Welding Inspection

Welding is a field which is experiencing a good amount of growth recently. With an increasing number of welders needed to work on projects, there needs to be a greater number or welding inspectors to inspect their work.

Welding inspectors are assigned to one project and oversee the project from start to finish. While the project is being worked on, the welding inspector is responsible for inspecting all the welding work that occurs. This means that a typical day as a welding inspector is spent going from point to point at a work site and inspecting work that has been completed.

Because the welding inspector is responsible for the quality of the welding on the whole project, the stability and success of a project is dependent on how well the welding inspector does

Welding inspectors generally use their eyes to determine the strength of a weld. Under certain circumstances, however, inspectors will use other tools. This includes x-rays to view the inside of deep welds. This will help the inspector visualize whether a weld is solid throughout or if there are inconsistencies under the surface. In general though, welding inspectors rely on their eyes and their knowledge of welding to help them determine whether a bond is solid or not.

Since the safety and stability of the project is dependent on this inspection, there is a great deal of responsibility placed on welding inspectors.
