| Checks the
code for you... consistently ... accurately |
|
WeldOffice®
code checking makes sure your WPS and
PQR complies with ASME IX, AWS D1.1, or EN 287. Additionally, by supplying information straight out of the code, WeldOffice®
keeps you from having to search through the code for requirements, interpret the code and
risk making a mistake. You can enable or disable this feature when
complying with specifications that supercede the requirements of the code.
|
| Generate
Welder Performance Qualification (WPQ) fast ... automatically |
|
WeldOffice®
automatically enters the qualified ranges. You
can also create and save standard tests (or templates) which you can re-use
to create new WPQ’s on the fly, simply by selecting welder’s name or
welder’s ID from the database. You can also clone an existing WPQ and edit its date and welder information.
|
| History
Log and Qualification Maintenance |
|
WeldOffice®
includes a
welder history/maintenance log, enabling you to record tests and production welds
that welders took or made. The software uses this log to automatically update the
expiration dates of welder performance qualification records. You can then ensure you only
use qualified welders by using the program's powerful and flexible search routines to
specify procedures or any parameters which must be met for future production welds. The
software will sort welder records and present you only with welders who are qualified to
make such welds. Any lists of welders will optionally be ordered so that the welders with
the earliest expiration dates are at the top of the list. This way you can make maximum
use of qualification periods. The software can optionally perform a search automatically
on startup to give you a list of welders due to expire in a predefined period. This level
of management of your welder/welding operator performance qualification records can save
you thousands of dollars in preventing unnecessary qualification tests.
|
| Minimizes
Typing |
|
WeldOffice®
reduces the amount of typing
to an absolute minimum. You
select data from a list instead of having to re type the same information.
You can customize most drop down menus up front or on-the-fly while
filling out the forms. You can store and reuse any custom notes without
retyping with a single click.
|
| Universal Forms
|
|
WeldOffice®
satisfies the needs of organizations working with multiple
codes and standards. In the real world, piping and other pressure retaining components are supported by structures that have different design requirements as well as
different qualification requirements. With the universal WeldOffice®
forms, there is no need to keep separate formats for ASME, AWS or EN
documents.
|
| Dynamic
Forms Layout ...
|
|
The universal WeldOffice®
WPS and PQR contains all
ASME Section IX, AWS D1.1 as well as EN288 variables and test requirements.
Based on the code selection folowed by process selection, only the applicable items are displayed dynamically on the
screen and printed on the forms.
|
| Filler metals and
Base metals |
|
The fully searchable databases for filler metals and
base metals have over 4,000 code classified materials. With the powerful searching,
sorting, and filter functions designed in our databases, finding the information you need
is fast and easy even if you have only minimal information about the materials you are
using. Once the welding electrode, welding rod, welding wire or base metal is found,
WeldOffice®
will
put all of the information straight onto the forms such as:
- P-numbers
- S-numbers
- Group numbers
- F-numbers
- A-numbers
|
| Pipe
Schedules |
|
Nominal pipe size, pipe schedule, diameters and wall thickness
are
automatically selected from the applicable tables with a single mouse click.
