This document provides a suggested format for a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS). The WPS specifies details about the welding process, base metals, filler metals, joint design, positions, preheat and post weld heat treatment requirements, gas and electrical characteristics, and welding technique. It includes tables to specify the weld layers, filler metal type, current type and range, voltage range, travel speed, and other details for each weld pass.
