AWS B2.1-5A-224 – Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding followed by Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Chromium-Molybdenum Steel (M-5A/P-5A), 1/8 through 1/2 in. Thick, As-Welded Condition; 1/8 through 1-1/2 in. Thick, PWHT Condition, ER90S-B3 and E9018-B3, Primarily Pipe Applic

This standard contains the essential welding variables for chromium-molybdenum steel in the thickness range of 1/8through 1/2 in. in the as-welded condition; or 1/8 through 1-1/2 in. in the postweld heat treated (PWHT) condition, usingmanual gas tungsten arc welding followed by manual shielded arc welding. It cites the base metals and operating conditionsnecessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for groove welds.This standard welding procedure specification (SWPS) was developed primarily for pipe applications.
