WELD PROCEDURES
- Weld Procedures (WPS) are an important and necessary component of the welding QA package for all welding projects including those under 1554.1 in the structural steel industry. A welding procedure provides instructions for welders on the parameters required to produce a defect free and mechanically sound joint.
