ANSWERS (100% VERIFIED) |AGRADE
What is a welding procedure specification? - ✓✓ ANS - a written document that
provides direction to the welder for making production welds in accordance with the
code requirements. (QW-100.1)
The purpose for qualification of a WPS ? - ✓✓ ANS - to determine that the weldment
proposed for construction is capable of providing the required properties for its
intended application. QW-100.1
In performance qualification, what is the basic criterion established for welder
qualification? - ✓✓ ANS - QW-100.2 defines the basic criterion established for welder
qualification is to determine the welders ability to deposit sound weld metal. The basic
criterion to establish for welding qualification is to determine the welding operators
mechanical ability to operate the welding equipment.
