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.
