Certification - Asme Welding

Before a welder can be certified, the employer must have a qualified WPS. This is the "recipe" for the weld. It details the specific parameters (amps, volts, travel speed, joint design) required to produce a sound weld. A welder cannot be certified without a qualified WPS to weld to.

If a welder fails a production weld inspection (e.g., X-rays show defects), their certification may be revoked until they re-test. asme welding certification
