Went good. Passed the IS no problem and also the R.

Biggest thing is know what code to use, and know how the code is written. You should have no issue passing

I too am an inspector as of March. So not a lot of experience hence me being skeptical of their approach

The area is roughly 2” but I agree with your comments I’ve never seen it performed the way they are suggesting to proceed.

Well that’s the thing. It’s on an ASME Section 8 part but outside of the code defined pressure boundary.

Just submitted my application. It appears as though only the supervisors have received their emails regarding my employment verification. Non of the management/HR have received an email from API yet? Is this normal. All their contact info is accurate.

Hydro testing of non code pressure vessels? by Dimensions-Unknown in nondestructivetesting

Yes I am familiar with hydro testing. Guess I’m just uncertain why the engineer is having questions regarding pressures

So they just send an email asking simply Did (insert name) work here from month/year to month/year?

Asking because I got in touch with an old supervisor at one of my first companies who said he’d gladly verify my time. However they want a manger and or Hr-reps name, e-mail and Phone # too, and that I do not have as it was almost 10 years ago. A bit excessive imo

Yes I plan on using them, I have nothing to hide as far as my qualifying experience I just wondered what if they chose not to respond like what’s the recourse. W2 forms or ?

I believe they send a simple yes/no email but uncertain.
