FMS weld test facility is a newly
constructed facility located in Mobile, AL to serve the public and
various companies throughout the welding industry. Our test facility
has 15 welding booths that are equipped to test on the test on all welding processes.
At FMS, we have a machine shop and a
mechanical testing lab located on site for immediate sample
preparation and testing to help provide a quick turnaround in order
to meet your scheduling needs. We also have heat treating furnaces
so we can perform post-weld heat treatment onsite.
Specific codes and/or engineering societies are often the driving force behind the development of a company's WPS. A WPS is the formal written document describing welding procedures, which provides direction to the welder or welding operator for making sound and quality production welds as per the code requirements. The WPS is supported by a Procedure Qualification Record (PQR). A PQR is a record of a test weld performed and tested (more rigorously) to ensure that the procedure will produce a sound weld. FMS can perform the welding and testing of PQR specimens in order to qualify and document the procedure and create a WPS that defines the necessary variables for the specified process.
A WPQ is a test certificate that shows
whether a welder possesses the necessary experience and knowledge to
perform the specifications of a particular weld procedure.
FMS has multiple Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI) and one Certified Welding Engineer on staff and is capable of testing and qualifying welders to meet the following applicable codes but not limited to ASME, ABS, API, AWS, DNV, and Navy Mil-Standards.
FMS stocks both plate and pipe coupons prepared and ready for testing against various code requirements.
FMS provides clear, concise, and accurate qualification records to their clients on time every time. We also provide documentation review services to ensure that your documentation follows the applicable codes and specifications
