The B 31.3 Beta TEst was given. Please check with Mr. Peter Howe at the AWS Certification Department for information as to when the examination will be available.

Hey Joe! No offense but, I think jnlusk's referring to something other than the CWI exam...
I'm guessing here but, I believe jnlusk's asking whether or not being D1.1 certified is acceptable for welding on work that is covered by ASME section IX - B31.3.

Btw, how are things out there in the Island of Long? I hope everything is well.

Respectfully,
Henry

You're Right!

I must have had my head up and locked when I answered that?!?!

Now I am stationed in Lynchburg Virginia inspecting the new World Trade Center column fabrication. I am also spending some time in Chesapeake Virginia, where I am inspecting Re-Bar assemblies for the JFK Yellow Garage.

No need to apologize there Joe!
I think we all do that every once in a rare while... After all, the last time I checked we were humans and you know the rest better than myself!

It's real good to read how busy things are for you... I'm glad you're inspecting the columns as a fellow New Yorker! Not to say that anyone else would not be able to do just as good of a job... It's just a local pride type of thing for me to have someone from the "Empire State" doing the inspecting is what I'm proud about and only wish I had the oppportunity to be a part of the ressurection of the NEW WORLD TRADE CENTER!

Joe, I'm going to send you a PM with some questions regarding the NYSCM welding exam and if you have some time to read it and possibly give me an answer at your convenience, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and give'em hell Joe!

Respectfully,
Henry

Lynchburg is a good town. Worked out of there for 3 years.

Yup, I agree, Lynchburg is a really good town, I've been working out of there since 1965(that would be all of my life, in case you're wondering).... :-)

It will depend on what was welded, pipe, plate or pipe and plate. B31.3 references section IX which requires initial qualification based on material, welding process, and thickness. Some companies will allow destructive test papers from another company but require an initial test by radiography.
