# 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 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.

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. The **WPS** in the **Weld & Weld Details** menu used to add the details of WPS. To navigate to WPS, 1\.
