Frequently Asked Questions
A welding log is a quality record that documents every weld joint on a project, including the welder, welding procedure used, inspection results, and any repairs. It provides traceability from design through installation and testing for structural and pressure-boundary welds.
The template tracks all common Non-Destructive Examination methods: Visual Inspection (VT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Radiographic Testing (RT), Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), and Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT). Each test records the inspector, method, acceptance criteria, and result.
The qualifications section tracks each welder's certification per AWS D1.1 or applicable code, including processes, positions, and material groups they are qualified for. It also tracks continuity (6-month rule) and qualification test expiration dates to prevent unqualified welding.
