Non-destructive examination on each welded splice and member. Each preliminary inspection consisted of performing 3 Nondestructive tasks. I would begin each inspection by first conducting a visual examination around the entire 48 inch pipe. I would inspect
the weld profiles for cracks, weld base metal fusion, Cross Crater fill (Under-fill) undersized welds, undercut and porosity. If during my inspection I found a weld discontinuity I would reference the weld profile to Clause 6 Table 6.1 of the AWS D1.1. My Non-destructive inspections consisted of both Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic examinations on the groove welds to AWS D1.1 code Clause 6 Table 6.2 UT Acceptance-Rejection Criteria for Statically Loaded Connections. After completing my visual inspection, I would follow up by first calibrating the Ultrasonic tester using an IIW Block Type 1 for distance, sensitivity, and resolution.

I would complete my final second phase of my inspection by conducting Lamination check using a straight beam transducer scanning 6 inches on either side of the weld joint ensuring there were no disturbances to the Heat Affect zone (HAZ).
The third and final phase of my inspection was Magnetic Particle. This inspection entailed calibrating a DC Yoke using a 10 pound weight and inspecting the entire circumferential spliced (welded) area for undercut along the toes of the weld.

Position CWI/NDT Inspector
(Location) Jalalabad Afghanistan
In Support of Operation Enduring Freedom (O.E.F.)
I conduct continuous visual inspection on the welding for the Mine Resistance Ambush
Protection (MRAP) MSU vehicle. This was a mission in support of US Army Operation enduring
Freedom (O.E.F.). These vehicle upgrades improved the chances of Soldiers surviving and cut
down on the casualty rate when US Soldiers encounter I.E.D. (Improvised Explosive Devices)
on routine convey patrols outside the wire. The task of each inspection consisted of 2 Nondestructive Methods Visual and Magnetic Particle (Yoke Method). I would begin each inspection by first visually examining each weld profiles for cracks, weld base metal fusion, Cross Crater fill (Under-fill) undersized welds, undercut and porosity. If during my inspection I found a weld discontinuity I would reference the weld profile to Clause 6 Table 6.1 of the AWS D1.1.
The second phase consisted of Magnetic Particle examination. I would start out with each
inspection by first calibrating the equipment. I would perform Magnetic Particle inspection using
Magna-Flux Y-1 yoke. I would perform daily calibrations on equipment. I would monitor preheat
And inter-pass temperature and verify Volts and Amps are with-in the parameters of the WPS. I
Would assist in resolving and providing solutions to problems. I would re- write new WPS’s to
meet the codes compliance. I would certify new personnel (welders) to code standards due to
high turn-over rate. This was due to constant attack from incoming mortar and Rocket
Propelled Grenade creating Stressful situations for new personnel.
San Bernardino Valley College 8/96 to 12/2012
701 S. Mount Vernon Ave. 17 Years as a Welding Instructor
San Bernardino, Ca. 92410
Department Chair/CWI
I work as a welding instructor for 17 years instructing students on fundamentals of welding process. This process consisted from Oxyacetylene (gas welding) to Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding, (GMAW), Flux Cord Arc Welding (FCAW) and (TIG) Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. I would write up Weld procedures and perform mechanical tests for welder Certification for ASME Sec IX, API 1104, for AWS and Los Angeles department of building and safety. I would also conduct Procedure Qualification Report (Procedure mechanical testing) for local companies in the area.
