I have to do my PCN level 2 visual re-certification tomorrow. I have had this dropped on me at the last minute and haven't had much time to prepare. Has anyone took this recently and know whats involved? I remember the original exam to get the cert was a total PITA!
Yes it is quite a lot to take in at first, i now spend a lot more time in the office than i used too. One of the things that takes up a lot of my time is doing the data packs for our customer after the job is complete. Hopefully we will be moving to a digital system soon so that will speed...
We have just finished our first year surveillance audits with no problems. Our company has benefited a lot from the CE marking as we have a few excellent new customers on board who all have full order books. The past year has been quite a challenge as we are only a very small company the amount...
Yes we are still stuck in the dark ages as far as drawings are concerned. Though some of our customers that have the all singing Cad packages still manage to produce terrible drawings, they have a habit of giving you all the dimensions you don't need and none of the ones that matter!
Thank you...
Does anyone know of a formula for working out dimensions A and B on the attached drawing. As we don't use CAD at our works i can't just put it into the computer to get the dimensions!
Center line radius is 2500mm, angle is 70° and the chord length is 2867.9mm, i just can't find anything to help...
The SG2 is - EN ISO 14341:2008-A-GS3Si1 / AWS A5.18-01:ER70S-6
The SG3 is - EN ISO 14341:2008-A-G42 3 M21 3Si1 / AWS A5.18-01:ER70S-6
On our WPQR it does say SG2 or equivalents, so i'm guessing that would cover us?
I am currently getting prepared for our next 1090 surveillance visit. I have ordered some spools of mig wire and they are SG3, now all our weld procedures were done with SG2 wire, will this be a problem? I would imagine that the heat inputs wouldn't change to much between the two wires, or am i...
I'll have to look up the serial number tomorrow. The models were-
1 off Lorch S8 with the full software package
1 off Lorch S5 with pretty much the full software package
2 off Lorch 350 Micor MIG, these are pretty much brand new, one is less than two weeks old. One of these sets will have the...
I'm not sure if this is in the right section and i know its a long shot but.....
During the Easter weekend our workshop was targeted by thieves. Though they didn't get away with everything what they did take cost a small firm like ours a lot of money.
If other fabrication and welding...
Well in line with the regulations if your not coded your not a welder. I doubt people will be wanting pay rises, i think they will be grateful enough to still have a job.
When i used to weld i started with a Optrel satellite which was good but the outer lenses where expensive and a pain to get hold of. I then went to a Miller elite and can honestly say that it was the best mask i ever used.
Ok, if anyone is interested.............
As a welding co-ordinator you need to have your PCN Welding Inspector level 2. I thought it would be easy as pie bit it is far from that.Its a lot to remember in just a week, luckily I've had a very good tutor. I have my exam on Monday (6 1/4 hours) so...
