Our experienced staff can assist the client in developing a welding procedures that will cover the project requirements and comply with the welding variables and limitations specified by the applicable code.

Various tests are performed on the completed test coupon in accordance with the requirements of the applicable code as well as any client-specified testing requirements and may include tensile and bend testing, Charpy Impact testing, Ferrite Content, Hardness Testing, and Metallographic Examination. Upon completion of the testing, results are reported in a written Weld Procedure Qualification Record.
