Welding Procedure Qaulifications
Welding procedures comprise a set of detailed instructions on how the weld is to be performed, with the purpose to facilitate planning and quality control of the welding operation. They are required to demonstrate the ability to produce welds possessing the correct mechanical and metallurgical properties and structural integrity.
