WPQ Builder Calculator

Welder Performance Qualification test record — companion to the WPS Builder

Document the welder, WPS referenced, process, coupon, positions, and test results. Export a formatted WPQ test record PDF or save/load JSON drafts. Load a WPS Builder .json export to pre-fill the reference section. This is a documentation template — it does not qualify or certify a welder.

How to use: Fill required fields (welder name, WPQ number, WPS referenced, at least one process), enter test results, then Export WPQ PDF. Use Save (.json) to resume later. Load WPQ / WPS (.json) restores a WPQ draft fully, or pre-fills the reference section from a WPS Builder export. Required fields block PDF export until complete. Have the record reviewed by a qualified individual before relying on it.

Reference Materials

AWS code books and official welder qualification form pads are common shop references for performance qualification records.

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

Template vs Welder Certification

A Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) records that a specific person demonstrated a sound weld under stated test conditions. This tool formats the details you enter into a clean PDF layout — it does not perform visual, bend, tensile, RT/UT, or fillet-break testing, and it does not compute the qualified range (position, thickness, diameter) from code tables. Treat the export as a starting draft for shop documentation, then have a qualified individual (e.g., a CWI) evaluate the actual tests per AWS D1.1, ASME Section IX, or your applicable code.

WPS Import Prefill

A WPQ references the WPS the welder tested against. Use Load WPQ / WPS (.json) with a file from the WPS Builder (_type: testtalkhq-wps) to copy WPS number, process(es), and base metal into the reference fields only. Welder identity and test results stay blank for you to fill. Loading a WPQ export (_type: testtalkhq-wpq) restores the full form.
