Visual Weld Inspections
Applied Technical Services conducts visual weld inspections that evaluate the quality of welded materials. Welding is a popular process amongst manufacturers in various industries, and our experienced certified welding inspectors assess the quality of welds to observe their quality and minimize risk.
Why are Visual Weld Inspections Important?
Visual inspections are critical to the quality of welds and can often reduce construction costs and minimize costly mistakes in the welding process. Qualified inspectors conduct visual inspections throughout each phase of the welding process to thoroughly examine workmanship, ensuring the quality of the work is code compliant.

Pre-Welding Inspections
Pre-weld inspections allow welders to observe the preparation process of the welding joint and other materials. This step enables welders to inspect the following:
- Materials and documents
- Evaluate the cleanliness of the weld's joints
- Ensure that the WPS and WPQR are compliant
Pre-Welding Inspections
During welding, visual inspections are especially important as welders observe the following.
- Temperature Control
- Cleanliness
- Ensure that the welding process is consistent with the WPS parameters
Pre-Welding Inspections
- Verify the weld’s completion
- Ensure that the weld has the proper appearance, length, and size
- Observe any flaws or inconsistencies in the weld
- Verify the weld profile
There are several advantages to visual inspections, including:
- Nondestructive
- Inexpensive
- Minimal use of tools
