Tie every weld to its procedure specification, its welder and its inspection record.

A job shop takes in a small frame, a pressure fitting or a run of brackets and returns it welded, ground and checked. The customer sees a clean seam. Behind that seam sit a drawing revision, a written procedure, a named welder and a spool of ER70S-6 wire nobody remembers opening.

Quotes, shop orders and weld inspection records usually live in different places, a price book here and a ring binder of procedure sheets there. The software joins them to the job, so the welder, the process and the test result are found under one number. Tell us which welding procedures and test types you run, and each job card carries those exact fields.

Work arrives as drawings, samples or a verbal request over the counter, priced by joint length, plate thickness, process and finish, with cutting, fit-up and grinding added on top. Material comes from a stockist or the customer. Plate, tube and section are cut, tacked on a jig or a positioner, then welded by MIG, TIG or stick depending on the metal, the joint and the position.

Some jobs call for a written procedure, preheat and a qualified welder, with interpass temperature checked by crayon or probe. Others need only a good eye. Distortion is checked after cooling, and a bowed channel goes back to the press for straightening before anyone paints it. Visual inspection is done on every job, while dye penetrant, magnetic particle or radiography goes outside when the drawing asks for it. Rework is common. Wire, rod and gas are bought by the lot and shared across many jobs, so nobody knows what a single job really cost. The van leaves with the parts and, where the buyer asked, a test report stapled to the delivery note.
