Applied Technical Services offers welder certification testing for clients who need their welders to perform to certain standards. We offer certification testing for a variety of applications and codes such as API, AWS, AMS, ASME, and PED/EN. Our mechanical and nondestructive weld inspection methods allow us to evaluate all aspects of a welder’s performance and gain a thorough understanding of their competency level.
Our Testing Capabilities
ATS employs certified weld inspectors (CWIs) to evaluate welders during certification testing. Our testing facility offers well-lit booths with sufficient equipment to complete the test comfortably. We keep an in-house stock of the test coupons required for certification, which we can provide to welders at a reasonable cost. Our test inspectors watch for proper technique and setup according to the requested standard or code.
We have a variety of mechanical and destructive weld inspection methods available for assessing weld quality, such as:
- Magnetic Particle
- Visual Testing
- Bend Testing
- Liquid Penetrant
- Macro Etching
- Ultrasonic Testing
- Hardness Testing
- Drop Weight Impact
- Charpy Impact
- Load Testing
- Computed Digital Radiography
- Traditional Radiography
