ESSENTIAL VARIABLES 12.5.1 General A welding procedure must be re-established as a new pro- ‘cedure specification and must be completely re-qualified when any of the essential variables listed in 12.5.2 are changed. ‘Changes other than those listed in 12.5.2 may be made in the procedure without the need for requalification, provided the ‘procedure specification is revised to show the changes. 12.5.2 Changes Requiring Requalit 12.5.2.1 Welding Process A change from the welding process established in the pro- ‘cedure specification constitutes an essential variable, 12.5.2.2. Pipe Material A change in pipe material constitutes an essential variable, For the purposes of this standard, all earbon steels shall be grouped as follows: 4 Specified minimum yield strength less than or equal to 42,000 psi (290 MPa). COPYRIGHT American Petroleum Institute Eleens od by Information Handling Services », Specified minimum yield strength greater than 42,000 psi (290 MPa) but less than 65,000 psi (448 MPa). c, For carbon steels with a specified minimum yield strength greater than or equal to 65,000 psi (448 MPa), each grade shall eecive a separate qualification test. Note: The groupings specified above in 12.522 do not imply that base materials or filer metals of diferent analyses within & group ‘may be indiscriminaely substituted for a material that was used in the qualification test without consideration ofthe compatibility of the base materials and filer meals from the standpoint of metallr- sical and mechanical properties and requirements for pre-and post: heat teatmens. 12! 3 Joint Design ‘A major change in joint design (for example, from V groove to U groove) or any change beyond the range estab- lished in the procedure specification for such factors as spac- ing, root face, and angle of bevel constitutes an essential variable 1252.4 WallThickness {A change in wall thickness beyond the range established in the procedure specification constitutes an essential variable 128 5 Pipe Diameter ‘A change in pipe diameter beyond the range established in the procedure specification constitutes an essential variable 12! 6 Filler Metal ‘The following changes in filler metal constitute essential variables: a, A change from one filler-metal group to another (soe Table 1, ». For pipe materials witha specified minimum yield strength greater than or equal to 65,000 psi (448 MPa), a change in the AWS classification of te filler metal (see 5.4.2.2), ‘Changes in filler metal may be made within the groups specified in 12.5.2.2, items a and b, The compatibility of the base material and the filler metal should be considered from the standpoint of mechanical properties, 12 7 Size of Filler-Metal Wire A change in the size of the filler-metal wire constitutes an essential variable 125.28 Time Between Passes ‘An increase in the maximum time between completion of | the root bead and the start of the second bead constitutes an essential variable
