In this course Understanding Welding Codes and Procedures, you will learn from an industry expert an overview of the Codes, Standards, and Specifications that govern the welding industry.

Industry organizations such as the American Welding Society (AWS), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the American Petroleum Institute (API) publish a wide range of standards covering everything from simple carbon steel structural applications to nuclear power plant construction. Understanding how to read and interpret these standards, and how to integrate their requirements into your organization's training documents and work instructions is key to a successful career in welding.

Some of the topics you will learn in this course include:

• The major industry trade groups and the standards they issue

• The key sections found in most standards including general info, joint design, base material, filler material, positions, electrical characteristics, and more

• Best practices in writing Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) to align with the major codes

• The key sections of the WPS including

• Essential, Non-essential, and Supplementary Essential Variables

• An overview of welding inspection including test coupons, tensile testing, bend testing, impact testing, non-destructive testing and visual inspection

• Welder Performance Qualification documentation and testing

When you enroll in this course, you also get instant access to 14 downloadable resources that allow you to continue your learning and implement some of the procedures you're learning. Downloadable resources with this course include:
