WPS and WPQR Creation and Certification

WPS Creation:

AWS D1.1-2020

No matter what you are welding, you should have a WPS for the process being utilized and for each weld joint. This not only will keep you in compliance with welding codes, but it will make life a whole lot easier for the welder. Our WPS’s contain the critical information needed to produce quality welds which leads to better productivity and a safer job site. Our welding consultant can also review your current WPS’s for compliance with the applicable codes.

We can also create a library of AWS prequalified WPS’s for you to have on hand. These can be used in the shop and in the field. A completely certified WPS library is recommended in the event that they are requested by inspectors or engineers or even in submittals for projects. It shows that you are a professional facility that cares about quality and compliance to code.

Welder Certifications:

Even if your facility is not accredited by AISC, having certified welders is required by code. Employing AWS certified welders is something that would absolutely make your competitors jealous. Why? Because certified welders have displayed that they know how to read and understand a WPS and they produce quality work on a level those companies would be envious of!

We offer welder performance qualification (WPQR) tests to get your welders certified and in compliance with applicable codes. Tests would be run at your facility and we’ll be more than happy to work with you to ensure that your welders get the certifications they need and that they understand the process that ultimately leads to their certification.

WPQR’s, like weld procedures, are very useful to possess in the event that you need to submit them for projects or upon request of an inspector or engineer. Don’t find yourself scrambling at the last minute. Get your welders certified today!
