Dear  Vinoth / Experts 

i had prepared preliminary WPS as per  ISO 15614-1  so please check all parameters and inputs are ok or not 

additionally , check if this cover welding positions up to 6G and steel grade S355 and thickness up to 32mm 

Appreciate your fast action and assistance

Hello, 

PG will not cover 6G, Refer attached Welding positions.

Also need to change the Current , voltage according to Consumable Manufacturer Data sheet as per the thickness of electrodes. Then heat input <=3KJ/mm.
When preparing pWPS parameters need to consider as per data sheet of consumable.

Welding position here is as per ISO 15614-1 Not AWS D1.1 as i said before and clearly mentioned in WPS and subject title 
as per ISO 15164-1

This means only PG and H-LO45 need to be separately qualified , and if qualified for any position all other position will be qualified except PG and HI-LO45 
My case here in over head welding (5G See below Sketch ) so PG will cover all position expect HI-LO45

For Current and voltage this values are taken already from actual WPS/PQR but according to AWS D1.1 as i told you i need only to convert it to BS EN 
this Preliminary WPS as you know actual values will be recorded and written during running of final PQR 
Trade name and brand is not mandatory variable here too 

Hope it is clear now 

Regards,
H.A
