A General requirements
All weld documents shall be submitted to SA for technical approval

prior to start of work (per SAEP-352). The Welding documents
SAES-W-010,
include the Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Qualification
A1 Section 7.1.1 &
Test Records (PQR), Weld Description & Weld Map (Attachment 3)
7.1.9
See Attachment 1.
Originals of all test records, mill certificates, etc. including records

SAES-W-010,
A2 from independent test laboratory shall be made available for review
Para. 7.1.11
by Saudi Aramco upon request.
WPSs, PQRs, Weld Maps, & Weld Descriptions shall be available at SAES-W-010,
A3
work site for verification at any time by authorized SA inspector. Para. 7.1.8
For shop fabrication In-Kingdom and all field fabrication and

installation, the Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) and
Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs) shall be prepared as per
SAES-W-010,
A4 format of ASME Section IX (NMA App. B). See Attachment 2.
Para. 7.1.3
Commentary Note: Standardized PQR forms from an approved
independent test laboratory are acceptable. Equivalent WPS form
from a contractor may be acceptable if approved by CSD.
All corrosion-resistant weld overlays, including clad restoration, shall

conform with ASME SEC VIII reqts (Div. 1 or Div. 2) & W-014. SAES-W-014,
A5
Commentary Note: Refer to ASME SEC VIII D1, Part UCL and Para. 4.1
ASME SEC VIII D2, Article F-5 for specific requirements.
Repairs to integrally clad material shall not be done without the

SAES-W-014,
A6 specific approval of CSD. Any weld repairs to the cladding shall
Para. 4.7
meet the requirements for weld overlays.
The minimum deposit thickness shall be specified in the engineering

SAES-W-014,
A7 design but shall not be less than 3 mm for corrosion-resistant
Para. 4.2
overlays.
The direction of overlay deposition shall be circumferential unless

otherwise approved by CSD.
SAES-W-014,
A8 Commentary Note: Some components and geometries, such as
Para. 4.3
small diameter nozzles, or special applications may not permit
welding in a circumferential direction.
Single layer overlays require prior approval by CSD. Additional

SAES-W-014,
A9 qualification and production tests may be required, as determined by
Para. 4.9
CSD.
Ferrite measurements shall be performed in accordance with AWS SAES-W-014,

B Overlay Procedure Qualification Requirements
All weld overlays shall be qualified in accordance with ASME SEC SAES-W-014,
B1
IX. Para. 5.1
The WPS shall indicate the minimum deposit thickness qualified and
the minimum number of layers required. The number of layers used
SAES-W-014,
B2 for the Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) shall be recorded and
Para. 5.2
shall be the minimum number of layers specified on the WPS and
used in production.
For all processes and all layers, the heat input specified on the WPS
SAES-W-014,
B3 shall not exceed the heat input recorded on the PQR by more than
Para. 5.3
10%.
For the SAW and Electro-slag processes, any change in the flux
SAES-W-014,
B4 brand, trade name, or designation shall be considered an essential
Para. 5.4
variable.
For single layer weld overlays, any decrease in overlap (As stated in
PQR) between adjacent beads needs requalification. SAES-W-014,
B5
Note: The overlap or spacing must be measured and recorded on Para. 5.5
the PQR and specified on the WPS.
The following elements shall be analyzed and specified for the

deposit chemistry for all stainless steel and nickel-based alloy weld
metal overlays:
SAES-W-014,
B6 C, Ni, Cr, Cu, Mo, Mn, Fe, plus any other significant elements that
Para. 5.6
are intentionally added to either the base metal or filler metal (e.g.,
Nb or Ti for stabilized stainless steel grades).
The chemistry of the overlay shall be measured at 1.5 mm below the

minimum specified overlay thickness. This is regardless of the SAES-W-014,
B7
thickness of the as-welded deposited thickness in the procedure Para. 5.7
qualification.
Inconel Alloy N06625 overlays shall have a maximum iron content of

SAES-W-014,
B8 10%.
Para. 5.7
Monel overlays shall have a maximum iron content of 4.5%.
The chemical composition of weld deposit shall be within the range

SAES-W-014,
B9 specified for the UNS number of the CRA clad material except for
Para. 5.8
the iron.
For PMI, the chemistry shall be checked on the final finished surface
of the production weld overlay.
SAES-W-014,
B10 Commentary Note:
Para. 5.9
Note: For overlay materials other than those listed above, the
elements to be analyzed shall be specified by CSD.
For austenitic stainless steel weld overlays, the ferrite content shall
SAES-W-014,
B11 be checked in the as-welded condition and shall be between 3 and
Para. 5.10
10 FN.
PQR hardness testing is required for weld overlays in:

a) Hydrogen service components of any wall thickness.
b) Sour service components of any wall thickness. SAES-W-014,
B12
c) For pressure vessels in any service if the base metal wall Para. 5.11
thickness is greater than 38 mm.

No.
Hardness testing shall be in accordance with Standard Drawing AB-
036386. The maximum allowable hardness is VHN 250 for the base
metal and HAZ of all overlays and for the weld metal deposit of
austenitic stainless steel corrosion-resistant overlays.
Note: The hardnesses for the weld deposit of hardfacing overlays
SAES-W-014,
B13 and nickel-based corrosion-resistant overlays will depend on the
overlay material and the application. For sour service applications, Para. 5.11
NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 requirements for the weld metal overlay
must be met.
Hydrogen disbonding tests are additionally required to qualify weld

overlay procedures when both the design temperature exceeds
SAES-W-014,
B14 350°C and the hydrogen partial pressure exceeds 5 MPa. (Also see
Para. 7.1.1
