Quickly Find the AWS Standard Welding Procedure You Need
Developing and testing new welding procedures is costly and time consuming. The American Welding Society (AWS) has created a number of inexpensive Standard Welding Procedures (SWPS) to address this. The question is “does one of these standard procedures apply to my weld”?
Codeware has partnered with the AWS to provide an App to quickly answer this question. With our AWS LookUp App you can:
- Search the entire AWS SWPS database
- See which SWPS’s comply with ASME IX
- Purchase and download SWPS’s
- Directly load purchased SWPS’s into Shopfloor with no manual data entry
Standard Welding Procedures Categorized by Application
For your convenience, the AWS LookUp App categorizes Standard Welding Procedures SWPS into various groups including:
Plate (All standards are adopted by National Board Inspection Code)
Naval Applications (Supports requirements of NAVSEA S9074-AQ-GIB-010/248)
Primarily Pipe (All standards are adopted by National Board Inspection Code)
A list of all available plate Standard Welding Procedures available for purchase. Each of these procedures can be integrated with our ASME IX and AWS welding application, Shopfloor.
