Dear sir.

               

                What is the voltage range qualified for the GTAW electrode 2.4mm with an amp range 120-175 and 3.2mm with an amp range 150-220?

I can’t find it in the standard code. I need this for my pWPS..

You can have the voltage range by doing mock up test. Then record the voltage reading[min,max] during the run. Make sure your welding machine ang other equipment in place.

Do you want to run pqr?
if yes, first of all, please have heat input. Heat input is expressed in the formula; H=60EI/1000S. Where H is heat input (
kJ/in or kJ/mm), E is arc voltage (volts), I is current (amps), S is travel speed (in/min or mm/min).
if you want to develop a procedure (WPS), just write what pqr said.

Dear Rahman,

Theres no rule to select the voltage.You can check the electrode manufacturers data sheet for the specific brand / size.

Dear experts plz correct me if I am wrong

Hi
 
You can use the well established formulas for Voltage calculation as follows:
 
GTAW: V = 10 + 0.04 I
SMAW: V = 20 + 0.04 I
GMAW: V = 14 + 0.05 I
 
where V = Voltage, I = Current
