This session will explore how to look at weldments and/or surface finishes that conform with 3-A Sanitary Standards. Main topics include inspecting examples of undercut, underfill, too much build up, too much penetration, lack of penetration, heavy grain, gouges, and other factors. We will go from the start of the fabrication/welding process to help you understand why these types of mistakes happen throughout the fabrication/welding process and how to prevent them. Examples will cover welding and polishing of sheet and tubing, the use of purge welding and orbital welding.
