Procedure Specifications from Drawings
Duration: 4 Days
Click for Terms and Conditions
Course overview:This course is specifically
aimed at design personnel who need to be able to specify
the correct welding procedure specifications from drawings.
The course also provides a very good overview of welding
procedure specifications which is suitable for both
design and welding personnel who wish to gain an in
depth view of this area of technology.
Course content:Welding terminology; aspects of weldology: weld
sizes versus range of qualification; welding processes, welding techniques, design
considerations and range of qualification; edge preparations & joint design
selection and effects on range of qualifcation; welding procedure specifications
(WPS); application of WPS to drawings; materials selection, weldability and range
of qualification; fatigue design, brittle fracture and influence of range of
qualifcation; Assessment of welding drawings versus WPS’s for compliance;
case studies and case history for effective WPS application; End of course assessment.
Suitable for:
Non welding and welding design personnel, CAD personnel,
welding engineers and welding supervisors who are required
to understand the technical considerations of weld
design and the interaction of welding procedure specifications.
Course outcomes:
On completion of the course you should be able to:
- Be able to communicate effectively using correct
welding terminology.
- Have a high level of understanding of weld procedure
specifications and apply effectively and correctly
to engineering drawings.
- Understand various welding technology aspects that
influence welding procedure selection
- Appreciate advantages and limitations of welding
processes and techniques in relation to the drawing,
design and WPS requirements
- Deduce the most suitable WPS’s for a given
application.
