    The document provides an overview of welding procedures and their importance. It discusses that welding procedures (WPS) are required documents that specify the variables for making a specific weld to prove to engineers and regulators that quality welds can be produced. It outlines the key information that should be included in a WPS, such as governing codes, material parameters, welding processes, process parameters, pre/post-weld heat treatments, joint design, filler metals, cleanliness requirements, and procedure qualification records. It also discusses welder qualification testing and important weld quality and safety considerations.
