The salient features are:
1. Simple, classic & user friendly interface
2. Welding procedures for materials in P.No.1 to P.No.5
3. Enlists all basic applicable welding requirements:
- Preheat temperature (min.)
- Filler wire
- Electrode
- Interpass temperature (min.)
- Post Weld Heat Treatment
4. Welding of dissimilar materials also in P.No.1 to P.No.5.
5. In compliance with ASME B31.3 - Process Piping
6. Only three inputs required - Material1, Material2, Thickness
7. No specific technical inputs asked from user
8. Free for everybody

The intent of its launch is to provide a quick reference to Project and Inspection Engineers on welding. Engineers belonging to other disciplines like Process, Machinery, Electrical & Instrumentation can also get some benefit if to look after any welding job sometime.

guys you are doing excellent work. please please please also produce some free software for chemical and process engineering. and consider me available for your disposal regarding this.

Three words are describing this software very well.:
Accurate, Smart & User-Friendly

It is and excellent step towards simplifying the welding situations, specially for dissimilar metals welding.
I tested all the combinations for authenticity and the WeldShop proved to be 100% code compliant. Thumbs Up !!
All the best and hope to see its scope extension for cast irons, stainless steels and Ni alloys in later versions.

Ibrahim,
Thanks for the comments.
We highly regard your suggestions and are already working upon other engineering disciplines also. You know developing engineering softwares is a very serious business and we are the team of Engineers only, no support being taken by any Software Development Company at the moment.
Only for the beta release of 'WeldShop' for selected materials, we worked upon each and every detail, consulted codes & standards, gathered experience of our fellow engineers with the intention that our product shall be error free.
We will be following the same lines for our upcoming softwares also and appreciate that you volunteered.

Keep visiting us for much more to come.

Qaisar,
Appreciation is the key to motivation.
Your nice words will pay back us for all the efforts we put in launching 'WeldShop'.
Thanks for testing it in full and declaring it 100% code compliant.

Working on pro version and will keep you posted.

Great Effort by Petrostreet team.
