Welding & Material Technologies
Welding is a key manufacturing area that has evolved and diversified with advancing technology. Petronorm provides product reliability plus assessment and certification services for materials, processes and personnel.
What it is and how it works.
Petronorm provides product reliability plus assessment and certification services for materials, processes and personnel — ensuring that welded products comply with relevant standards and maintain continuous product quality.
The service goes beyond a single test: it covers the whole chain from procedure analysis and qualification through supervision of mechanical and non-destructive testing, to certification and long-term material assessment.
The scope of this service:
- Analysis of welding and brazing methods (WPS, BPS)
- Welding and brazing method tests and certification (WPQR, BPQR)
- Welding and brazing personnel qualification tests and certification (WPQ, BPQ)
- Supervision of mechanical and non-destructive tests, plus EN 10204-3.2 certification
- Product acceptance tests and certification
- Supervision of casting and forging manufacturing
- Inspection and optimisation of forming processes
- Preparation and supervision of material heat treatment processes
- Macro and micro structure analysis and evaluation
- Remaining life assessments of materials under fatigue conditions
The method at a glance.
The full welding assurance chain — procedures, personnel, production tests and material certification.
Analysis, qualification testing and supervision against EN and ASME requirements, with documented certification.
Fabricators, foundries and manufacturers who need welded products certified to recognised standards.
