What is WPQR in welding?
Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) A WPQR is a company-specific qualification that proves that the holding company possesses the technical welding knowledge necessary to perform metal joining work.
How do you qualify as a welder?
The qualification of welders can be accomplished by making radiographs or by using bend tests, as required by many welding codes. In Europe, welder qualifications are determined in accordance with EN ISO 9606 or ISO 14732.
Why is a welder qualification required?
The purpose of qualifying the person (welder), who shall use a joining process is to demonstrate that person’s ability to produce a sound weld joint when using a welding procedure specification (WPS).
What is ASME welding certification?
ASME welding certification is among the portfolio, but it is designed specifically for welder and welding procedure qualifications that focus on the structural integrity of welded products.
What is group number in ASME IX?
Table – 2. Now that we have understood ‘P’ numbers let’s move on to the group numbers. Group numbers are subsets of ‘P’ numbers and assigned to ferrous-based metals. Group numbers are assigned only to those materials which require toughness testing for the qualification of its WPS.
What is a number in ASME IX?
What is an A-Number? An A-Number is a deposited weld metal composition grouping defined in ASME Section IX Table QW-442 & Paragraph 404.5. The grouping of A-numbers is based on the measured values of six elements, namely Carbon (C), Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), and Silicon (Si).
What is the difference between WPS and WPQR?
In case you are wondering, a WPS stands for ‘welding procedure specification’ and a PQR is ‘procedure specification record’. A WPS and PQR are mandatory documents when welds need to comply to a standard. Both documents are closely related, but they are not the same.
Is ASME IX a “how to weld” book?
ASME IX is not a “How to Weld” book, but be intended to be used by those who know well on welding and are familiar with welding metallurgy. Loading…
What size root gap is covered by ASME IX?
A root gap from “0 to 50mm (2”)” can be covered by ASME IX, however, a request may be made to have the WPS requalification for the “big” gap if the WPS was not carefully written according to ability of welding technology or welding process to make a sound weld with full penetration as product requires.
What is the ASME standard for preheating?
PREHEAT TABLE: ASME Section I: Preheating from Appendix A (A-100) (a) 250 °F (120 °C) for material which has either a specified minimum tensile strength in excess of 60,000 psi (410 MPa) or a thickness at the joint in excess of 1/2 in. (13 mm): (b) 50 °F (10 °C) for all other materials of P-No. 4 group.
