Weld Testing
Quality Testing, Inc. been for providing weld testing to the Gulf South, and world wide, since 1996. Trusted by some of the largest names across multiple industries like Swagelok, Navy, GE-Energy, Exxon, Expro, Chevron/Phillips, Chart Energy, and more. We have a fully equipped machine shop with sophisticated CNC mills and lathes to quickly, efficiently, and accurately produce your test samples within tight tolerances for data quality. Our calibrated test equipment ensures that you get the most accurate results possible.
Quick Turnaround
We've built systems to ensure rapid turn around. We strive to get results out within 3-5 days on a standard basis. Our custom LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) and dynamic job board which is monitored on a computer in each department allows us to be nimble, and adaptable to meeting clients needs.
Technology
We have an automated CNC Vickers Micro-hardness tester that can produce highly accurate results for the most demanding of hardness surveys.

A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a written document formally outlining welding procedures, designed to guide the welder or welding operators on how to consistently make quality production welds as per the code requirements. New welding procedures must be written for each welding type used every time a manufacturer develops more technologically advanced forms of steel.
Weld Procedure Qualification Testing typically includes the following test types:
Expert Welding Consulting
Some weld test companies may be willing to provide a general welding procedure for a specific material which technically satisfies code requirements like ASME IX; however, there are many variables that go into writing a customized welding procedure that fits your organization. Some of these variables include:
Specific codes and/or engineering societies are often the driving force behind the development of a company's WPS. A WPS is supported by a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR or WPQR). A PQR is a record of a weld test performed and tested (more rigorously) to ensure that the procedure will produce a good weld. Welder Qualification Test Record (WQTR) is a document that certifies a welder is competent to perform a specific WPS.
AWS Certified Welding Inspectors are on staff to write and test your next welding procedure in accordance with ASME, ASNI, API, and AWS specifications.

Some of these variables include:
- Type of material
- Welding process (GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, SAW, SMAW,)
- Material thickness range
- Material diameter range
- Welding position
- Filler material
