Weld Procedures & Welder Qualifications
Weld Procedure Specification is the formally written document which provides the welding party with the necessary information for the scope of work they have. This preliminary document is normally provided by the manufacturer, along with test pieces from each welder.
Weld Procedure Approval
Weld Procedure Approval is the next step in the process, whereby the preliminary procedure is reviewed and approved by the inspection body. The approved procedure will come as part of the Weld Procedure Approval Record.
WHE NDT are willing and able to provide this service at your request.
Welder Qualification
Welder Qualification is the final step, using test pieces provided by each welder. The welded components are inspected and tested by various NDT methods, alongside destructive mechanical tests.
We travel to our clients, working around your schedules, offering an efficient and great value service.

Boiler Inspection
Boiler, Tank and Plant Room inspection techniques
Ultrasonic thickness surveys are utilised to see if the pipe wall thickness is starting to corrode and or diminish.
Visual inspections are carried out with every in-service inspection. We comment on general condition of the pipe work and highlight any areas for concern.
Ultrasonic butt weld inspections are carried out to ensure the installation was carried out properly, ensuring the weldment is conforming.
Phased Array Ultrasonic Inspections are used to inspect butt welds. This inspection has a high accuracy and is quicker than conventional ultrasonic inspections. Data is collected during the inspection and is presented to the client upon request.
Magnetic Particle Inspection is a surface inspection method that is used on ferritic material with no paint present or removed. This inspection is very good at finding surface breaking defects and pin holes.
Hardness Testing
WHE NDT are able to give a measurement in Leeb (HL), Brinell (HB), Vickers (HV) or Rockwell (HRA, HRB, HRC).
This test can be carried out on a wide variety of materials. Our operators are able to carry out this service on site or at our test facility.
