A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a formal document describing welding procedures. It is an internal document used by welding companies to instruct welders (or welding operators) on how to achieve quality production welds that meet all relevant code requirements.
Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials — Qualification by adoption of a standard welding procedure ISO 15613 Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials — Qualification based on pre-production welding test
This is a list of welding processes, separated into their respective categories. The associated N reference numbers (second column) are specified in ISO 4063 (in the European Union published as EN ISO 4063 ). [ 1 ]
The location of the elements of a welding symbol when following US conventions. In the US, the component elements of the weld specification are: [2] The reference line - the body of the arrow which is the baseline for the specification. The arrow tip which goes at an angle to the reference line, pointing to the joint to be welded.
In addition to welders and welding machine operators, there are also schemes to independently certify welding inspectors and related specialities. The duties of the welding inspector are described in ISO 14731; [12] however the requirement for inspector certification are not standardized, so there are differences in requirement between the various schemes.
The evolution of welding technology has been driven by advancements in Weld quality assurance, welding codes, and standards for welding inspection. [11] While the origins of welding can be traced back to approximately 3000 B.C., the need for effective weld joint inspection became increasingly apparent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the rise of industrialization ...
Inline coherent imaging (ICI) is a recently developed interferometric technique based on optical coherence tomography [8] that is used for quality assurance of keyhole laser beam welding, a welding method that is gaining popularity in a variety of industries. ICI aims a low-powered broadband light source through the same optical path as the ...
The metalworking industry has instituted codes and specifications to guide welders, weld inspectors, engineers, managers, and property owners in proper welding technique, design of welds, how to judge the quality of welding procedure specification, how to judge the skill of the person performing the weld, and how to ensure the quality of a ...
