Come join us on Thursday, January 29, 2026 at 6PM Central at the Lebanon, TN TCAT campus for a welding documentation technical meeting.
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (B&PVC) inspector Duane Morrison will be on hand to educate and inform all of us on how to read, understand, and properly use Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), and Welder Performance Qualification Records (WPQ). TCAT students will be required to set up machines in their shop using a WPS after Duane’s technical talk.
CWIs, welders, welding engineers, welding supervisors, and others responsible for welding operations are expected to understand the requirements found on Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and other welding documentation.
Come further your welding education or maybe help the next generation of welders understand the welding documentation required by the codes.
Meeting start time will be 6:00 PM. The meeting will be preceded by a social hour beginning at 5:00 PM including food.
Location: TCAT Hartsville – Wilson County Campus, 411 Tennessee Blvd, Lebanon, TN 37087

A note about Duane Morrison. Duane is employed by Bureau Veritas, and performs inspections at the Lochinvar LLC facility in Lebanon, TN. Lochinvar builds thousands of ASME Code pressure vessels each year, so Duane understands the documentation involved.
I hope to see you there.
