🔎 P-shape testing - is your thermal cutting process meeting the required standard?

P-shape testing forms an important part of BS EN 1090-2 Initial Type Testing (ITT), helping verify that your thermal cutting process is suitable for structural use.

While it may seem like a simple test, it provides valuable insight into the quality and consistency of your cutting procedures.

Our assessments include:

✔️ Cut surface quality
✔️ Perpendicularity of the cut
✔️ Hardness testing

At WQ Inspection & Certification Ltd, we provide clear, reliable results with fast turnaround times to help keep your projects compliant and progressing smoothly.

Our Daren Jones is on hand witnessing them complete 4 new WPQRs under our ISO/IEC 17020 UKAS accreditation (Nº9430) — proving once again that clients are happy to travel for the quality, service and flexibility WQiC provides.

🔬 Why is macro testing important?

A weld might look good on the outside, but macro examination shows what’s really going on inside.

By carefully preparing, polishing and etching a sample, macro testing can identify:
🔍 Lack of fusion
🔍 Lack of pe*******on
🔍 Porosity & inclusions
🔍 Weld profile & pe*******on quality
🔍 Heat affected zone (HAZ)

That’s why macro testing is a key part of WPQRs, welder qualifications and weld trials — helping prove that a weld is structurally sound and compliant with the required standard.

At WQIC, our ISO/IEC 17025 UKAS accredited laboratory (Nº9430) produces high-quality, crystal-clear macro images, giving you results you can trust with fast turnaround and clear reporting.

👉 Need macro testing done properly? Contact the WQIC team today.
