Report

Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document

What Is a Welding Inspection Report?

A welding inspection report is a formal document used to record the results of weld inspections, including visual examination and non-destructive testing (NDT). It ensures that welds meet specified quality standards and code requirements.

Why Use This Template?

This template provides a structured format for documenting weld details, inspection results, defects, and recommendations. It helps maintain consistent quality control across welding projects.

Who Should Use It?

Welding inspectors, structural engineers, and quality control personnel use this report to document weld inspections and support decisions on weld acceptance or repair.

Structural Steel Welding

Use this report during structural steel welding to verify that each weld meets project specifications and applicable codes.

Rebar Welding in Concrete Construction

For welded rebar connections, this report documents visual and NDT results to ensure structural integrity.

Pressure Vessel and Piping Welds

In industrial settings, this report can be adapted for inspecting welds on pressure vessels or piping systems.

Quality Assurance Programs

Incorporate this report into your QA program to maintain a record of weld inspections for each project phase.

Audit and Compliance

Use the report as evidence of compliance with welding codes during internal or external audits.

Training and Qualification

Completed reports can serve as training examples for new welding inspectors to understand documentation standards.

  1. 1

    Review Welding Procedure

    Before inspection, review the welding procedure specification (WPS) and welder qualifications.

  2. 2

    Perform Visual Inspection

    Examine the weld surface for cracks, porosity, undercut, and other defects. Record the result as pass or fail.

  3. 3

    Conduct NDT if Required

    If specified, perform non-destructive testing (ultrasonic, radiographic, etc.) and record the method and result.

  4. 4

    Document and Approve

    Enter all findings into the report, add photos, and obtain signatures from the inspector and structural engineer.

Photo Report Generator

Attach photos of weld appearance and NDT indications to your welding inspection report using the photo report generator.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables

What is included in a welding inspection report?

The report includes inspection information (date, inspector, project), weld details (type, size, visual result), NDT method and result if performed, defect notes, overall status, and signatures of the inspector and structural engineer.

What types of defects can be recorded?

Common weld defects include cracks, porosity, undercut, lack of fusion, and slag inclusion. The report allows you to describe any defect found during visual or NDT inspection.

Is NDT always required?

NDT is performed only when specified by the project requirements or applicable code. The template includes optional fields for NDT method and result.

Can I add photos to the report?

Yes, the template includes photo fields for weld appearance and NDT indications. You can upload images directly or use the mobile app.
