Chapter 5 Flashcards
ISO
International Organization for standards
Essential variables
those variables that if changed beyond limits, require a new welding procedure to be prepared and qualified
Code
body of laws, as of a nation, city, etc, arranged systematically for easy reference
Camber
The permissible variation from straightness, as in grinder beams

Procedure Qualification Record
Standard
Something established for use as a rule of basis of comparison in measuring or judging capacity, quality, content, extent, value, quality, etc.
Specification
A detailed description of the parts os a whole; statement of particulars, as to actual or required size, quality, performance, terms, etc.
WPS
Welding Procedure Specification
WPQ
Welder Performance Qualification
Quality
Conformance to specification
UNS
Unified Number system
Scope
Defines the limits of the specification coverage
Qualification of welding procedure
most important preliminary steps in fabrication sequence
D1.1 is limited to what welding thickness
1/8 or thicker
WPS
Welding procedure specification
Common tests used to produce qualification are
Tensile, bend, nick break, macro-etch, fillet break & NDT
