AWS B2.1-1-206 – Standard WPS for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-1/P-1/S-1, Group 1 or 2), 1/8 through 1 1/2" Thick, E6010 (Vertical Downhill), Followed by E7018 (Vertical Uphill) As-Welded or PWHT Condition, Primarily Pipe Applications

AWS B2.1-1-206:2019 contains the essential welding variables for carbon steel in the thickness range of 1/8 inch [3 mm] through 1-1/2 inch [38 mm], using manual shielded metal arc welding with E6010 (vertical downhill) followed by E7018 (vertical uphill). It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for fillet and groove welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for pipe applications.
