Qualification of Welding Procedures

Ensuring a qualified Welding Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) can be complex—but we take care of everything for you! From start to finish, our team handles the entire process, ensuring compliance with ASME, AWS, ISO, and other industry standards.

We prepare a preliminary Welding Procedure Specification (pWPS) tailored to your needs, covering all essential parameters like material type, welding process, and joint design.

We provide detailed instructions on test coupon dimensions, materials, and joint configurations, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

We assist in setting up and monitoring the welding process, ensuring it follows the specified WPS parameters for accurate and repeatable results. Our team also provides support & guidance to welders to perform welding strictly per the pWPS, ensuring accurate heat input, travel speed, and shielding gas flow.

We guide you in conducting a thorough visual inspection, helping identify potential defects like cracks, porosity, and incomplete fusion.

 We advise on appropriate NDT methods like radiographic (RT), ultrasonic (UT), magnetic particle (MT), or liquid penetrant (PT) testing to detect any internal or surface defects.

We provide expert recommendations on tensile, bend, impact, and hardness testing, ensuring your weld meets strength and durability requirements as per international cods & specifications such as ASME Section IX, IOGP, ISO, AWS, API etc.  We will also ensure that your client requirements shall also be take care during mechanical testing.

For applications involving corrosive environments, we help determine the required corrosion testing methods, such as:
✔ Pitting Resistance Test – Evaluates localized corrosion resistance.
✔ Intergranular Corrosion Test (IGC) – Assesses susceptibility to intergranular attack.
✔ Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) Testing – Essential for sour service applications.

We ensure all test results, parameters, and compliance details are properly recorded in a well-structured PQR report that meets industry and client requirements. Our support helps streamline the review process, ensuring accuracy and completeness 

Getting final approval for your PQR is critical, and we ensure a smooth process by:
✔ Reviewing All Qualification Data – We verify that all mechanical and NDT test results, welding parameters, and procedure details comply with applicable standards.
✔ Addressing Client & Regulatory Requirements – We ensure the PQR meets specific project or industry requirements, avoiding potential rejections or delays.
✔ Providing Technical Justifications – If any concerns arise, we support you in preparing justifications, clarifications, or additional documentation needed for approval.
✔ Facilitating Communication with Approving Authorities – We guide you in effectively presenting your PQR to inspection bodies, auditors, or client representatives.
✔ Ensuring a Successful Qualification – Our expertise helps eliminate uncertainties, reducing rework and ensuring your PQR gains final approval without unnecessary delays.
