What IronKit generates

Every required section of an AWS D1.1 WPS

AWS D1.1 §4 and Annex M specify exactly what a WPS must contain. IronKit hits every required field and references the relevant clause — so the document is defensible when a CWI or owner asks "where'd this come from?"

WPS sections IronKit generates automatically:

1. WPS Header BlockWPS number, revision, date, supporting PQR reference, governing code, process, and method
2. Base MetalSpec/grade, thickness range, AWS material group or ASME P-number, code grouping clause
3. Joint DesignGroove type, geometry, included angle, root opening, root face, backing — with applicable code figure reference
4. Filler MetalAWS classification, F-number, diameter, flux (if SAW), electrode storage requirements for low-hydrogen electrodes per §7.3.2
5. Positions QualifiedEach qualified position (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, fillet positions) with progression and code coverage clause
6. Preheat & InterpassMin preheat, max interpass, measurement method, PWHT requirements if applicable — with Table 3.2 references
7. Electrical CharacteristicsPass/layer table: electrode diameter, polarity, amps, volts, travel speed, calculated heat input (kJ/in)
8. TechniqueString vs weave, max weave width, pass sequence, interpass cleaning, back gouging requirements, oscillation
9. Shielding GasComposition, flow rate (CFH), backing gas, contact tip-to-work distance — or "Not Applicable" for SMAW/FCAW-S
10. Sign-Off BlockPrepared By / Reviewed By / Approved By — Name, Title, Certification #, Date, Signature (blank fields for pen)
Process support

Works for every common welding process

Select your process from the dropdown. Shielding gas sections appear or disappear automatically. Electrode storage requirements, heat input calculations, and technique guidance adjust per process.

Supported processes

  • SMAW — Shielded Metal Arc (stick)
  • GMAW — Gas Metal Arc (MIG)
  • GTAW — Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG)
  • FCAW — Flux Cored Arc (gas-shielded)
  • FCAW-S — Self-Shielded Flux Cored
  • SAW — Submerged Arc
  • MCAW — Metal Cored Arc

Governing codes

  • AWS D1.1 — Structural Steel
  • AWS D1.2 — Aluminum
  • AWS D1.6 — Stainless Steel
  • ASME Section IX — Pressure Vessels
  • API 1104 — Pipelines
Heat input calculated automatically: Enter your amps, volts, and travel speed — IronKit calculates heat input in kJ/in using the standard formula (V × A × 60) ÷ (travel speed × 1000) and puts it in the electrical characteristics table. No manual math.
How it works

From blank form to signed WPS in 5 minutes

No training, no template setup. Fill the fields you have, get the document.

1

Select process and code

Pick your welding process (SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW…) and governing code (AWS D1.1, ASME IX, API 1104). The form adjusts — shielding gas fields appear for gas-shielded processes.

2

Enter base metal and filler

Type your base metal spec (A36, A572-50, 304SS…) and AWS filler classification (E7018, ER70S-6, E71T-1…). Add thickness range, positions, and joint description.

3

Add electrical parameters

Enter amps, volts, polarity, and travel speed range. IronKit calculates heat input in kJ/in and populates the electrical characteristics table for you.

4

Generate and print

Hit "Generate WPS Document." In under 60 seconds you have a complete, formatted WPS. Print it, copy it, or share a link. Your WPS is saved to your account.

Common questions

AWS D1.1 WPS questions, answered

Does IronKit generate WPS documents that comply with AWS D1.1?

Yes. IronKit's WPS Generator produces complete Weld Procedure Specifications formatted per AWS D1.1 Annex M — including all required sections: base metal, filler metal, joint design, positions qualified, preheat and interpass temperatures, electrical characteristics, technique parameters, shielding gas, and a sign-off block. The output includes relevant clause references for each section.

What welding processes does the WPS Generator support?

IronKit supports SMAW, GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), FCAW, FCAW-S (self-shielded), SAW, and MCAW. Shielding gas fields appear or disappear automatically based on your process selection.

Does it work for ASME Section IX and API 1104 as well?

Yes. In addition to AWS D1.1 (structural steel), IronKit generates WPS documents for ASME Section IX (pressure vessels and boilers) and API 1104 (pipelines). Select the governing code from the form dropdown — the output format and clause references adjust accordingly.

Can I save and reuse WPS documents?

Yes. Every WPS you generate is saved to your IronKit account. You can reload any saved WPS, print it as a PDF, copy the full text, or share it via a secure link. Trial accounts can generate up to 3 WPS documents per month. Paid accounts get unlimited WPS generation.
