To adapt this SWPS to a specific application, a user may issue supplementary instructions. The user is responsible for the quality and performance of the final product in accordance with the provisions of the fabrication document(s). The ability to produce production welds having properties suitable for the application depends upon supplementing the SWPS with appropriate performance qualification tests and sound engineering judgment. An SWPS is to be used only as permitted by the applicable fabrication code, specification, or contract document.

An SWPS does not replace or substitute for fabrication codes, specifications, contract requirements, or capability and judgment on the part of the user.

’ The fabrication document(s) should spec- ify the engineering requirements such as design, need for heat treatment, fabricating tolerances, qual- ity control, and examination and tests applicable to the end product. This SWPS is to be used only as per- mitted by the applicable fabrication document(s). The user needs a significant knowledge of welding and accepts full responsibility for the performance of the weld and for providing the engineering capability, qualified per- sonnel, and proper equipment to implement this SWPS. The American Welding Society considers that this SWPS presents information for producing an acceptable weld using the conditions and variables listed. This SWPS is not valid using conditions and vari- ables outside the ranges listed. The data to support this Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) have been derived from the above listed Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) which were reviewed and validated under the auspices of the Welding Research Coun- cil.
