A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a guiding document in any welding quality management program. This workshop will explore that role and guide the participants through the process of writing and qualifying a WPS that is ASME Section IX compliant, metallurgically sound, and meaningful to the welder.
This includes live demonstrations on the welding of the coupon; test specimen location and preparation; tension, bend, and charpy testing; evaluation of the test results; and generation of the procedure qualification record(s) (PQRs) and WPS.
