Welding
Welding is a part of the Pressure Vessel manufacturing process. Welding on pressure vessels must be extremely high quality to withstand working conditions. Properly preparing for welding can reduce or even eliminate reworking.
1 Preliminary Welding Procedure Specification (PWPS)
A pWPS (Preliminary Welding Procedure Specification) is a preliminary or draft welding procedure prepared before the actual qualification of a welding process. It is mainly used as a guideline for conducting welding during the Procedure Qualification stage. In industries such as pressure vessels, piping, structural fabrication, offshore, and oil & gas, welding procedures must be qualified and approved before they can be used for production welding. The pWPS is the first step in this qualification process.

2 Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)
A Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) is required when it is necessary to demonstrate that your company can produce welds with the required mechanical and metallurgical properties. A welding procedure must be qualified in accordance with the requirements of the applicable welding procedure standard (such as ASME Section IX, ISO 15614, etc.).
Each welder is separately qualified for a particular welding process, position, and range of parameters through a Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ). Therefore, weld testing for procedure qualification is typically performed by a competent welder, while individual welder qualification tests are carried out to ensure each welder meets the acceptance criteria for the process.

3 Welder Procedure Specification (WPS)
A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) provides direction to welders and welding operators for producing sound and quality welds in accordance with code requirements. Each welder is certified through a qualification test, documented in a Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ or WQTR), which demonstrates that the welder has the required skill and ability to deposit weld metal following the specified WPS.
A WPS must be supported by a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR), which proves that the procedure can produce welds with the necessary mechanical properties. The WPQ/WQTR, on the other hand, validates the welder’s ability to follow the WPS.
