Abstract: A method of determining a welding process parameter for an object comprises subjecting a specimen removed from the object to a controlled specimen welding process, measuring a property of the specimen, and determining a welding process parameter associated with the object from the measured specimen property and the controlled specimen welding process. In one disclosed embodiment the method permits the determination of a welding process parameter of a full scale pipe by use of a specimen removed from the pipe, or a similar pipe.
