Accepted Answer

To make a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) with reference to codes, one must follow the guidelines provided by the relevant welding codes and standards.

Understand the requirements of the specific welding code being used (e.g. AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX)
Identify the essential variables for the welding process (e.g. material type, thickness, welding position)
Select the appropriate welding process, filler metal, preheat and interpass temperature based on the code requirements
Document all the necessary details in the WPS including welding parameters, joint design, and post-weld heat treatment if required
Ensure that the WPS is reviewed and approved by a qualified welding engineer or inspector
