There is often a great deal of confusion when it comes to essential documents for welding and fabrication, such as Welding Procedure Specifications (WPSs) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQRs). The goal of this seminar is to clarify the documentation process, establish the significance and function of each document, and detail how to write, qualify, and utilize WPSs, PQRs, and WQTRs. The seminar also covers the qualification process for welders and welding operators.
