This document is a welder performance qualification record that evaluates a welder's performance and qualifications. It contains information about the welder, the welding process used, variables of the weld such as materials and thickness, and the results of tests on guide bends and radiographic examination to ensure the weld meets quality standards. Supervisors and an evaluating company certify that the welding was performed according to the proper code.
