The Welding Performance Qualification Record (WPQR) Sample Form is an invaluable document in the welding industry, serving as a testament to a welder's ability to produce work that meets specific standards. This comprehensive form, exemplified by the one provided by WPSAmerica.com, not only encapsulates critical details such as the welder's name, identification number, and the type of welder but also delves into the specifics of the welding procedure, including the welding code (AWS D1.1 in this case) and the welding procedure specification number. Parameters such as base metals used, their specifications, and the welding process (SMAW, for Shielded Metal Arc Welding), along with actual values used and the qualification range, are meticulously recorded. Additionally, the qualification process involves rigorous testing positions, base metals thickness, and filler metal specifications, ensuring the welder's performance meets the stringent criteria set forth by the AWS D1.1. Complementing these technical details are the results from various tests, such as visual inspection and guided bend tests, underlining the compliance of the welded specimen with the required standards. To affirm the legitimacy and accuracy of the WPQR, it is inspected and certified by an AWS Certified Welding Inspector, further solidified by the signatures of authorized personnel from the manufacturing or contracting firm. This document not only stands as proof of a welder's qualification but also underscores the adherence to quality and safety standards critical in structural welding.
