This presentation has been prepared to be used as a guide for validating the welding procedure specification (WPS)/procedure qualification record (PQR).
It is not intended to be used for the development of a WPS or PQR. For creating these documents, greater detail is needed and should be accomplished by qualified personnel utilizing the respective construction code or specification.
It is further recognized that owner–users may have specific requirements that exceed the
requirements of a code or specification. Examples include additional hardness testing, minimum preheat temperatures, or a limit on heat input. While such additional requirements are not necessarily required by code/specification, such welding procedures will need to meet these additional requirements for compliance.
