Welder Qualification WPS, PQR, WPQ in Bangalore
Trinity NDT WeldSolutions Private Limited is leading welding services company in Peenya, Bangalore. We provide, welder qualification, wps approval services in industrial hubs of Bangalore and Hosur. WPS and welder certification is given as per ASME Section IX, AWS and ISO.
Welding and fabrication codes set the criteria for design, material quality control, inspection, and welding procedure qualification. International codes universally require the establishment of welding procedures, emphasizing both the need for process qualification and the essential skills of welders to ensure quality of welds.
Before the commencement of manufacturing, suppliers and customers collaborate to define fabrication code and welding process requirements, ensuring a mutual understanding of quality standards and eliminating discrepancies.
Welding, being a specialized process, involves numerous variables directly impacting quality. Rigorous control of each variable is imperative to maintain consistency and uphold quality standards. The establishment of a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) before welding initiation is crucial. Any alterations in variables necessitate the creation of a new WPS. This implies any change in essential variable needs to start the new procedure and a new WPS.
For pressure vessel fabricators, international codes such as ASME Section IX validate the qualification of certified welders and welding operators. AWS D1.1 is employed for WPS and welding qualification in structural steel welding. Additional standards like Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR), ISO, and BS/EN provide detailed requirements specific to the industry application. Overall, it is the responsibility of the contracting parties to agree on the applicable code for procedure and welder qualification.

Calibration for Welding Machine and Gas Flow Meter
Before going for Welder Qualification, performing weld on specimen, the welding machine should give consistent current, voltage. Otherwise, the produced joint could be defective. This undermines the welder skills. As there are machine factors that have direct impact on quality, it will be difficult to assess the weld process. Due to this, it is essential to calibrate the welding machines before starting procedure for welder qualification tests.
Where gas is used for shielding, flow rate is checked using calibrated gas flow meter and pressure gauges. In addition, to produce defect free welds gas purity is checked and maintained. Gas flow meters should be calibrated by NABL accredited laboratory. Each flow meter calibration is traceable to national standard. Gas purity shall be tested and a certificate is obtained from supplier of the welding gases.
Calibration Agency for Ammeter & Gas Flow Gauges

Welding, a specialized process for material joining, serves as the primary fabrication method. Merely connecting two members is insufficient; they must endure their intended lifespan, emphasizing the importance of a welding procedure (WPS) meeting rigorous quality standards.
Validation of a welder’s ability to consistently produce high-quality, defect-free welds through a vital welder qualification test is crucial in both welding and brazing processes. Welder performance qualification(WPQ) gives the assessment about welder’s skills in delivering right quality welds.
The Welding Services center based in Bangalore extends essential services like welder qualification tests, certifications, and validation of WPS and PQR. We serve for companies in Bangalore, Mysore, and nearby cities such as Hosur in India. Welding engineers have extensive experience in working with ASME, AWS and ISO standards.
The welder certification package includes
- Welding procedure specification-WPS
- Procedure Qualification Record-PQR
- Welder performance qualification-WPQ
To initiate WPS, weld testing, and welder certification reach out to Trinity NDT Center of Excellence in Welding at Bangalore, India. Our dedicated welding engineers ensure prompt service, supported by a well-equipped NDT service laboratory with Radiography(X-ray), Ultrasonic testing, and other NDT inspections for rapid and accurate results.
Also offers supporting ASNT Level III, IWE, IWT, and CSWIP 3.1 welding inspector services in India, catering to diverse welding inspection needs.
How to get WPS, PQR and Welder Performance Certificate?
The procedure qualification record (PQR) is a document that consists of record of weld test results. A PQR is a document that records the
actual values but not lists ranges as is with WPS.
Finally, from recorded results in PQR, a WPS is prepared with ranges using the essential variables as per the welding code. In other words, it is important that welder should know both WPS and PQR. In conclusion, PQR is an office document and WPS is a shop floor document for the welders.
Procedure for obtaining welder qualification tests is detailed here. Send us a query on email or WhatsApp. We mail you a questionnaire to know your precise requirement. A quote is prepared and sent. Upon approval, release of PO, our welding engineer will witness the process at your site, collect the specimen, arrange DT & NDT and submit the documents.
Codes, Standards for qualification of Welding and Brazer Qualifications
Usually the code used for WPS or welder performance qualification is specified by the end customer. Trinity NDT – Center of Excellence in Welding provides these services as per any international standard. Though it is up to the customer to decide on welding code, we prefer to complete the process as per ASME Section IX – latest version.
Countless number of codes and standards are available for establishing WPS, PQR and WPQ. It is the responsibility of welding company to choose right welding code that satisfies the customer.

WPS, Welder Performance Qualification as per AWS, ASME & ISO
WPS is a vital document that explains how to weld during production. Also, WPS records all the parameters used while doing the welding. Therefore, AWS and ASME section IX and ISO codes mandates preparing WPS and issue welders qualification. Trinity NDT-Welding Centre provides welders performance certificate and prepare a new WPS, if there is a change in any essential parameters.
WPS basically documents information. Such as base material grade, electrode selection, preheating, post heating(if any), voltage, amperage, welding speed, weld position, gases to be used(if any), gas flow and many other essential and nonessential variables.
If the welder follows the WPS, he could able to produce the best quality welds. In general, WPS documents with ranges of weld parameters so that the welder could able to produce good quality welds.
Brazing process qualification and Brazer certification Services
Brazing is an another joining process in which a molten filler material is used that has a liquidous temperature above 450ºC but lower than the solidus temperature of the parent materials.
‘Brazer’ is a skilled person who holds and manipulates the device for heating the brazing area by hand. Whereas, Brazing operator is the person who prepares the brazing joints and sets up Brazing equipment and thereby direct influence on the Brazed joint quality.
Brazer and Brazing Operator Qualifications
Brazing Procedure Specification (BPS) is a document providing the designations or values of the required variables necessary to achieve consistent brazing. That is to say, Brazers needs certification and qualifications. Contact us for BPS for brazers and brazing operators in India
