WELDENG 4602
Transcript Abbreviation:
Weld Proc Dev&Qual
Course Description:
This course is an introduction to developing and qualifying weld procedures and personnel to welding codes and standards (e.g., AWS B2.1). Hands on welding is required to qualify welding procedure specifications through weld testing for producing procedure qualification records. Weld inspection and acceptance criteria are also explored on how they affect weld design based on welding codes.
