APPROVED WPQR TECHNOLOGIES: STAINLESS STEELS & NICKEL ALLOYS

We are authorized to prefabricate and assemble equipment subject to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). Our competencies are backed by solid evidence – we hold Welding Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR) approved in accordance with the EN ISO 15614-1 standard. In addition to standard acid-resistant and austenitic steels (e.g., 316L), we hold rare market qualifications for welding advanced nickel alloys, including Hastelloy C22. This competence is absolutely critical for the most rigorous projects in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
