    AWS Sub-Arc Essential Variables

    Thanks weldtek, I did not see the requirement in D1.1 either. Our WPS is qualified to AWS standards, not ASME or API, so I would expect the reviewer is used to seeing the flux type distinguished on WPS qualified to other codes and automatically expects it to be included on all WPS.

    AWS Sub-Arc Essential Variables

    A customer is rejecting our SAW procedure based on the fact that we do not list whether the flux is active or neutral. We are using an EM12K electrode (wire feed) with an F7A2 flux. Thus the electrode flux classification is F7A2-EM12K-H8 in accordance with AWS A5.17. The person who reviewed...

    FE preparation

    Nice, hey I'm in the same boat as you . . . been out for 2 years and in retrospect I should have taken the FE while in school. I actually started a thread about it in another section because I didn't realize there was an "Improving Myself to Get Ahead . . ." section. The moderators deleted my...

    Resume Inflation

    HR SHOULD check references for any resume that is put in the stack of 'qualified' candidates, because quite frankly, of the hundreds of resumes received how many actually get placed in the 'qualified' stack? It is surprising to me that the diploma mills were active in 1990 . . . that seems...

    Resume Inflation

    From my limited perspective I have a difficult time putting anything on a resume that might be taken out of context or believed to be something greater than what it was. I have a hard time putting 3 semesters of graduate school as education because I didn't finish the degree, though I have been...

    H-Beam Metric to W-Beam Imperial Conversion

    Ah, I see, that's why every time I searched for H-beams it came up with Japanese beams and manufacturers . . . it makes sense now. So if these are not typically rolled steel sections, then I guess we could possibly fab them, but that's a lot of welding . . . I'll have to see what we can do on...

    H-Beam Metric to W-Beam Imperial Conversion

    My company is bidding a project in which the structural material is all metric. We are used to working in 'American' units (Imperial), and do not have a good source for metric materials, so I would like to be able to find the equivalent Imperial sizes needed. The sizes are called out as thus...
