Weld Procedures

Hands-on training to help you pass

All the work that we perform is in accordance with National, European and Internationally Recognised Standards, including:

• BS EN ISO 15614 (WPQR Weld Procedure Qualification Records) specifies how a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified by welding procedure tests.

The primary purpose of welding procedure qualification is to demonstrate that the joining process proposed for construction is capable of producing joints having the required mechanical properties for the intended application.

• BS EN ISO 9606 (welder qualification range) specifies the requirements for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels.

When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welder’s ability manually to manipulate the electrode, welding torch or welding blowpipe, thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality.

• BS EN 287 (This is now superseded by EN9606)
• ASME IX is an American welding and brazing qualification for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels and pipework.  The standard ensures that the welding procedure and resulting weld comply with the guidelines for construction and are capable of withstanding the environment they are intended for, without compromise to material or construction integrity.
• BS 4872 This is suitable for welders involved in manual or semi-automatic fusion welding of ferritic steel or austenitic stainless steel fabrications for which the welding procedure does not have to be approved.

Here are some of the procedures we cover MIG/MAG, MMA, TIG and FLUXCORE in Mild Steel, Stainless and Aluminium and can certify to BS EN 15614, ASME, BS EN 9606, BS EN 287-1, BS EN 4872 and many more!

• We will come to your premises so your welders are comfortable with their own equipment. We find this is a great help in achieving passes.
• We are happy to offer special discount rates for multiple welder Qualifications
