Objectives

This e-learning course is designed as an introduction to reviewing Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) qualified to the ASME Section IX code. How to read and apply common WPS and PQR rules, including the interactions between paragraphs, tables, and figures will be taught by:

  • Understanding the basic structure of ASME Section IX and its welding qualification rules
  • Efficiently navigating the welding rules of ASME Section IX
  • Learning Outcomes

    The goal of this eLearning course is to improve the learner's knowledge and ability to review WPSs and supporting PQRs qualified to ASME Section IX. The learner will benefit by learning with:

    • examples of WPS and supporting PQR for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
    • the QW-250 WPS welding variable tables along with applying the related QW-400 welding data paragraphs for SMAW, GMAW, SAW, and GTAW; and
    • commonly used ASME Section IX code paragraphs, tables, and figures; such as positions, mechanical testing, P-No., F-No., qualified thicknesses T and t, essential and nonessential welding variables.

    Who Should Attend

    This e-learning course is designed for inspectors, engineers, tradespeople, QA/QC personnel, NDE examiners, and others working for plant owners, pressure equipment manufacturers and repair organizations, engineering procurement and construction companies, in oil and gas production, refinery plant, pipeline, petrochemical plant, foundries, pulp and paper plant, fertilizer plants, and others.
