Defect Moduel 3

Module 3 covers the purpose and components of Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Welding Procedure Qualification Records (PQR). It emphasizes the importance of essential and non-essential variables in WPS, the need for re-qualification upon changes to essential variables, and the various destructive tests applicable to PQR. The module concludes by explaining the relationship between WPS and PQR and sets the stage for further learning about Welder and Welding Qualification Records.
