Foreword

(This Foreword is not a part of AWS B2.1-1/8-010:2002 , Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Gas

Tungsten Arc Welding of Carbon Steel to Austenitic Stainless Steel (M-1, P-1, or S-1 to M-8, P-8, or S-8), 18 through 10

Gauge in the As-Welded Condition, with or without Backing, but is included for informational purposes only.)

The American Welding Society and the Welding Research Council have joined in a cooperative effort to generate

standard welding procedures for industry. The need for pretested welding procedures that are supported by adequate test

data and that satisfy the technical requirements for the commonly used construction codes and specifications has been

expressed by many individuals and organizations. The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test

data for assessing the properties of a weld joint.

This Standard Welding Procedure Specification is an outgrowth of the coordinated work of the Welding Procedures

Committee of WRC and the Committee on Welding Qualification of the AWS. The Welding Procedures Committee has

provided the test data documented on the Summary of Procedure Qualification Records, which are available from the

Welding Research Council.

The welding terms used in this specification shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latest

edition of AWS A3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions. Welding symbols shall be those shown in the latest edition

of AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination.

The AWS B2 Committee on Welding Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide welding standards concerning the

subject of qualification. The primary document developed by this committee is AWS B2.1, Standard for Welding Procedure

and Performance Qualification. This document established the foundation and framework for Standard Welding Procedure

Specifications.

The first two Standard Welding Procedure Specifications were published in 1990. Since then SWPSs are continuing

to be developed and published by the American Welding Society. This is the first revision of B2.1.010.

Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcomed. They should be sent to the Secretary,

AWS B2 Committee on Welding Qualification, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.

Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS)

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Carbon Steel to Austenitic Stainless Steel(M-1, P-1, or S-1 to M-8, P-8, or S-8), 18 through 10 Gauge in the As-

Welded Condition, with or without Backing

Welding Research Council1—Supporting PQR Numbers: 128A, 129A,130A, 131A, 132A, 133A, 134A, 135A, 136A, 137A, 138A, 139A

Requirements forApplication of SWPSs

Scope. The data to support this Standard Welding

Procedure Specification (SWPS) have been derivedfrom the above listed Procedure QualificationRecords (PQRs) which were reviewed and validated

under the auspices of the Welding Research Coun-cil. This SWPS is not valid using conditions and vari-

ables outside the ranges listed. The AmericanWelding Society considers that this SWPS presents

information for producing an acceptable weld usingthe conditions and variables listed. The user needsa significant knowledge of welding and accepts full

responsibility for the performance of the weld and forproviding the engineering capability, qualified per-

sonnel, and proper equipment to implement this

SWPS.Application. This SWPS is to be used only as per-mitted by the applicable fabrication document(s)

[such as code, specification, or contract docu-ment(s)]. The fabrication document(s) should spec-ify the engineering requirements such as design,

need for heat treatment, fabricating tolerances, qual-ity control, and examination and tests applicable to

the end product.

User’s Responsibility. A SWPS does not replaceor substitute for fabrication codes, specifications,

contract requirements, or capability and judgmenton the part of the user. A SWPS is to be used only

as permitted by the applicable fabrication code,specification, or contract document.

The ability to produce production welds havingproperties suitable for the application depends upon

supplementing the SWPS with appropriate perfor-mance qualification tests and sound engineering

judgment. The user is responsible for the quality andperformance of the final product in accordance with

the provisions of the fabrication document(s).

Supplementary Instructions. To adapt this SWPSto a specific application, a user may issue supple-

mentary instructions. Such instructions may consistof tighter fit-up tolerances, higher minimum preheattemperature or any other instructions necessary to

produce a weldment that meets the requirements ofthe fabrication document(s). These instructions shall

not be less restrictive than provided in the SWPS.

Safety. Safety precautions shall conform to the lat-est edition of ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding, Cutting,

and Allied Processes , published by the AmericanWelding Society.

This specification may involve hazardous mate-rials, operations, and equipment. The specification

does not purport to address all of the safety prob-lems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of

the user to establish appropriate safety and health

practices. The user should determine the applicabil-ity of any regulatory limitations prior to use.

