WPS Format Sample

This document provides a welding procedure specification (WPS) for a single V-groove joint on ASTM A36 steel plates from 9.5 to 19.1 mm thick using SMAW with E7018 electrodes. The WPS specifies preheating to a minimum of 100°C, an interpass temperature below 250°C, a 4G welding position with uphill progression, and grinding or power brushing for cleaning between passes. The technique involves stringing beads for the root pass and weaving fills and caps.
