Welder Qualification Witnessing (WPQR)

The audit of the welder to pass the test may include various NDT and Mechanical testing regimes like: x-ray; visual, die penetrant ultrasonis testing or mechanical testing like bend, tortion, tensile or macroscopic-examination testing and will prove the capability of the welder to perform in the field in accordance with the required specifications.
