I might want to certify

admin

Whats the cheapest way?  Something simple like a 3G T,,, ha  Most people dont know one from another.  Its been 30 yersa since I test and it was always at someone else expense, Bechtel, American Bridge and some smaller outfits but I never pay for one myself.  I wonder if our state has them,,, hawww.urkafarms.com
Reply:Typically the company you work for pays for test. What type of welding are you doing you need a certification?Dave

Reply:Depends on what you are looking for.  Our scrap yard used to x-ray welds PSC metals, not sure they still do they have returned my calls.  Call local AWS chapter they likely can refer you to somebody.
Reply:It was in California the shop was the one that ok a welder till North Ridge earthquake. When I was business they still let some types of manufacturing do there own welding inspections.  Like door manufacturer's 🚪.  Dave
