CODE, STANDARD, AND
SPECIFICATION
CODE “A body of laws; as of a nation, state, or industry group; arranged
systematically for ease of use and reference”. Examples include AWS
D1.1, API 1104, ASME Section VIII
The difference between a code and a standard is that a code states how to do a specific job
and does not contain all relevant information, but refers to other standards for details.
A code or standard generally mentions three parties - the customer or client, the
manufacturer or producer and the inspection authority. In a code the term ‘shall’ means
mandatory - must be done, and the term ‘should’ means recommended - not compulsory.

Filler Metals
Is to specify filler metal
used in welding.
In WPS is referred to
Specification No. (SFA).

QW-442 A-Numbers
A-No. is determined based on chemical composition of a filler metal,
which is obtained from manufacturers specification or laboratory testing.
15
Procedure Qualification Record (PQR)
All variables shall be the actual variables used during the welding
of the test coupon.
The completed PQR shall document all essential, and when required,
supplementary essential variables for each welding process used during
welding of the test coupon.

HOW TO PREPARE AND REVIEW A WPS
The following list provides basic information for preparing and reviewing
a WPS, and to assure that they are properly prepared, appropriate for
the application, and properly supported by a PQR.
A WPS shall be prepared following all the rules of the ASME Code
Section IX.
When a WPS has all the details required by Section IX, then test
coupons shall be welded under the supervision of the Code user, and
these tests and the test results shall be recorded on one or more
PQRs.
A reviewer should verify that a WPS has an entry for every essential,
(supplementary essential variable when required) and nonessential
variable listed for the process in QW-250.
A reviewer should verify that the WPS covers the ranges for the welding
application for each variable listed for each process, as specified in QW-
250.
25
HOW TO PREPARE AND REVIEW A WPS
A reviewer should verify that the WPS meets all other requirements of
Section IX.
A reviewer should verify that the WPS meets all requirements of the
construction code.
A reviewer should verify that the WPS has been properly supported by
one or more PQRs, and those PQRs shall be listed on the WPS.
26
HOW TO PREPARE AND REVIEW A PQR
QW-250 lists the essential variables for each process used, and these
essential variables shall be described on the PQR. Additional
nonessential variables or any other reference information may be
recorded on a PQR, but a PQR is only governed by the essential
variables (QW-200.2(b)).
27
HOW TO PREPARE AND REVIEW A PQR
QW-250 lists the essential variables for each process used, and these
essential variables shall be described on the PQR. Additional
nonessential variables or any other reference information may be
recorded on a PQR, but a PQR is only governed by the essential
variables (QW-200.2(b)).
The testing of PQR test coupons may be subcontracted, but the Code user
retains responsibility for the results of the PQR tests (QW-201).
A PQR shall be prepared following all the rules of ASME Section IX.
A Code user shall record the actual ranges used for each essential
variable as required by QW250 and other details as required by Section
IX and the construction code.
28
HOW TO PREPARE AND REVIEW A PQR
A reviewer verifies that a PQR covers the ranges for the intended WPS
it is supporting, that a range is recorded for each essential variable for
each process, as specified in QW-250, and that the PQR has the proper
tests and test results documented, and the PQR has been certified by
the contractor.
