Preparation PQR

Preparation of PQR (Procedure Qualification Record)

Principle is exactly recording a result of test.

1) PQR No. : WPS NO is referenced by WPS preparation.

2) Date : Issued month, date, and year of PQR.
3) WPS NO. : Draft WPS No. used by PQ Test (e.g DA-M-0101-001)

4) Rev No. and Date : Draft WPS revision No and Issued date of Draft WPS
5) Welding Process : SAW, SMAW, GTAW, FCAW, GMAW, SMAW+SAW,
GTAW+SMAW, GTAW+FCAW
6) Type of Welding

Manual Type :
GTAW, SMAW
Semiautomatic Type : FCAW, GMAW, STUD
Auto Type :
Orbital GTAW
Machine Type :
SAW

7). Base Metal
Material Spec : Record material specification used by P.Q Test.

P-No
Write P-No according to QW-422. Material unclassified by code are
written
Z0.
Gr-No
Write Gr-No according to QW-422. Material unclassified by code are
written
- or N/A.
Base Metal Thickness
Write thickness of base metal. If groove welding is different thickness,
write
thickness of each base metal.
Thickness of deposit weld metal
- Groove : It means that thickness of reduced section, If it is different
thickness.
- Fillet : Throat Thickness

Preparation PQR
Pipe Diameter
Record Pipe Dia & Thickness (Record N/A When PQ test isnt
accomplished by Pipe)

- One-Pass welding : write None
Preheat Maintenance
- operation : recording Preheat temperature
- not operation : None or N/A
Other
When the especial matter of preheat is required, a record shall apply. If not require, it
is
writing N/A.
