Pipe welding certification in Detroit: what to expect

Pipe welding certification in Detroit means proving that a welder, and the procedure they follow, can produce sound welds on a given pipe material, size and position. Contractors, plants and welders across Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties need it for boiler and power piping, process piping, pipelines and structural work. Most pipe work is qualified under ASME Section IX, with API 1104 used for pipelines and AWS codes for structural steel.

There are three documents to know. A welding procedure specification (WPS) spells out how to weld. A procedure qualification record (PQR) proves that procedure was tested and passed. A welder performance qualification (WPQ) shows an individual welder passed a test coupon, such as a 6G pipe test, under that procedure. Coupons are checked by bend tests or radiography, and qualification is kept current through a continuity log.

Need the welding done, not just qualified? Compare pipe welding and certified welding inspection, or browse Detroit pipefitters.

What a proper job includes

  • A review of the code, material, size range and positions needed
  • Welding procedure specifications written or reviewed for the work
  • Procedure qualification testing and records where needed
  • Welder test coupons welded under observation
  • Bend tests or radiographic examination by a qualified lab
  • Signed WPQ records and a continuity log
  • Guidance on filing procedures with the state Boiler Division for boiler work

What drives the price

  • Code: ASME Section IX, API 1104 or AWS
  • Number of welders and positions tested
  • Material: carbon steel, stainless, chrome-moly or others
  • Bend testing vs radiography
  • Whether new procedures must be qualified
  • Testing at a facility vs on site

Permits and licensing in Michigan

Michigan rules require that when welding is used to install, repair, replace or alter a boiler, the licensed installer or repairer files welding procedure specifications and procedure qualification reports, qualified under ASME Section IX, with the state Boiler Division before any welding. Welder performance qualification records must be available for the inspector at the job site or another agreed location.

Other piping codes and owner specifications set their own qualification rules, so confirm what your project requires. Under ASME Section IX, the organization that qualifies a welder is responsible for those records, so ask how qualifications are handled when a welder changes employers.

Common questions

Pipe Welding Certification in Detroit: FAQ

It depends on the code, number of welders and positions, material, bend testing or radiography, and whether new procedures must be qualified. Group testing is usually more efficient per welder.
It is a pipe coupon fixed at a 45 degree angle and welded all the way around without rotating. Passing it usually qualifies a welder for all pipe positions within the procedure's limits.
Yes. Michigan rules require ASME Section IX qualified welding procedures filed with the Boiler Division, and welder qualification records available for inspection.
