Welding test

[Brad93]

I didn't know you could have to much penetration

The weird thing is that one of the staff doing the test was a qualified welder who worked for crane fruehauf building trailers in the past.

That doesn’t surprise me, have you seen the welding on cranes.

We need pictures of the welds and a copy of the NDT report

Over penetration is a big no no in pipe fabs and in other places would indicate the welder is perhaps unaware of what he is doing. I certainly wouldn't give credibility to a guy that was welding trailers, some of the worst welding seen is in the automotive industry.Take a good look at some of the pressed steel/fabricated wishbones

Another mate of mine Glen worked in the fuel tanker department and he's often told me about welding the tanks laying on a platform while the tank rotated underneath and losing concentration and found he had wondered off the joint by 6 inches.
