Welding Certification & Verification
Our welding specialists provide third-party witnessing of weld specification, procedure qualification, and welder qualifications when you need independent verification.
Where you have a requirement for independent verification that welding has been performed to the required specification, our specialists offer third-party witnessing of weld procedure qualification and welder qualifications.
Certifying Welding Procedures
Our services include the certification of welding procedures by creating a Weld Procedure Specification (WPS) and issuing a Weld Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR).
Weld Procedure Specification (WPS)
A WPS is a ‘technique’ card that documents how to produce a weld. Our specialists will:
- Create a Weld Procedure Specification (WPS).
- Carry out non-destructive and destructive testing on the weld test piece produced under the WPS in our laboratories.
- Verify the weld test piece meets the applicable codes or standards.
- Issue a Weld Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR) for the weld procedure, which qualifies the WPS.
Certifying Welder Qualifications
A welder must hold the necessary qualifications to perform welding. Dymer India’s welding specialists certify welders by:
- Monitoring and assessing the welder during the welding process.
- Submitting the test piece to the lab for relevant testing according to the applicable code.
- Issuing certification for a period of two to three years, after which re-certification is required.
