Pressure Welders

The Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) is responsible to ensure safety by regulating the welding and brazing of boilers, pressure vessels, fittings and pressure piping systems in the province of Saskatchewan.

TSASK oversees the issuance of qualification tests and the licensing of pressure welders and brazers in accordance with Part II of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regulations set out by the Government of Saskatchewan. Please click here to download the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Regulations.

What is Welding?

Welding is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by using high heat to melt the parts together and allowing them to cool, causing fusion.

What is Brazing?

Brazing is a metal-joining process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the adjoining metal.
