General
Label for "WPQ No.": Replaces the WPQ No. designation throughout the program with the entered text.
Field value for "Deposited weld metal range qualified": When there is no limit to the welder’s deposited weld metal thickness, the range qualified can be set to display ‘Max to be Welded,’ ‘WPS Limits’ or ‘Unlimited’ on the WPQ.Treat GMAW and FCAW as the same process for ASME welder qualification: Because of the similarities between the two processes, ASME Section IX allows a welder to be qualified for both GMAW and FCAW processes when they qualify in one of the processes. Some companies prefer to keep the qualifications separate for quality control purposes. Clear this box to require a welder to qualify for each of these processes individually.

Mechanical Test Label
The ASME Section IX Code suggested WPQ form, QW-484, contains a field with a prompt of "Mechanical tests conducted by." However, when qualifying a standard groove weld, many companies will choose to radiograph the groove joint instead of doing the bend tests and may want to document the name of the lab which performed the radiographic tests.
