LEARNING 1.Discuss the term welding procedure specification, welding procedure

OBJECTIVES qualification, and welding performance qualification.

IMPORTANT: Do not write anything on this material. Write your answers on the learner’s activity and
assessment sheets provided separately.

UNDERSTAND
A welded construction applies, quality prescriptions concerning design production and use.
Therefore, clients in chemical industry claims approved welding procedures. Welding requires skill.
Determining "how to weld" requires knowledge regarding the materials being welded and welding
process, among numerous other factors. Because of huge number of variables involved, the
knowledge of the welding engineer and the skill of the welder need to be validated by a s eries of
tests. This information is documented Section IX of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
(ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), on: a) Welding Procedure Specification (WPS); b)
Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR); and Welding Performance Qualification (WPQ).

Welding Procedure Specification

The Welding Procedure Specification is a required document for all code welding. Your
customer either directly or indirectly specifies to what code your company must qualify. The WPS
outlines all of the parameters required to perform your welding operation.
In short the WPS is the recipe for your welding operation . It describes the welding process or
processes used, the base materials used, the joint design and geometry, gases and flow rates,
welding position and includes all of the process conditions and variables. Each code has a
recommended format.

Welding Procedure Qualification Record

The Welding Procedure Qualification Record is the document that qualifies the Welding
Procedure Specification. In order to qualify your WPS, a procedure qualification plate is welded the
code requirements. The actual test parameters are recorded at the time of welding to ensure the
WPS was being followed. Generally any supporting documentation, such as material specifications,
electrode specifications and shielding gas specifications, are included as part of the WPQR. All
required testing, both non-destructive and destructive, is recorded as well. These tests typically

2 |P a g e
include X-Ray examinations, ultrasonic examinations, tensile testing, bend testing and when required
impact testing.

The WPQR combines all of the information of the WPS and adds the test results to provide a
complete document that certifies the welding specification. This document is also required by all
codes
Welder Performance Qualification

A Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) is a test certificate that shows whether a welder
possesses the necessary experience and knowledge to perform the specifications of a particular weld
procedure. Manufacturing Execution System (MES) conducts destructive and non-destructive tests
on a weld coupon provided by the welder to determine whether the welder is capable of producing a
good weld quality using the welding processes, materials and prescribed procedures. Upon passing
the procedure requirements, a welder is given a qualification record (WPQR) specific to the
procedure weld variables.
