Frequently asked questions
How often does a welder need to be revalidated?
Every 6 months under most codes (ASME IX, AWS D1.1), counted from the last production weld - if the welder goes longer than that without welding within the qualified scope, the qualification lapses.
Can a welder qualified at one company weld at another?
The qualification is tied to the welder, the process and the essential variables tested, not to the company - but it is up to the receiving company to verify and take ownership of the qualification presented, keeping the records and the revalidation continuity.
How much does it cost to qualify a welder?
It varies with the process, material and applicable code - mechanical testing and NDT are the main cost drivers. In the initial assessment we already show how to reduce the number of qualifications needed without losing coverage.
