Pressure Welder’s Test

 

Pressure Weld testing is available to individuals that hold or have held a pressure welder’s license acceptable to TSASK. If you have never had a pressure welder's ticket, please refer to "Initial Pressure Welder's Test" in the menu on the left.

Standard tests in our controlled facilities in Saskatoon/Regina cover:

• BPVS-1: SMAW/SMAW, F3/F4, P1-P1, 6G, 2 Inch XXS pipe
• BPVS-2: GTAW/SMAW, F6/F5, P1-P1, 6.G, 2 Inch XXS pipe
• BPVS-3: GTAW/SMAW, F43/F43, P1-P1, 6G, 2 Inch XXS pipe
• BPVS-4: GTAW/SMAW, F6/F4, P1-P1, 6G, 2 Inch XXS pipe    

You are welcome to test other special processes, as long as the WPS is registered with TSASK. To do this, you would check off "other" on your application form. Please note that you will need to supply a copy of the WPS with your application.

Test coupons can be purchased from TSASK or self-supplied. If you supply your own test coupon, it's dimensions must meet the ones in the drawing below:

Your license will be issued once you have passed the test. The license will be valid for two years, is un-restricted and can be transferred to other jurisdictions of Canada.

If you do not pass your pressure test, you will need to re-book your test for another pressure weld session. Same day re-tests cannot be accommodated.
