Welders testing and qualification are essential processes in the welding industry to ensure that welders have the necessary skills and competence to produce high-quality and structurally sound welds. These processes help verify that welders can meet the requirements of specific welding procedures and industry standards. Welder qualification is particularly critical in industries where the integrity and safety of welded structures are paramount, such as construction, aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas
Welder qualification is carried out to confirm that a welder can consistently produce welds that meet established welding procedure specifications (WPS), industry codes, and quality standards. The primary goal is to ensure that welded joints are structurally sound and meet design requirements.
