How many passes can I record on one PQR ?
You can define up to three separate welding processes on one PQR. Each process can be further divided into five sets of parameters, so you can have 15 different sets of conditions on one PQR. Weldspec also features a PQR data collection sheet form (PQRD) which allows you to define as many passes as you like. Weldspec will then create a PQR automatically, summarising the data from the PQRD.
How many people can run Weldspec at my company ?
The standard licence gives three users. You can buy as many more user licences as you wish. Please note that we don't distinguish between read-only users and 'write' users. All users need a licence.
Can I use my own sketching tool ?
Yes. Within the software, you can define what file extension you want to use for Weldspec sketching. Weldspec will then link to whatever is the default editor for that file type. Pre-drawn templates are available for bmp, gif, jpeg and vsd (Visio) formats.
Can I create a welding procedure to more than one code ?
In theory, yes. You can turn the code checking off, then manually enter data onto the blank form. However, in practice, this is extremely difficult to achieve and still meet all the requirements of more than one code. Weldspec will not attempt to automatically create one document to meet two codes
Do you charge for code updates ?
Yes. The annual maintenance charge covers all code updates. See prices for details of the Annual Maintenance Scheme (AMS).
Do you incorporate the latest versions of the codes ?
Yes. We have representatives on the major code committees and we update the software whenever the codes change. For the US codes, this includes the databases of the base and filler materials.
