Welding Procedure Qualifications<\/h3>\t\t\t(WPS) Welding Procedure Qualification is the written process of the welding to be done. This serves as a guide for the welder including the welding perimeters. <\/p>\n
Prequalified Procedure
\nPer-qualified procedures include the parameters listed in the code that are know to produce good sound welds. Theses procedures are not required to be proven by the welding company. The parameters can be recorded on the WPS and submitted as a prequalified procedure.<\/p>\n
Procedure Qualification
\nWhen the WPS contains weld parameters that are listed as prequalified in the code, the welding company must prove that the procedure will produce sound welds with the required strength.
\nProving the soundness of a weld requires destructive testing and\/or NDT to prove the weld is good.<\/p>\n
