Qw-484A Suggested Format A For Welder Performance Qualifications (WPQ) (See QW-301, Section IX, ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code)

This document is a suggested format for a Welder Performance Qualification record. It includes sections for the welder's identification information, test description details like the welding process, base metal specifications, and testing variables. The results section lists the types of tests conducted like visual examination, bend tests, macro tests, and alternative nondestructive tests. It certifies that the tests were performed according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and is signed off by the organization conducting the tests.
