Welding Procedure Specification (WPS)

A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a detailed document that outlines the precise steps and parameters required to perform a specific weld safely and correctly. It ensures consistency, quality, and strength in welds by specifying factors like the types of materials, welding techniques, equipment settings, and safety measures. Think of it as a detailed recipe or instruction manual that welders follow to produce reliable and code-compliant welds, minimizing errors and ensuring the structural integrity of the final product.
