Welding Testing and Welding Engineering Services

The economy is welded together

According to the American Welding Society, over 50 percent of the U.S. gross national product can be associated with welded or bonded products.

As technology advances, these products become more  technically complex, but it's still possible to find one source of engineering expertise to conduct weld testing and inspection programs for each of these industries: construction, electronics, power generation, petrochemicals, materials development, automotive, aerospace and hydrospace, robotics, national defense industries, and more.

Stork Certified Weld Inspectors (CWI) and Certified Weld Engineers (CWEng)

Stork laboratories maintain CWI and CWEng-certified staff experienced in all aspects of ferrous, nonferrous, polymer properties and welding requirements. Our range of weld testing services includes:
  • Welder Training and Procedure Qualification in ASME and AWS welding codes and TÜV/PED requirements.
  • Development of Weld Procedures to meet client specifications and all applicable codes, with in-house machining.
