WELDER QUALIFICATION SERVICES IN UTTAR PRADESH

QUALITY CONCEPT Welding Solution Private Limited, we offer Welder Qualification services to certify welders in accordance with international standards such as ASME, AWS, and ISO. Our qualification process involves supervised test welding under specific conditions, followed by visual inspection and destructive/non-destructive testing. This ensures the welder’s skill, consistency, and compliance with project requirements

What is a welder qualification?

Welder qualification is the formal validation of a welder’s skill to produce sound welds that meet recognised standards such as ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and ISO 9606‑1. This includes both non‑destructive and destructive testing on test coupons. Such tests ensure welders consistently deliver quality welds for structural, pressure vessel, pipeline, or industrial applications.

Welder qualification service in Uttar Pradesh covers the full spectrum- from welding test coupons to inspection, documentation, and final certificate issuance. Whether you seek the best welder qualification company in Uttar Pradesh or top welder qualification agency in Uttar Pradesh, we’ve got you covered.

Why Is Welder Qualification Mandatory? 

1. Safety & Quality: Prevent defects like cracks or lack of fusion, ensuring structural integrity.
2. Legal & Code Compliance: Required under codes for heavy engineering, pipelines, and pressure vessels.
3. Inspector Approval‑Readiness: Documents like WPQ/WQTR are ready for inspection.
4. Improved Productivity: Qualified welders minimise rework and boost site efficiency.

How We Conduct Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ)

1. Scope & Standard Selection

Define:-

• Welding process (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW)
• Base metal, thickness range, joint type (butt, fillet)
• Applicable codes (AWS D1.1, ISO 9606‑1, ASME Section IX)

2. Test Coupon Fabrication

Cut coupons replicating actual field conditions; welders then produce welds under supervision.

3. Variable Recording

Capture essential variables: current, voltage, travel speed, electrode type, and backing.

4. Inspection & Testing

• Visual inspection mandatory
• NDT: RT, UT, PT, MT
• Destructive tests: tensile, bend, macro etch per AWS D1.1 Table 6.11

5. WPQ Documentation

Prepare a Welder Performance Qualification Test Record (WQTR) as proof of competence.

6. Review & Approval

AWS/CSWIP-certified inspector reviews coupons, test results, and issues a WPQ certificate accepted nationwide.

7. Range Qualification (Where Applicable)

Optionally, implement range qualification allowing flexible welding variables within defined limits.

8. Ongoing Support & Renewal

Certification is valid for 6 months and can be renewed via maintenance or retest as needed. We track validity and notify you before expiry.

Scope of Welder Qualification

Our qualification services are designed to meet client, project, and regulatory requirements across sectors:

• Welder Skill Assessment – Evaluation of welder capabilities on real welding jobs using specified materials, joints, and positions.
• Test Coupon Welding – Supervised welding of test plates or pipes under actual site or workshop conditions.
• Visual & Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) – Inspection of welded joints using VT, RT, UT, PT, or MT as per applicable standards.
• Mechanical Testing – Coordination of bend, tensile, and impact tests to ensure weld integrity.
• Qualification Certification – Issuance of welder qualification records (WQR) and ID cards valid under relevant codes.

Codes & Standards We Follow

• ASME Section IX – Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
• AWS D1.1 – Structural Welding Code (Steel)
• ISO 9606 – Qualification Testing of Welders
• IS Standards – Indian Welding Codes
• Client-Specific or Project-Based Standards

FAQs:

Q1: What is a welder qualification certificate (WPQ)?

A1: Official documentation proving a welder passed tests and inspections per AWS, ASME, or ISO code. Includes variables, joint details, and acceptance results.

Q2: Validity of welder qualification test?

A2: AWS allows 6-month intervals for performance. Renew by proving continued welding activity—no retest unless expired.

Q3: Is it specific to the process or the material?

A3: Yes. WPQs are tied to process (e.g., SMAW), position, base material, thickness, and joint type. Changing essential variables requires new tests.

Q4: What tests are included?

A4: Visual inspection, bend/tensile tests, and NDT where needed. Codes like AWS D1.1 specify detailed requirements via Table 6.11.

Q5: Can one WPQ support multiple jobs?

A5: Yes, if base variables remain consistent, one WPQ suffices across similar jobs.

Q6: Do you provide range qualification?

A6: Yes, offering flexibility for welders to operate within approved variable ranges per AWS.

Q7: What standards are followed?

A7: AWS D1.1, ISO 9606‑1, ASME Section IX.

Q8: Are certificates nationally valid?

A8: Absolutely. WPQs issued under AWS/ASME codes are accepted nationwide—including UP.

Q9: How quickly can I get certified?

A9: From scheduling, welding, testing, to certificate issuance—typically 2–3 weeks with lab coordination.

Q10: Why choose Quality Concept?

A10: Over 1,400 satisfied clients, onsite presence in Greater Noida, certified inspectors, fast turnkey delivery, and proactive lead-generation engagement.
