Modify your prequalified WPSs or create new ones with this easy-to-follow guide. Need to use a different filler metal? No problem! Follow this guide and ensure you are always in compliance with AWS D1.1/D1.1M Structural Welding Code - Steel.
Welding procedures are an essential component of all welding quality standards. This publication contains 322 ready-to-use prequalified welding procedure specifications developed in conformance with AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2020 Structural Welding Code - Steel. A single prequalified welding procedure can cost between $225 - $275. If you don't take advantage of using prequalified welding procedures you may need to pay between $300 - $1200 to qualify procedures by testing. A fabrication facility requiring only 8 welding procedures could potential spend over $8000 obtaining these documents.

322 Total prequalified welding procedure specifications
Prequalified Welding Procedures must use the prequalified weld joints provided by AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2020 Structural Welding Code - Steel. The WPSs in this publication use the 14 most common joints which cover fillet welds, partial joint penetration welds and complete joint penetration welds. These welding procedures may be used with all other prequalified joints as well.
Below are the 14 joints included for every process and every filler metal diameter.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Easily create additional prequalified welding procedures
FREE GUIDE - Use with your prequalified WPSs
With the free guide on HOW TO USE, DEVELOP AND REVISE PREQUALIFIED WELDING PROCEDURES expand these 322 prequalified welding procedures into many more. Simply use additional joint configurations or different filler metal specification and shielding gases as permitted by AWS D1.1/D1.1M Structural Welding Code - Steel. All you need to do is look up details for additional joints and check to make sure the new filler metal and shielded gas is allowed for prequalification with the free easy-to-follow guide.

FAQs
My customer requires my company to have qualified welding procedures per AWS D1.1. Can I use these procedures?
Yes. These procedures are prequalified based on the requirements of Clause 5 (Prequalification) of AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2020 Structural Welding Code - Steel, and therefore exempt from testing.
Can I make changes to prequalified welding procedures?
Yes. Changes are permissible as long as they follow the requirements of AWS D1.1. Simply used the bonus guide How to Use, Develop and Revise Prequalified WPSs to make changes to your procedures.
The prequalified welding procedure I need specifies AWS Classification ER70S-6 but I need to use ER70S-3. Can I still use this procedure?
Yes. Per the requirements of AWS D1.1 for prequalified welding procedures any ER70S-X electrode is permitted for welding Group I and Group II steels. Simply follow the recommended parameters by the manufacturer of the filler metal and revise your prequalified WPS.
Why do prequalified procedures say “verify that welding parameters conform to the filler metal manufacturer’s recommendations?”
One requirement of prequalified WPS is that the welding parameters such as wire amperage and voltage are within the recommendations of the manufacturer of the filler metal you are using. Changes are you will never need to make adjustments, but you must always check.
What happens if I need to use a joint that is not included in this package?
These prequalified welding procedures cover 14 of the most common joints. However, there are more prequalified joints allowed by AWS D1.1/D1.1M Structural Welding Code - Steel. All you need to do is look up the joint you need in this code and follow the joint details and tolerances. You can create a new prequalified welding procedure using all of the other information already provided in the procedures included in this package.
The FREE BONUS: How to Use, Develop and Revise Prequalified Welding Procedures Specifications will walk you through all of this. It is simple as long as you follow this step-by-step guide.
