When Practical Considerations and Human Factors Create Technical Issues –
Why Properly Qualified Weld Procedures Sometimes Fail.
Even where a properly qualified welding procedure plus rigorous monitoring and inspection are employed, it is not unusual to still encounter failures. There are many items such as welding technique or human factors that are not included or required in most Welding Procedure Qualifications (PQR) and Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS). This is especially true where corrosion resistant alloys and weldments are involved. This presentation will concentrate on those items or variables that are not recorded or specified yet can have significant effect on the integrity of a weldment. Practical examples and technical ramifications will be discussed.
