Asme Sec 9 Variables Easy Guide

This document outlines welding procedure specification (WPS) variables for three welding processes: shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), submerged arc welding (SAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). For each process, the document lists welding variables that may need to be controlled or qualified for a given WPS, including joint design, base and filler metals, welding positions, preheat and postweld heat treatment requirements, electrical characteristics, and welding techniques. Variables are classified as either essential, needing to be controlled for a given WPS, or non-essential, which may vary without impacting the WPS.
