Ensuring Quality and Compliance with Welding Procedure Qualifications

Ensuring the quality and consistency of welding procedures is essential for the safety, reliability, and performance of any project. At Inspecto Visio, we specialize in Welding Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR), helping companies establish and validate welding procedures that comply with the strictest industry standards. Our experts provide full support from developing your Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) to ensuring certification for welder performance qualifications (WPQ).

What is WPQR?

The Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) is a crucial document that demonstrates your company’s ability to produce welds that meet the necessary quality and safety requirements. It involves testing and validating a specific Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), ensuring that the procedure can consistently deliver the desired results under real-world conditions. Achieving WPQR certification is vital for industries that require high levels of weld quality, such as offshore energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.

In Detail

Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) Development

The WPS is the foundation of a successful weld. We work with your team to develop comprehensive Welding Procedure Specifications that define all necessary parameters, such as welding techniques, materials, joint configurations, and environmental conditions. These specifications ensure that every weld is performed to the highest standards.

Procedure Testing and Validation

Once the WPS is established, it must be tested to ensure compliance with industry regulations. Our experts conduct comprehensive testing under controlled conditions, validating the welding procedure’s ability to produce consistent, defect-free welds. This includes testing for:

  • Destructive testing (when required)
  • Mechanical properties
  • Visual inspection
  • Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ)

In addition to validating the welding procedure, your welders must also demonstrate their ability to perform the procedure to the required standard. We provide support in securing Welder Performance Qualifications (WPQ), ensuring that your welding team is fully certified to execute the WPS.

Certification and Documentation

We ensure that all necessary documentation is prepared and ready for review by certifying bodies. Our team compiles and organizes the required records, ensuring you have everything in place for a smooth audit process. We also provide ongoing support to maintain compliance as standards evolve.

Why WPQR is Essential

Compliance with WPQR standards is not just about certification—it’s about ensuring the quality, safety, and reliability of your welding processes. A properly validated welding procedure protects your projects from:

  • Structural failures
  • Costly rework
  • Regulatory non-compliance
  • Increased liability risks

With WPQR, you ensure that every weld meets the strictest quality standards, giving your clients confidence in your ability to deliver projects that meet their expectations for safety and durability.
