Structural and Pipe Welding Test Tips – Welding Certification Tests
Welding Certification is a big deal. Jobs that Require welding like Nuclear Plants, Bridge construction, Aerospace, petro/chemical usually require a welder to pass a welding certification test before welding on anything.
Ask questions before the test begins so that you will be clear on the expectations of the test supervisor
get permission first, but try to get a piece of scrap metal to weld on so that you can get used to the equipment and to set the welding machine before you light up on the real deal.
Do they need to be certified too?
Technically, No. But I have a suggestion for anyone anywhere that welds anything that matters… where if the weld fails, someone will get hurt or die:.
This could be handlebars for a chopper, a bike rack for the back of a Jeep, a landscape trailer, or a deer stand. (All of which could kill someone if the welds failed). The next best thing to certifying a welder is to destructively test the weld.
Lets use the chopper handlebars for an example. Obviously, you cant destroy every weld you make but what if you were to weld up a mock up set of handlebars just to prove the weld settings? Wouldn’t it be worth the price of the tubing just to have confidence in the welds?.
By welding a mock-up set of handlebars using some extra tubing of the same exact material type and thickness and then, taking the mock-up handlebars out back and beating the hell out of them with a BFH (big freakin hammer) you would have a pretty good idea on the soundness of the welds. If the welds broke, oh well, at least you weren’t going around a curve at 90 mph. Back to the drawing board until you find out what went wrong.
