WPS & PQR Qualification Services in UAE

Professional Welding Procedure Qualification for Industrial Compliance

In today's highly regulated industrial environment, welding quality is a critical factor in ensuring the safety and performance of structures, pipelines, pressure vessels, offshore facilities, and fabrication projects.

Companies operating in the oil & gas, construction, marine, power generation, and manufacturing sectors must demonstrate that their welding procedures are qualified and compliant with recognized international standards.

Bureautek provides WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) and PQR (Procedure Qualification Record) qualification services in UAE, helping organizations establish qualified welding procedures that meet project requirements and international welding codes.

Our experienced welding engineers, inspectors, and technical specialists support clients throughout the entire welding qualification process, from test coupon preparation and welding supervision to mechanical testing, non-destructive testing (NDT), documentation, and certification support.

Welding Procedure Specification in UAE

A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a formal written document that defines the approved method for performing a specific welding operation. It provides detailed instructions on the welding process, base materials, filler materials and welding parameters.

A WPS acts as a practical “blueprint” or guiding framework for welders, outlining the exact procedures, techniques, and conditions to be followed to produce precise and reliable welds.

In many industries such as oil & gas, construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, pressure vessel fabrication, and energy, the use of an approved WPS is mandatory under national and international welding standards, including AWS, ASME, ISO 9606-1, and AS/NZS standards.

A properly developed WPS defines the following:

• Base material specifications
• Welding process selection
• Filler metal requirements
• Joint design and preparation
• Welding positions
• Welding parameters
• Preheat requirements
• Interpass temperature controls
• Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) requirements
• Inspection and testing requirements

The main purpose of a WPS is to ensure that welders can consistently produce high-quality welds that meet engineering, safety, and code requirements.
