Procedures module

A qualified-procedure library that never goes stale

Maintain WPS, PQR, and NDE procedures in one place, mapped to the welders qualified to use them. Get an alert before a qualification lapses, not after.

  • WPS / PQR linkage with essential variable tracking
  • Welder continuity tracking with expiry warnings
  • NDE procedure library (RT, UT, PT, MT)
  • PDF attachments preserved and searchable

WPS, PQR, and the welder roster in one view

Each WPS shows the PQR that qualifies it, the essential variables, and the welders currently qualified against it. When a welder takes a continuity break, you see it before the next weld is logged.

NDE procedures alongside welding

Manage RT, UT, PT, and MT procedures next to your welding procedures. Inspectors see exactly which method and acceptance criteria apply to each weld during NDT review.

What you get

Expiry alerts

Get notified well before any WPS, PQR, or welder qualification expires so the work never stops.

Audit-ready

Every procedure carries its full history — uploads, revisions, who approved what, when.

Welder matrix

See at a glance which welders are qualified for which WPS, by position, process, and material.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload our existing WPS PDFs?

Yes. WPS, PQR, and NDE PDFs are uploaded directly and stored with full history. The procedure metadata (essential variables, qualifying ranges) can be entered manually or extracted automatically.

Does Piping.Tools handle welder continuity?

Yes. Each welder’s last qualifying weld per process is tracked, and you get alerts before continuity windows lapse so you can schedule a refresh weld in time.

How does this connect to the weld log?

Welds in the log reference WPS and welder records here. If a welder is unqualified for a WPS, the system flags it at log time so the issue is caught immediately.
