WPS/PQR
Welder/ Welding Operator Performance Test
Prior to welding fabrication, it is need to develop proper WPS/PQR and make Welder/ Welding operator's qualification test to be performed in accordance with Code & Standards and client's requirements.
Welders and Welding operators who will being assigned to the construction of pressure vessel, bridge, building structure are required to pass performance test based on client specification, construction code and standards, statutory regulation etc.
※ Range of Code / Standard / Regulations
ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, AWS D1.5, EN, ISO, AISC, CSA(Canadian Standards Association) W47.1 etc.
※ WPS/PQR or Welder qualification Process

2) Witness welder / welding performance test – Check candidate's ID, Base metal, thickness, welding position etc base of applicable code.
3) Verify NDE or Mechanical test results.
4) Issue of WPS/PQR or Welder's certification.
5) Regular welder's performance check or re-test.
