This article discusses a few things that a welding engineer must keep in mind while writing a WPS, in accordance with Section IX of ASME BPVC. WPS is short for Welding Procedure Specification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being a welding engineer myself, I have touched upon a few things that do not find an obvious mention in the Section IX. Some things can only be learnt through experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The information contained herein may be useful to not just a welding engineer, but also the inspector who has to review the WPS. The inspector needs to verify its\u2019 compliance to Section IX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Occasionally, apprentices\/trainees\/interns come to my workplace. I task them with reviewing random WPSs. And ascertain whether the WPSs in my shops and the PQR(s) supporting them are Section IX compliant or not. This article may be useful to such apprentices as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that this entire discussion is pertinent only in reference to Section IX of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
