Workshop: Making a WPS Conform ASME IX for Non-Welding Engineers
Why take this course?
Are you an engineer with a non-welding background who wants to increase your understanding of the procedures involved in welding pressurized equipment. In this instructor-led live session you will first be shown the different types of welds that are used and then shown how these are described in a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) conform ASME Section IX.
What you'll learn
After this live Workshop you,
-will be familiar with different types of welds used for pressurised equipment
-understand the influence of access, thickness and material grade.
-are able to calculate the the heat input required
-can specify the surface cleaning and the consumable
-are familiar with the setup of a WPS conform ASME IX
-are better able to place yourself in the position of a welding engineer
About the course
Welding in pressurised equipment is governed by a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS). Are you an engineer with a non-welding background? In this live instructor-led workshop, delivered by an Examiner, Welding Inspector and Trainer, you will become familiar with ASME Section IX and the process of developing a compliant WPS.
During the session, you’ll learn about the key inputs required for a WPS, including heat input and surface cleaning requirements, while having the opportunity to ask the instructor any questions related to welding practice and standards.
By joining this workshop, you will gain the insight needed to understand the mindset of a welding engineer, work more effectively across disciplines, and ensure that practical implementation in the field is considered early in the design process.
Participants will work through real example cases together with the instructor, ensuring an interactive and hands-on learning experience in line with ASME IX requirements.
