Sense and Nonsense of Welding Procedure Qualification<\/strong><\/h2>

Happy New Year AWS East Texas Section Members & LeTourneau Student Chapter,<\/p>

The East Texas Section and LeTourneau University Student Chapter are kicking the New Year off with a joint meeting Thusday, January 17th held at LeTourneau\u2019s “Great Room” (1st floor) of the Allen Family Student Center (#39) (see linked map<\/strong><\/a>).
LeTourneau is located at 2100 S. Mobberly Avenue, Longview, TX 75602.<\/p>

Our guest speaker is Mr. Richard L. Holdren, PE, Senior Welding Engineer, ARC Specialties Technical Services President \/ Principal Welding Engineer, Welding Consultants LLC<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

TOPIC<\/strong>
Sense and Nonsense of Welding Procedure Qualification<\/strong>
This presentation will explore the various methods used for the qualification of welding procedure specifications, with the focus on those AWS standards dealing with the topic.\u00a0 Practicing welding inspectors, technicians, technologists, and engineers will typically spend a significant portion of their careers dealing with the various aspects of welding procedures.\u00a0 These activities will include development, planning, testing, qualifying, documenting, reviewing, and enforcing these important documents.<\/p>

As common as welding procedures are, there still tends to be misunderstanding as to their purpose and certainly how they can be qualified in the most efficient and effective manner.\u00a0 The cost of welding procedure qualification is not trivial, so the greater the understanding of the various Codes and standards dealing with this topic, the better prepared the user is to become proficient in their application.<\/p>

The goal is to provide an overview of welding procedure qualification and provide some suggestions for optimizing this activity to get the most bang for the buck.<\/p>
