Weld log & qual continuity

What WeldBook does

Your welder qualifications are only as good as the paper proving them — and right now that paper lives in someone else's filing cabinet.

Under ASME IX and AWS D1.1, a performance qualification stays current only if you weld with that process at least once every six months. Miss the window and the qual lapses — usually quietly, on the process you don't run every day. The continuity log that would have saved it is kept by your employer's QC department, and when you move on, it stays behind. WeldBook is the record that travels with you.

Log a weld in ten seconds: process, position, job, done. Every entry resets a six-month continuity countdown for that process, so your dashboard always shows exactly how many days each qualification has left before it goes stale. When your TIG clock is running down while you're buried on a stick job, WeldBook says so while there's still time to run a bead — and a reminder pings you before any process quietly dies.

Your WPQ cards live alongside the log: process, code, positions qualified, thickness range, backing, filler class, test date, and the lab that ran the bend tests. Photograph the actual test reports and continuity sheets and they stay attached to the card, so the next time a QC manager or CWI asks what you're qualified to, the answer is in your pocket instead of a shoebox at your last shop. One tap builds a clean, dated qualification packet PDF — your cards, your continuity history, your report photos — ready to hand to a new employer or send ahead of a job.

WeldBook is honest about what it is: your personal record, not a replacement for your employer's quality system. Employers still qualify welders under their own programs — but a welder who walks in with a dated log, WPQ details, and test-report photos walks in ahead, and a welder who watches his own countdowns never loses a qual to silence again.

Fully offline. No company account, no QC login, no subscription. Your welds, your quals, your record.

What's inside

• Continuity Dashboard — One glance shows every qualified process with a days-remaining countdown to its six-month continuity deadline, sorted most-urgent first; logging a weld with that process resets its clock instantly.
• Quick Weld Log — A ten-second entry — process, position, job, date — builds the dated activity history that proves continuity; the full log is searchable and grouped by month.
• WPQ Card Wallet — Each performance qualification as a card: process, code, positions, thickness range, backing, filler class, test date, and testing lab — the details a new QC manager always asks for.
• Report Photo Vault — Photograph bend-test reports, WPQ paperwork, and continuity sheets; photos attach to the matching qualification card so the evidence never lives in a shoebox again.
• Qual Packet Export — Builds a clean, dated PDF packet — welder profile, every WPQ card, continuity history per process, and attached report photos — ready to hand a new employer or email ahead of a job.
• Code Reference & Reminders — Plain-language reference for the AWS D1.1, ASME IX QW-322, and ISO 9606 continuity rules, plus configurable reminders at 30/14/7 days before any process clock expires.

Why we built it

Under ASME IX QW-322 and AWS D1.1, a welder performance qualification lapses after 6 months without welding that process, but the continuity log proving activity is kept by the employer's QC department. Welders who change jobs walk away with no portable record of their WPQs or continuity, and quals on lesser-used proc…

What makes it different

Every incumbent sells to the employer, not the welder: WeldTrace gates continuity auto-tracking behind company PLUS/PRO plans, Welder Qualification Tracker (WQT) is company-subscription expiry alerting, WeldNote is enterprise WPS/PQR/WPQ management for engineering teams, and AWS WeldCert Pro ($105/yr) only covers the…

Who it's for

People who have tried every productivity app and bounced off the noise. If you want something calm, fast, and private, this is for you.
