WELDING PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION IN UAE
EIWAA Marine offers WPS PQR qualification services in UAE for oil & gas, marine, and construction companies to ensure the welding quality and welding soundness comply with the requirements of welding competency, welding safety, and welding project requirements. Our certified welding engineers ensure that your welding procedure specifications (WPS) and procedure qualification records (PQR) meet international welding standards of ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, and ISO 15614. If you are in pipe welding and offshore welding projects, our weld testing and third-party welding documentation services help you to meet quality compliance and sound welding integrity. In the shipbuilding industry, our qualified welding procedure specification, Procedure Qualification Records, and third-party welder qualification services meet the major ship classification requirements of ABS, BV, Lloyd’s Register, RINA, and DNV.
We help fabrication companies, shipyards, offshore contractors, and construction companies qualify Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) in accordance with the welding codes and standards of ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1, ISO 15614, and API 1104. Our professional welding inspectors, welding engineers, and welding consultants offer complete welding consultancy services throughout the welding procedure qualification process—covering everything from welding map preparation, test coupon preparation, mechanical testing, and coordination with third-party or classification authorities like DNV, ABS, BV, and Lloyd’s Register.
- Oil & Gas: Pressure vessel & pipeline welding qualification
- Marine & Offshore: Class-approved welding procedures and procedure qualification records for hull, deck & piping
- Construction: Structural steel welding and bridge fabrication
- Manufacturing & Fabrication: WPS/PQR setup for production facilities and workshops
- Energy & Utilities: Power plant maintenance and equipment welding compliance
PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION RECORD IN UAE
EIWAA provides welding procedure qualification records (PQR) along with welding procedure specifications (WPS), mechanical tests, and radiography tests. Mechanical test records include tensile tests, bend tests, Charpy V-notch impact tests, macro examinations, hardness tests, and fracture tests of various butt welds and fillet welds. Butt welding positions are 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and 6G positions. Fillet welding positions are 1F, 2F, 3F, and 4F positions. Acceptable NDT inspection and testing for qualifying various welding positions of butt welds are radiography (X-ray/gamma ray), magnetic particle inspection, dye penetrant test, and ultrasonic scanning test, depending upon the base materials, welding positions, and welding code/standards.
PQR, or Procedure Qualification Record, cannot be revised, and the essential variables are P-Number, F-Number, A-Number, Material, and PWHT, and the supplementary essential variable is Group Number. Welding codes and standards for qualifying PQR and WPS shall be
- AWS D1.1: Structural Welding Code – Steel
- AWS D1.2: Structural Welding Code – Aluminium
- AWS D1.3/D1.4/D1.6: Welding codes for sheet metal, reinforcing steel, and stainless steel
- AWS B2.1: Requirements and methods for welding procedure (WPS) and welder performance qualification (WPQ)
- ASME SEC IX: Brazing and Welding Qualifications used in pressure vessels and piping
- EN15614: Qualification of welders and WPS qualifications
- ISO 9606: Welder Performance Qualification
- ISO 15614: Specification and Qualification of Welding Procedures, Procedure Qualification for Metallic Materials.
- DNV-OS-C401: DNV Rules for welding and fabrication
- ABS Welding Rules: ABS Rules for materials and welding
- BV NR 426: Welding and fabrication standards
Whether you’re fabricating pipelines, structural steel, ship components, or offshore modules, our WPS and PQR qualification services ensure your welding operations meet client, project, and code requirements.
