Accurate Weld Testing Lab

Took my 3G vertical welding test here last week and although I didn’t pass that time, I’m going to try again today. The staff was pretty nice and when they told me I didn’t pass, the weld inspector found my piece and told me over the phone what I did wrong and what I need to do next time. Apparently the root pass was good, but my second pass didn’t tie in to the base metal enough and it cracked when they bent it. That was one of the sections they tested, apparently they test two parts and one passed the bending test and the other failed. Like I said, the staff was nice and they gave me my metal and booth and let me get to work. They let me bring a grinder with a wire wheel which I highly recommend because it is much faster to grind off slag rather than chipping it by hand. Bring a pick as well to remove slag in small crevices!
