The use of “C” designates 100% CO2 shielding (AWS A5.32 Class SG-C). “M” designates 75-80% Ar/balance CO2 (AWS A5.32 Class
SG-AC-Y, where Y is 20 to 25). For E70C-G [E48C-G] and E70C-GS [E48C-GS], the final “C” or “M” may be omitted if these gases are
not used for classification.
b. SAE HS-1086/ASTM DS-56, Metals & Alloys in the Unified Numbering System.
c. Use of a shielding gas other than that specified will result in different weld metal composition.
d. Single values are maximums.
e. The sum of Ni, Cr, Mo, and V shall not exceed 0.50%.
f. Shielding gas shall be as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier, unless designated by the C or M suffix.
g. Composition shall be reported; the requirements are those agreed to between purchaser and supplier.
h. The composition of weld metal from this classification is not specified since electrodes of this classification are intended only for single pass
welds. Dilution, in such welds, usually is quite high.

the use of Ar/CO2 (AWS A5.32 Class SG-AC-Y) or Ar/O2 (AWS A5.32 Class SG-AO-X) shielding gas mixtures. A filler metal tested with gas
blends, such as Ar/O2, or Ar/CO2 may result in weld metal having higher strength and lower elongation. Testing with 100% argon shielding
(AWS A5.32 Class SG-A) is required when classification testing is based on GTAW only (see A4.2 in Annex A).

diameters NPS 2 (DN 50) to and including NPS 4 (DN 100). The bend specimen width may be 3/8 in. (10 mm) for pipe diameters less
than NPS 2 (DN 50) down to and including NPS 3/8 (DN 10) and as an alternative, if the pipe being tested is equal to or less than NPS 1
(DN 25) pipe size, the width of the bend specimens may be that obtained by cutting the pipe into quarter sections, less an allowance for
saw cuts or machine cutting. These specimens cut into quarter sections are not required to have one surface machined flat as shown in
QW-462.3(a). Bend specimens taken from tubing of comparable sizes may be handled in a similar manner.

GENERAL NOTE: The exemptions for mandatory PWHT are defined in Table 132.2.
NOTES:
(1) The holding temperature range is further defined in paras. 132.1.1 and 132.2.
(2) The control thickness is defined in para. 132.4.1.
(3) Cooling rate shall not be greater than 100°F (55°C) per hour in the range above 1,200°F (650°C), after which the cooling rate shall be
sufficiently rapid to prevent embrittlement.
(4) If PWHT is performed after bending, forming, or welding, it shall be within the following temperature ranges for the specific alloy, fol-
lowed by rapid cooling:
Alloys S31803 and S32205 — 1,870°F to 2,010°F (1 020°C to 1 100°C)
Alloy S32550 — 1,900°F to 2,050°F (1 040°C to 1 120°C)
Alloy S32750 — 1,880°F to 2,060°F (1 025°C to 1 125°C)
All others — 1,800°F to 1,900°F (980°C to 1 040°C)
(5) See para. 125.1.2(C) for hardness requirements for ASTM A217 Grade C12A castings after PWHT.
(6) The minimum PWHT holding temperature may be 1,325°F (720°C) for nominal material thicknesses (see para. 132.4.3) ≤1⁄2 in.
(13 mm).
(7) The Ni+Mn content of the filler metal shall not exceed 1.2% unless specified by the designer, in which case the maximum temperature
to be reached during PWHT shall be the A1 (lower transformation or lower critical temperature) of the filler metal, as determined by
analysis and calculation or by test, but not exceeding 1,470°F (800°C). If the 1,470°F (800°C) was not exceeded but the A1 of the filler
metal was exceeded or if the composition of the filler metal is unknown, the weld must be removed and replaced. It shall then be
rewelded with compliant filler metal and subjected to a compliant PWHT. If the 1,470°F (800°C) limit was exceeded, the weld and the
entire area affected by the PWHT will be removed and, if reused, shall be renormalized and tempered prior to reinstallation.

SECTION IX — INTERPRETATIONS VOL. 63
Interpretation: IX-15-02
Subject: QW-193, Tube-to-Tubesheet Mockup Test

Date Issued: September 11, 2014
File: 14-497
Question: Per QW-193.1, is the tubesheet mockup thickness required to be 2 in. (50 mm) for qualification?
Reply: The tubesheet mockup thickness is not required to be thicker than the production tubesheet nor greater than 2
in. (50 mm) in thickness.
Subject: QW-403.6, Range Thickness

File: 14-537
Question: A welding procedure with impact testing was qualified using a test coupon of 6 mm. Does this qualify for 3
mm to 12 mm thickness, since the 6 mm thickness is less than 1/4 in. (6.35 mm)?
Reply: No; see Nonmandatory Appendix G.
Subject: QW-194, Visual Examination — Performance
File: 14-558
Background: A performance coupon is welded and visual inspection reveals significant face and root reinforcement.
Question: Does Section IX state limits on face or root reinforcement for groove weld coupons used for welder
qualification?
Reply: No, Section IX establishes minimum acceptance criteria for the qualification of welding personnel.
Subject: QW-451.1
File: 14-786
Background: One PQR was qualified with GTAW on a test plate thickness of 3/8 in. (0.375 in.). A second PQR was qual-
ified with SMAW on a test plate thickness of 3/4 in. (0.75 in.).
Question: Can a WPS supported by both PQRs be qualified for 1/16 in. (0.0625 in.) to 3/4 in. (0.75 in.) without the mini-
mum thickness applicable to the SMAW process being restricted to 3/16 in. (0.1875 in.) per QW-451.1?
