Hello all,
I have a question regarding WPQ's. We are at the beginning of a project , using a modular contractor. Our specs call out:
WELDING PROCEDURE QUALIFICATIONS
Each Contractor performing welding shall record in detail and
qualify the welding procedure specification for any welding procedure
followed in the fabrication of weldments. Conform qualification of welding
procedures to AWS D1.1/D1.1M and to the specifications in this section.
Submit for approval copies of the welding procedure specification and the
results of the procedure qualification test for each type of welding which
requires procedure qualification. Submit this information on the forms in Appendix E of AWS D1.1/D1.1M. Individually identify and clearly reference on the detail drawings and erection drawings all welding procedure specifications, or suitably key them to the contract drawings. In case of conflict between this specification and AWS D1.1/D1.1M,
this specification governs.
The contractor supplied WPS's for 13 applications of welds, and welder qualification test records for 23 employees dated from '05-'07.
Do these documents qualify as WPQ's?
Thank you for any and all help in this,
David
