No PQRs found for these parameters

When attempting to create a WPS from a single PQR, this error may appear because there is no PQR available or because the code assistance has been disabled on the available PQRs and the checkbox "Allow Incomplete/Non-Code PQRs" is not checked.

To correct or avoid this error, create a PQR that matches the WPS specifications. View the PQR help files for more information.

When attempting to create a WPS from multiple PQRs, this error may appear for a number of reasons.

  • It may occur because there is no PQR available. If this is the case, create PQRs that match the WPS specifications.
  • If the error occurs after the first or second PQR has been selected, it may be caused by a specification in QW-200.4(b): when joining PQRs with a base metal thickness equal to or greater than 1/2", the proceeding PQR base metal must be greater than the one prior if using GTAW, SMAW, GMAW, PAW, or SAW processes.
    To work around this error, check the "Allow Incomplete/Non-Code PQRs" checkbox before selecting PQRs.
  • If the error occurs after the first or second PQR has been selected, the PWHT types on the PQRs may be different. To correct this, select PQRs with matching PWHT types.

You must pick a standard test PQR

This error occurs when the selected PQR is an Impact Test Only PQR. These records only consider supplementary essential variables. In order to create a WPS from an Impact Test Only PQR, a standard PQR must also be used.

If the impact tested PQR was performed with both the essential and supplementary essential variables, change the "Test requirements" field on the PQR Properties tab to "With supplementary" and complete the input of all tests on the PQR. The PQR can then be used to create a WPS.
