RECORD
(PQR)
The WPS is derived from a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR), which documents welding parameters during a test weld. Once the test piece meets compliance standards, the WPS is finalized, and the PQR serves as proof of the weld’s integrity.
A Weld Procedure Specification (WPS) is a documented set of instructions that guides welding personnel in producing defect-free welds. Since welding is inherently imperfect, all standards require both a WPS and qualified welders before work begins.
