A WPS is not valid unless it is supported by a . This document records the actual values used during a test weld and the results of mechanical testing (e.g., tensile and bend tests) to prove that the proposed procedure produces a sound joint. 3.

While ASME publishes hundreds of standards, is the primary "qualification code" used globally for welding, brazing, and fusing. It does not dictate how to build a specific product—that is the job of "construction codes" like Section VIII (Pressure Vessels) or B31.3 (Process Piping)—but it defines the rules for ensuring a weld will be reliable. 1.
