Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Carbon Steel (M-1/P-1, Group 1 or 2), 3/16 inch [5 mm] through 3/4 inch [19 mm] Thick, E7016 and E7018, in the As-Welded Condition, Primarily Plate and Structural Applications
This standard contains the essential welding variables for carbon steel plate and pipe in the thickness range of 3/16 inch [5 mm] through 3/4 inch [19 mm], using manual shielded metal arc welding. It cites the base metals and operating conditions necessary to make the weldment, the filler metal specifications, and the allowable joint designs for fillet and groove welds. This SWPS was developed primarily for plate and structural applications.
