WPS Road Map

This document outlines the steps to review a WPS (welding procedure specification) and associated PQR (procedure qualification record). It involves checking that the WPS references the correct PQR number, reviewing the PQR test results for tensile, bend, and toughness tests, and comparing the WPS and PQR details to the applicable codes and standards. If all criteria are met, the WPS and PQR are accepted.
