The Greater New York Welding Chapter (GNYWC) provides a variety of useful resources and industry updates to members. As a member of the chapter, you have access to over 100 welding and brazing procedure specifications (WPSs and BPSs) that are qualified to ASME Section IX and are available for immediate use on piping without further qualifications. Members also have access to the certifications of the welders that have been tested and qualified to these procedures. Testing has been standardized and test information is stored in a national database, making it easy to find a welder. These qualifications can easily be interchanged from one member contractor to another to save time and money.
