Welding machines are crucial tools in various industries, ensuring the integrity and strength of welded joints. To maintain their efficiency and accuracy, two important processes are carried out is calibration and validation. While often used interchangeably, these terms represent difference procedures in ensuring the reliability and precision of welding machines.

Calibration:

Calibration involves adjusting and verifying the accuracy of welding machine settings and parameters against a known standard. It ensures that the machine performs consistently and accurately.

Process: During calibration, precise measurements and adjustments are made to align the machine’s output with established standards. This may include adjusting voltage, current, wire feed speed, gas flow rate, etc.
Purpose: Calibration ensures that the welding machine operates within specified tolerances, minimizing deviations and errors in the welding process.
Frequency: Calibration is typically performed regularly, according to manufacturer recommendations or industry standards, to maintain the machine’s accuracy over time.

Validation:

Validation assesses the overall performance and capability of the welding machine to consistently produce welds that meet predetermined quality criteria.

Process: Validation involves testing the welding machine under various operating conditions and evaluating its ability to produce welds that meet

specified quality standards. This may include testing weld bead appearance, penetration depth, strength of the welding machines.
Purpose: Validation ensures that the welding machine is capable of consistently producing welds of acceptable quality, meeting the requirements of relevant codes, standards, or customer specifications and provide certificates.
Frequency: Validation is typically conducted initially upon installation or after significant modifications to the machine. Periodic revalidation may also be necessary to ensure continued compliance with quality standards of the welding machines.

Calibration and Validation are both essential for maintaining the reliability and performance of welding machines, they serve distinct purposes. Calibration focuses on adjusting and verifying machine settings to ensure accuracy, while validation evaluates the machine’s capability to consistently produce quality welds. Both processes are essential for maintaining quality standards and achieving reliable welds. At WELDMART we are committed to providing superior calibration and validation services and certificate to meet the evolving needs of the welding industry.
