WELD TESTING

The IMR Weld Testing Department is staffed across all three locations with six AWS CWIs, including one Senior Certified Weld Inspector at our Portland, OR location. Our weld testing group is supported by a complete machine shop, mechanical testing group, a full chemistry department and a metallurgical group that is experienced in all facets of weld technology, weld evaluation, weld qualification, weld procedure and failure analysis on plate, pipe and sheet welds. 

We offer quick turn-around, often as little as 3 days.  We also pride ourselves on having accessible, knowledgeable experts available to you.  Our weld testing reports are clear and concise and recognized for high quality through the industry. 

We carry weld testing approvals from many major manufacturers, and have successfully passed numerous NQA-1 audits.  We have PED approval from Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company and our Portland facility carries OBOA, WABO and City of Portland weld testing approvals.  See our accreditations page.
