• All the basic information about the welding procedure

• Name of the company and person who developed it

Specification number and date.
• Most WPS will be backed on a PQR (Procedure Qualification
Record), you should refer to it in order to make it easy to trace
the document back.
• Number and date of the last revision
• Welding processes and type
Details of the joint design, including root spacing and backing (if

required, gas used and the positions
in which the procedure will be
performed. The welding progression
should be specified if it is required.
