And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

that's why they pressure test them after. that and liquid soap. it's part of the job. if you had ever done that then you would know. you cant learn a trade from sitting on a couch. it's hard and dirty, but has to be done without bitchen. my hat's off to the guy for going the extra mile.
I watched a welder welding on a multi pass superheat coil in a steam methane reformer once. He was hanging upside down, welding on the back side of the pipe away from him watching the bead in a mirror held by his pipe fitter. Weld passed 100% Xray and hydro test.
That's why he gets the big bucks.

DeleteHe ought to stick that stinger in the pipe layout mans butt. High chance of a bad weld and a good chance of a dangerous leak.

ReplyDeleteWatching somebody who knows what he's doing is a fading joy. In the '40s old guys used to stand behind a fence and watch the construction guys.
