All the times that I've been x-rayed I've never got to see this process and this makes me feel a whole lot better take the edge off of things knowing this thanks for sharing this

I got the chance to hang out with QC and X-Ray guys early in my welding career. I really believe it helped me to be a better welder faster. Mostly because the uncertainty of what they were looking for, and understanding the tolerances, helped me to just relax and weld. Your doing a great service to all of us, with your content. Really appreciate it, Thank You.

Im 71 now and miss pipe welding and all the good old boys i worked with. Enjoy it while you can. The time goes by so fast .

My daughter graduates HS in May, and is enrolled in Western Welding Academy in Gillette, Wyoming in August. We watch your vids together, regularly, and very much enjoy the entertainment and education…. Thanks for your channel and content.

Does your pancake lens flash when you grind?

@gustavojr841

Yes, a little bit.. I have the sensitivity set on 0, so it gives me a little chance to see while grinding

I enjoyed the behind the scenes...I don't know why ..but during the x-ray I always stress..

Noob question, I know... Why bother starting at a lower amperage and then increase it? Always seemed to work better, for me, starting at a higher amperage and then decreasing it (easier starts).

In the beat? I actually decreased the amps when i started the beat.. it was a little bit too hot, but it worked out pretty well..I always set my machine on 65 but it was a little cold morning and this SA-200 tend to be a little hot in the mornings.. should have put it on 60 amps to start

En el botón de abajo vas a capear lo más que puedas de primer lado donde empieces para que cuando vengas de otro lado te montes en la capeada y así puedas dejar un botón abultado.. la verda quiera que pudieran ver mientras weldeo pero es muy difícil grabar eso..

I don't think so because they have to turn in every film of each weld to the company that hires them, so I don't think they are going to put their jobs on the line just for a bad weld.. just think about it.. imagine a bad weld blows up, they are going investigate who did that bad weld and also who X-ray that weld.. that's the whole point of X-ray, to prove that every weld is going to hold that pressure

@@gustavojr841 I was thinking more of flunking a good weld with the hope of taking more pictures and making more money. Like a factory where they think more will attempt the test if they fail a few. I was involved where this was pondered by me and the company I worked for. They wouldn't return the coupon or show the pass or fail. The coupon due to radiation but why not show the fail?
