Description
In this course, "Reading and Reviewing Welding Documents", you will learn everything you need to know about the key welding documents – the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) and the Procedure Qualifications Records (PQR) – and their fit within an company's welding program.The WPS is essentially the recipe, the work instructions welders use to correctly complete a particular weld. Variables like base material, filler material, position, electrical parameters, and shielding gas are specified on the WPS. Engineers develop these WPS's based on industry codes, manufacturers' recommendations, and their own experience and experimentation.The PQR is used to determine that the proposed welding operation is capable of producing welds that meet the engineering requirements for the intended application. The purpose of the PQR is to establish the finished properties of a particular welding procedure. This is done by recording the results of certain mechanical properties tests on the PQR. Tests like tensile, elongation, and Charpy impact are tests commonly found on a PQR.Given the high level of detail on these documents, mistakes are common … even for seasoned welding engineers. This is where the skill of a document auditor really pays off. By understanding the function and intent of these documents, an engineering or quality professional can save their company untold costs and delays.In this class, you will learn:The key components of a company's welding programAn overview of the major welding documentsWhat is a PQR?
