I you are dealing with ASME Section IX check out API RP 577. It shows you how to write and qualify these documents. Cost is $125 but it walks you through Section IX line by line on WPS and PQR's

On 07-13-2007, 'strat' made a post titled: "Thanks To A QA Manager". In this post he stated that he went to a three day seminar on writing WPS's,PQR's,and WPQ's.

Where, when, and by who is this offered?

Again, anybody's help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray

Ray,

One of the features of this forum is that you can click on Strat's name above his post and send him a personal message asking for details of the courses he attended. Let us know what you find out, please.

Ray,

Yes, in the blue menu above his info, there is a link that says "Send Message." That allows you to send him an email message via the forum server without ever knowing his email address. It also places an alert and a link to your message on his forum homepage when he logs in. And he can reply to you without knowing your email address or revealing his.
