My 100% Tig welding pipe welding project for a high pressure system for work, and Tig welding flange to pipe. Every joint is ex-rayed after completion before I move to the next section. I've not failed ex-ray for any of my weld joints because I take pride in every single weld I perform. I get complements almost every day by independent CWIs that come in and inspect or welds because they say my welds look like they were done by a machine. I love what I do and I'm a true Perfectionist at my trade.
