    380/Commentary Point 2 is not presently considered inthe code. Poin 3 is partly expressed inthe thickness of material Point 4 is expressed indirectly in grouping of ste! designations. Point 5 is presently expressed either as non-low hydro: _gen welding process ors low hydrogen welding process. Point 6 is least tangible and only the general condition is recognized inthe provisions of Table 3.2 Based on these Factors, the requirements of Table 3.2 should not be considered all-encompassing, and the em- phasis on preheat and interpass temperatures as being ‘minimum temperatures assumes added validity Caution should be used in preheating quenched and tempered steel, and the heal input must not exceed the steel producer's recommendation (see $7). 3.6 Limitation of WPS Variables Although prequalified WPSs are exempt from tests, the cade does require thatthe contractor prepare a writ ten WPS to be used in fabrication, This is a record of the smterials and the welding variables which shows that the WPS meets the requirements for prequalified status. Its the intent of the code that welders, welding oper- ators, tack welders, and inspection personnel have access to the written prequalified WPS. The code requires that four critical variables be specified on the written prequal- ified WPS within limits that will insure that it provides ‘meaningful guidance to those who implement its provi sions, The allowable ranges for amperage, voltage, travel speed. and shielding gas, as applicable, are the same as those allowed for qualified WPSs in 4.7 ofthe code. The limitation imposed on theze four variables are evffi ciently conservative to permit rounding off €3.72. Width/Depth Pass Limitation. The weld nug. {get of bead shape is an important factor affecting weld ‘racking. Solidification of molten weld metal due to the ‘quenching effect of the base metal starts along the sides, of the weld metal and progresses inward until completed. ‘The last liquid metal to solidify Ties in plane through the centerline of the weld, Ifthe weld depth is greater fh width af the face, the wold eurface may soit prior to center solidification. When this occurs, the shrinkage forces acting on the still hot, semi-liquid een- or core of the weld may cause a centerline crack to
