What is a welding procedure specification (WPS)?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”dark”]With the mandatory introduction of these execution standards, each type of weld gives rise to a welding procedure specification (WPS), which in turn refers to a prior welding procedure qualification (PQR). The WPS’s main aim, therefore, is to ensure a certain level of quality. WPSs contain all the information a welder needs to manage a welding task. They form the basis of all quality welds. The technical content of the WPS is determined in great detail by standards such as NF EN ISO 15609-1<\/a> and ASME section IX<\/a>. Nevertheless, procedures vary from company to company and project to project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/5″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”7148″ image_size=”medium_featured” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”lazy-load” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” constrain_group_2=”yes” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

What information is included in a welding procedure specification?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In a Welding Procedure Specification, we find the information needed for pre-welding preparation, welder settings, and information on the materials used (filler metal and welded materials).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text]\n

When should a welding procedure specification (WPS) be drawn up?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The WPS is drawn up after a trial weld. It is also possible to take an existing welding procedure specification and adapt it.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text]\n

Who is involved in drafting a WPS?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The welding supervisor, the qualified welder, the controller and the inspector are the people concerned by WPS.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text]\n

Is a welding procedure qualification mandatory?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The WPS is mandatory if a company wishes to validate a welding procedure qualification (PQR) and to qualify a welder. The welder must be able to interpret a Welding Procedure Specification and follow the instructions to make the correct weld(s).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20px”][vc_column_text]\n

What can Welding Cloud software do for WPS?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Welding Cloud software is the ideal solution for WPS production. It enables :<\/p>\n
    \n
  • Easily process and manage existing data and information required from a WPS, thanks to its clarity and the volume of detailed information it can handle,<\/li>\n
  • Use a logical process to create a relevant welding procedure description in a very short time,<\/li>\n
  • An extensive database of base materials, filler materials, gases, electrodes and sketches,<\/li>\n
  • Simplify work considerably and save precious time compared with manual creation,<\/li>\n
  • Improve efficiency in the management of welding procedures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In short, SIRFULL’s Welding Cloud software makes it quick, easy and reliable to create and track Welding Procedure Specification.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#dbe2f1″ scene_position=”center” top_padding=”5%” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”custom” custom_text_color=”#18344e” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”slight-fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” delay=”300″][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bottom_padding_tablet=”3%” text_align=”center” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n
