Expert Welding Procedure Specification Services
At General Welding Services, we understand the critical role that welding procedure specifications (WPS) play in ensuring the quality and longevity of your projects. That’s why our WPS are crafted to uphold the highest Australian standards for welding, providing you with the assurance of structural integrity and mechanical resilience.
What is Welding Procedure Specification?
WPS is a formal written document that describes the specific procedures to be followed in producing a weld according to certain standards and codes. It provides clear instructions for the welding process, ensuring consistency, quality, safety, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The key elements of a WPS Include:
Base Material
Types and grades of the materials to be welded.
Welding Process
The specific welding process to be used (e.g., TIG, MIG, Stick, etc.).
Joint Design
Details of joint geometry, dimensions, and the allowable tolerances within.
Filler Material
Specification of the welding consumables.
Welding Parameters
Information such as current, voltage, travel speed, heat input, and interpass temperature range.
Preheat and Interpass Temperatures
The required temperature to be applied before and during welding.
Gas Flow Rate
The required flow rates for processes that require shielding gas.
Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT)
Any heat treatment processes required after welding.
Welding Technique
Direction of travel, layer sequence, manipulation of the welding torch, etc.
Inspection and Testing Requirements
Nondestructive examination (NDE) methods and acceptance criteria.
Why Weld Procedure Specifications Matter
Before any welding job, it is essential to establish a WPS. This document serves as a blueprint for the welding process, delineating crucial parameters such as joint design, base metal selection, and weld metal properties, among other parameters. By adhering to an approved WPS, welders can confidently execute their tasks, knowing they operate within approved welding parameters.
