Welding Procedure QualificationWestern Technologies performs the testing necessary to qualify both your welders and your weld procedure. In addition, our staff Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) are available to help you sort out the requirements of the specification to which you are qualifying, and assist you through the required paperwork.

Our comprehensive machine shop, with large sawing capabilities, prepares the tensile, bend, macro etch or impact test specimens from your welded samples. These prepared specimens, called coupons, are then tested according to your required specification. The resulting test data provides the basis of the procedure qualification.
