Purchase a Prequalified Welding Procedure Specifications (PWPS)

Select from the available AWS code categories below to purchase prequalified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs).

AWS D1.1 PREQUALIFIED WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONS (PWPS)

Procedures for common structural steel welding applications. Covers carbon steel materials such as ASTM A36, A992, and A572 Grade 50 using multiple welding processes.

$250

AWS D1.3 STRUCTURAL WELDING CODE – SHEET STEEL

Prequalified welding procedures for sheet steel applications using short-circuit GMAW, FCAW, and SMAW processes. Designed for thinner materials and light structural components.

$250

AWS D1.6 STRUCTURAL WELDING CODE – STAINLESS STEEL

Prequalified welding procedures for stainless steel applications. Covers common stainless grades and welding methods used in structural and industrial environments.

When You Need Procedure Qualification (PQR Development)

Not all welding procedures can be prequalified. If your application falls outside prequalified limits, a qualified procedure supported by mechanical testing is required.

This typically applies to non-prequalified joints, specialised materials, new welding processes, automated or robotic welding systems, or projects with strict customer or industry requirements such as aerospace or pressure vessel work.

The PQR Process

We manage the full procedure qualification process from initial review through to final documentation, ensuring your welding procedures meet the required code and application standards.

Step 1

Engineering Review

We review your project requirements and determine the necessary variables based on the applicable welding code, materials, and welding process.

Step 2

WPS Preparation

A Welding Procedure Specification is prepared for qualification testing, defining the parameters required for the procedure.

Step 3

Qualification Welding

Test coupons are welded in accordance with the procedure to demonstrate the weld process.

Step 4

Mechanical Testing

The welded coupons are tested in our laboratory, including bend testing, tensile testing, and any required examinations.

Step 5

PQR Documentation

Results are compiled into a complete Procedure Qualification Record documenting the test results and qualification data.

Step 6

Final WPS Issuance

Your qualified WPS is issued and ready for use in production welding.
