To check butt welding, you typically follow a procedure that includes visual inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT), and destructive testing if necessary. Start with a visual inspection to identify surface defects like cracks or gaps. Then, employ NDT methods such as ultrasonic testing (UT) or radiographic testing (RT) to assess the internal integrity of the weld. If further analysis is needed, a destructive test, such as tensile or bend testing, may be performed on a sample of the welded joint.
Yes, the procedure and specifications are covered in the AREMA (American Railway Engineering and Maintenance Association) manual Chapter 4.

No butts about it....Butt fusion is a method of welding plastic pipe ends together. Ans 2 - NOT recommended for the amateur !
WPS is welding procedure specification while PQR is procedure qualification records is all about welding and denotes design when it comes to WPS and Mechanical testing of the design when it comes to PQR. WPS is the design of welding joint, process of welding, welding position, steel shape and material symmetry, speed of welding, welding electrodes and filler and many more welding parameters while PQR is a complimentary to WPS. PQR will be the one to be tested mechanically and will finally validate if the WPS viable design of welding.

A Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) is a formal document describing http://www.answers.com/topic/welding procedures. According to the http://www.answers.com/topic/american-welding-society-1 (AWS), a WPS provides in detail the required welding variables for specific application to assure http://www.answers.com/topic/repeatability by properly trained http://www.answers.com/topic/welder and welding operators. The American Society For Mechanical Engineers (ASME) similarly defines Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) as a written document that provides direction to the welder or welding operator for making production welds in accordance with Code requirements.
They are used for welding to hold 2 parts together end-end.
