Welding procedure specification (WPS) Procedure Qualification Records (PQR)
WPS: It is a written procedure prepared to provide welding parameters for
making welds as per code requirement.Can be used on production only after successful qualification of
supporting PQR(s). A WPS can be supported by one or multiple PQR(s).
PQR:Record of the actual welding data used to weld a test coupon. Also contains test results (Mechanical, Chemical & Non Destructive Test)
of the test coupon.
One PQR can support one or multiple WPS(es).

Different types of variables in WPSEssential variable:
A change in welding condition which will affect the mechanical properties other than toughness of weldment
Any change in this variable calls for re-qualification of PQR
Supplementary – essential variable:• A Change in welding condition which will affect impact toughness of
weldment
• Change in this variable calls for re-qualification of PQR in case there is requirement of impact toughness for the vessel
Non - essential variable:• No change in mechanical properties is expected
A WPS shall record all essential, supplementary essential & non essential variables
