WPS for cladded pipes

SHAH Gas Development Pipeline welding of CRA clad pipes Location: Habshan, Abu Dhabi Welding of CRA clad steels may be performed in one of two sequences. When the back side of the weld is accessible, a carbon steel to carbon steel weld shall be made first with carbon steel weld materials. Then the back side of the weld shall be weld overlayed with Corrosion Resistant Alloy in compliance with Weld Overlay Specification RP-710-95-003. When the back side of the weld is inaccessible, the entire weld shall be made from one side using weld materials of UNS N06625 composition such as ERNiCrMo-3 and ENiCrMo-3 welding materials. When the back side of the weld is inaccessible, the root pass shall be made with the Gas Tungsten Arc welding process including back purging with inert gas. Back purging shall be maintained through completion of the root pass and hot pass or until 6 mm weld thickness is deposited, whichever is greater.
