Welding Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) services cover the testing and verification of welding and brazing procedures to confirm their compliance with relevant national and international standards.
ALFANORM performs these services in line with an independent inspection approach and traceable technical records.
Welding Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) is a technical process in which test welds performed with defined welding parameters are inspected and tested to verify whether the results obtained meet the applicable standard requirements.
This process is intended to demonstrate the technical adequacy of the Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) to be used in welded manufacturing and forms the basis for reliable and repeatable welding practices.
Within the scope of PQR studies performed by ALFANORM, the base material and filler metal used, heat input and welding parameters, and the mechanical and structural performance of welded joints are evaluated.
Inspections and destructive / non-destructive tests carried out on test welds are planned and performed in accordance with applicable standards. The results obtained are documented through technical reports and used as a basis for WPS approval processes.
These studies ensure compliance of welding applications with standards, technical reliability, and suitability for field applications.
