[MW:12130] Hi-low into WPS

Hi dears, could you please tell me if according to API-1104, DNV, etc. the range for hi-low must be indicated in the wps and being a essential variable?
 
A client was asking about qualifying a coupon for minimum hi-low and one for the maximun hi-low in order to have a range qualified, but how does the level of hi-low affect in a welded joint?
 
Also in order to avoid hi-low levels to exceed the range we must to make sure the correct ovality of the pipes.
 
Thanks for your time and help
