Fillet Weld
LIMITATION AND CODE
 The code is not intended to be used for the
following:
 Steels with a minimum specified yield strength
greater than 100 ksi (690 MPa)
 Steels less than 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick.
 Pressure vessels or pressure piping
 Base metals other than carbon or low-alloy steels.
AWS D1.6, Structural Welding Code — Stainless
Steel, should be used for welding stainless steel
structures. Whenever contract documents specify
AWS D l.l for welding stainless steel, the
requirements of AWS D1.6 should apply.

PRE-QUALIFICATION OF WPS
 As per article 3 prequalification of WPS is exempt
from
 WPS qualification if following conditions are met

1. Welding Process: SMAW, SAW, GMAW (except

GMAW-S) and FCAW which conform to all of the
provisions of this section shall deemed as
prequalified.

2. Base Metal & Filler Meta Shall conform this table

PREQUALIFICATION OF WPS
4. Procedure approved by Engineer

5. Minimum Preheat & Inter-pass Temperature

Requirement- Shall be as per Table 3.2 of page 68
(AWS D1.1: 2008 Code)

5.Limitation of WPS variables

 “All prequalified WPSs to be used shall be prepared by
the manufacturer, fabricator or contractor as written
prequalified WPSs, and shall be available to those
authorized to use or examine them. The welding
parameter listed below shall be specified on the written
WPS .
 Change in these parameter , beyond those specified on
the written WPS shall be considered essential changes
and shall require a new or revised prequalified written
WPS
PREQUALIFICATION OF WPS
