Abstract :
A statistical process control tool is described that provides weld quality control and documentation by implementing techniques of data trending analysis, tolerance analysis, and sequential analysis. The SPC tool has been used in combination with an arc data acquisition and monitoring system for industrial weld quality assurance. Rules have also been developed for providing equipment/materials diagnostic assistance based on observations of the SPC control chart trends