A1. Introduction

The AWS Board of Directors has adopted a policy

whereby all official interpretations of AWS standards

will be handled in a formal manner. Under that policy, all

interpretations are made by the committee that is respon-

sible for the standard. Official communication concern-

ing an interpretation is through the AWS staff member

who works with that committee. The policy requires that

all requests for an interpretation be submitted in writing.

Such requests will be handled as expeditiously as possi-

ble, but due to the complexity of the work and the proce-

dures that must be followed, some interpretations mayrequire considerable time.

A2. Procedure

All inquiries must be directed to:

Managing Director, Technical Services

American Welding Society

550 N.W. LeJeune Road

Miami, FL 33126

All inquiries must contain the name, address, and af-filiation of the inquirer, and they must provide enough in-

formation for the committee to fully understand the point

of concern in the inquiry. Where that point is not clearly

defined, the inquiry will be returned for clarification. For

efficient handling, all inquiries should be typewritten and

should also be in the format used here.

A2.1 Scope. Each inquiry must address one single pro-

vision of the standard, unless the point of the inquiry

involves two or more interrelated provisions. That provi-

sion must be identified in the scope of the inquiry, along

with the edition of the standard that contains the provi-

sions or that the inquirer is addressing.

A2.2 Purpose of the Inquiry. The purpose of the inquiry

must be stated in this portion of the inquiry. The purpose

can be either to obtain an interpretation of a standard

requirement, or to request the revision of a particular pro-

vision in the standard.

A2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inquiry should be

concise, yet complete, to enable the committee to quickly

and fully understand the point of the inquiry. Sketchesshould be used when appropriate and all paragraphs, fig-

ures, and tables (or the Annex), which bear on the in-

quiry must be cited. If the point of the inquiry is to obtain

a revision of the standard, the inquiry must provide tech-

nical justification for that revision.

A2.4 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as a pro-

posed reply, state an interpretation of the provision that is

the point of the inquiry, or the wording for a proposed

revision, if that is what inquirer seeks.

A3. Interpretation of Provisions of theStandard

Interpretations of provisions of the standard are made

by the relevant AWS Technical Committee. The secretary

of the committee refers all inquiries to the chairman of

the particular subcommittee that has jurisdiction over the

portion of the standard addressed by the inquiry. The

subcommittee reviews the inquiry and the proposed reply

to determine what the response to the inquiry should be.

Annex A

Guidelines for Preparation of Technical Inquiriesfor AWS Technical Committees

(This Annex is not a part of AWS B2.1-1/8-010:2002 , Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Gas

AWS B2.1-1/8-010:2002Page 8 of 12


Following the subcommittee’s development of the re-

sponse, the inquiry and the response are presented to the

entire committee for review and approval. Upon approval

by the committee, the interpretation will be an official in-

terpretation of the Society, and the secretary will transmit

the response to the inquirer and to the Welding Journal

for publication.

A4. Publication of Interpretations

All official interpretations will appear in the Welding

Journal.

A5. Telephone Inquiries

Telephone inquiries to AWS Headquarters concerning

AWS standards should be limited to questions of a gen-

eral nature or to matters directly related to the use of the

standard. The Board of Directors’ policy requires that all

AWS staff members respond to a telephone request for

an official interpretation of any AWS standard with the

information that such an interpretation can be obtained

only through a written request. The Headquarters staff

cannot provide consulting services. The staff can, how-

ever, refer a caller to any of those consultants whose

names are on file at AWS Headquarters.

A6. The AWS Technical Committee

The activities of AWS Technical Committees in regard

to interpretations, are limited strictly to the interpretation

of provisions of standards prepared by the committee or

to consideration of revisions to existing provisions on the

basis of new data or technology. Neither the committee

nor the staff is in a position to offer interpretive or con-

sulting services on: (1) specific engineering problems, or(2) requirements of standards applied to fabrications out-

side the scope of the document or points not specifically

covered by the standard. In such cases, the inquirer should

seek assistance from a competent engineer experienced in

the particular field of interest.
