Welding procedures training (WPS)
May 20, 2020 @ 3:30 pm - May 21, 2020 @ 4:30 pm
These presentations provide expert training on Welding Procedure Specification’s (WPS) for professionals such as supervisors and inspectors. They’ll be delivered in four one hour webinars via “Zoom” (a video webinar platform).
This webinar format has been developed to replace the planned half-day workshop on welding procedures.
The WPS is a formal written document describing welding procedures, which provides direction to the welder or welding operators for making sound and quality production welds as per requirements of the applicable standards.
WPS are important to execute properly, as they form a part of the fabricators Quality Management System (QMS) in compliance with the requirements of standards such as AS/NZS ISO 3834 and the Steel Fabrication Scheme (SFC).
You’ll learn:
- Development of PQRs and WPSs to AS/NZS 1554
- Essential variables and range of qualifications
- Economics of welding procedures
- Review of common errors
- Classification of welding consumables
- Work examples
- Fabrication quality control and inspection
Who should attend?
This welding procedure webinar is perfect for professionals who have responsibility for the supervision and inspection of welded fabrication, and the qualification of welding procedures and welders for the structural steel sector.
It is also relevant for sales personnel in the field of welding technologies.
Why is this the course for you?
Writing welding procedures can be challenging, as it’s quite easy to include too much detail or extend the range of qualification beyond that recommended by the manufacturer of steel or welding consumables.
This training will give you good procedures to help with this.
Solutions, maybe as simple as possibly allowing for the maximum deposition rate and reducing the likelihood of defects. As with most procedures they will often benefit from being revised and improved on an ongoing basis.
