Category: WPS/PQR

Developing a WPS requires extensive knowledge of the TIG welding procedures, the orbital equipment, the material as well as the welding processes. There is no room for error since a WPS describes by its definition a certified weld that is to be applied in serial welding.

In the field of welding, the abbreviations WPS and WPQR form the base of every weld. They describe technical procedures that comply with the very strict standards and regulations of welding.

Depending on the industry and application, a weld needs to be of a certain quality. This quality is generally defined by different standards and regulations.

In our last article, we explained the relevance of welding data documentation.

As you know, a good welder does not necessarily need to analyze all the characteristics that influence the weld to know if the result is in accordance with the customer's specifications or not. He knows his settings by heart and knows when an error occurs in the process.

Whether working in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, nuclear, oil and gas or even the semiconductor industry, each welding procedure must be qualified/certified in order to guarantee the quality and reliability of each weld.
