Keep every specimen traceable

Identify the test piece before recording a result. Use the same coupon or specimen reference on the request, laboratory report and the WPQ, PQR or production record it supports. Record the material, thickness, welding process and report number from the source documents rather than filling gaps from memory.

What to enter for each test

  • For a bend specimen, give its identifier, bend type and the observed result.
  • For tensile testing, enter the measured dimensions, load, reported strength and failure location.
  • Record nick-break, macroetch, hardness or fillet-fracture findings only when those tests were actually performed.
  • Finish with the laboratory, report number, test date, tester and reviewer shown by the evidence.

A useful entry might say “specimen B-01 | face bend | see laboratory report LAB-014”. These references are fictional examples of how to connect a row to its source, not a test result or an acceptance decision. Keep the signed laboratory report with the final record so someone can check the measurements and observations.

The form records results you supply. It does not conduct a test, calculate acceptance, or establish that a welder or procedure is qualified. Apply the acceptance criteria from the relevant contract and standard during review.
