If you are responsible for planning a welding operation, which of the following items are most critical: base metal, welding process, filler metal, current and range, voltage and travel speed, joint design tolerances, joint and surface preparation, tack welding, welding position, preheat and interpass temperature, or shielding gas? This course provides the answers.

This program will benefit owners, managers, engineers, and supervisors who must qualify, write, or revise their own welding procedure specifications to satisfy codes and contract documents.

Topics covered:

  • Proper preparation and qualification of welding procedure specifications
  • Selecting and documenting welding variables
  • Documenting standard procedure qualification testing for commonly used processes for joining ferrous plate and pipe materials.

You can learn:

  • Specifying essential and nonessential variables commonly used in sample AWS, ASME, and API code formats
  • Using standards when preparing procedures
  • Documenting welding variables and qualification tests
  • Avoiding the pitfalls in revising previously qualified procedures.
