WPS
The welding procedure specification sets the parameters a welder must follow to produce a sound joint: process, materials, consumables, positions, preheat and other variables.
Welding Engineering
WPS and WPQR preparation and qualification, technical reviews, material engineering and IWE/EWE-certified welding engineers.
