ASME IX · AWS
Before you weld a joint that will be inspected, both the procedure and the welder have to be qualified. ONIX writes, runs and documents that qualification to ASME Section IX and AWS, for its own jobs or for third parties.
Scope
Scope is tuned to each project. This is what ONIX normally executes within this service.
Drafting the welding procedure specification for the project's material, thickness and position.
Test coupon welding, mechanical testing and the qualification record that backs the WPS.
Testing and certification of each welder for the procedures they will run on the job.
Joint map, welder traceability per joint and a consolidated file ready for audit.
Photographic record
Deliverables
The steel is handed over erected and the dossier is handed over in your hand. This is what it contains for this service.

Welding procedure qualification
ONIX, C.A.
Signature and stamp of the technical lead
Yes. Procedure qualification is a standalone service: we run it for third-party jobs, including remotely.
It depends on the material and the number of essential variables. The schedule is estimated once the project's joints are reviewed.
Material and thickness, welding position, the intended process and the code the job will be inspected under. That is enough to draft the specification.
At the ONIX shop or at the client's facility, whichever suits the project. What does not change is the mechanical testing and the record that backs the procedure.
Yes. Welder qualification (WPQ) is performed on the client's own personnel, for the procedures those welders will run.
