WPS Builder Calculator

Welding Procedure Specification template — fill parameters and export PDF

Enter welding parameters across identification, process, joint design, filler, technique, and pass sequence. Export a formatted WPS template PDF or save/load JSON drafts between sessions. This is a documentation template — not a qualified WPS or substitute for a PQR.

How to use: Fill required fields (company, WPS number, process, base metal group), add pass rows as needed, then Export WPS PDF. Use Save (.json) to resume later with Load (.json). Required fields block PDF export until complete. Have the procedure reviewed and qualified per your applicable code before production use.

Reference Materials

AWS code books and official WPS/PQR form pads are common shop references for procedure documentation.

Catalog gap: No AWS D1.1 code books or WPS/PQR form pads exist in the TestTalkHQ affiliate CSV at publish time — we do not substitute unrelated products.

Template vs Qualified WPS

A Welding Procedure Specification tells the welder how to make a weld that has already been qualified. This tool formats the parameters you enter into a clean PDF layout — it does not run qualification tests, tag essential variables per ASME IX tables, or certify compliance. Treat the export as a starting draft for shop documentation, then have a qualified individual review it against your PQR and applicable code (AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, etc.).

Save / Load Workflow

Complex WPS drafts span multiple sessions. Use Save (.json) to download a portable draft file keyed to _type: testtalkhq-wps. Reload it with Load (.json) — the form, multi-select chips, pass table, and joint diagram restore from the file. JSON is client-side only; nothing uploads to a server.

Companion Calculators

For preheat and interpass values referenced in the Technique section, use the Preheat Temperature Calculator and Interpass Temperature Calculator. For code context, see What Is AWS D1.1? and the AWS D1.1 Quiz. Walk through every field in the WPS Builder Guide.
