What information is typically listed on a PQR?

• A. The drawing numbers and purchase order
• B. The welding process, base material, filler metal, joint design, test results, and qualification statement
• C. The project budget
• D. The production schedule

Answer: (B)

A welding Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) is the formal record of a procedure qualification test. It captures the exact details of what was tested and the results, showing that the welding procedure can produce acceptable welds under those conditions. The information typically listed includes the welding process used, the base metal, the filler metal, the joint design, the test results, and a qualification statement that the procedure is validated for those conditions. This combination provides a complete, traceable record that supports the validity of the welding procedure under specified materials and setup. Items like drawing numbers, purchase orders, project budgets, or production schedules aren’t part of a PQR because they relate to project management rather than the technical qualification data.
