on Interpretations

The American Weld.ing Society (AWS) Board of Directors has adopted a policy whereby all official interpretations of
AWS standards are handled in a formal manner. Under this policy, all official interpretations are approved by the technical
committee that is responsible for the standard. Communication concerning an official interpretation is directed through
the AWS staff member who works with that technical committee. The policy requires that all requests for an official inter-
pretation be submitted in writing. Such requests will be handled as expeditiously as possible, but due to the procedures
that must be followed, some requests for an official interpretation may take considerable time to complete.
AS. AWS Response to Requests

Upon approval by the committee, the interpretation is an official interpretation of the Society, and AWS shall transmit the
response to the inquirer, publish it in the Welding Journal, and post it on the AWS website.
A6. Telephone Inquiries
