Visual Weld Inspections, Before, During, and After

Unfortunately, many involved in the development, procurement, and execution of QA/QC programs do not fully understand what is involved in order to leverage visual weld inspection to the greatest extent. Visual inspection of structural steel welding is often misconstrued as part of non-destructive testing (NDT). NDT testing of structural steel in most circumstances is done at the end of the fabrication or erection processes. On the other hand, proper visualRead More →
