Olympus Launches Instrument Rental Program
Olympus NDT, Waltham, Mass., recently began an
instrument rental program in the United States. The
equipment available for rent includes flaw detectors,
videoscopes, thickness gauges, high-speed video cameras,
and X-ray fluorescence analyzers.
Products can be rented for a day or for months with a rentto-purchase option. According to the company, the benefits of
renting include receiving the latest equipment, customers can
rent the instruments they are familiar with and therefore avoid
the learning curve they might experience with an unknown
instrument, assurance the equipment is in top condition, and
since they are renting direct from the manufacturer, customers
also have technical support and application expertise available.
Additional information is available at (281) 922-9300 or
send an e-mail to _________________

Reader Comments on
National Testing Requirements
In the Spring (April) 2011 issue, one
of the questions in The Answer Is
section on page 34 is
Q: Is there any national requirement
to perform both radiography and bend
testing on welder qualification tests?
My comment is that AWS D1.5,
Bridge Welding Code, Clause 12
(12.8.2), requires bend tests and
radiography for initial qualification of
welders and operators performing
fracture-critical complete joint
penetration groove welds.
This may not fall under the national
requirement definition, but it is an AWS
Code requirement for fracture-critical
nonredundant members.

Fig. 1 These two photos illustrate properly placed and used personal fall-arrest
systems.
Despite special emphasis programs
from the Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) and
increasingly sophisticated fallprotection equipment, falls from heights
remain a serious occupational safety
challenge.
Falls from ladders and roofs still
account for the majority of falls.
Occupational fatalities caused by falls
remain a serious public health problem.
The U.S. Department of Labor lists
falls as one of the leading causes of
traumatic occupational death,
accounting for 8% of all occupational
fatalities from trauma.
Identifying fall hazards and
deciding how best to protect workers is
the first step in reducing or eliminating
fall hazards. OSHA mandates that at
any time a worker is at a height of 4 ft
or more, the worker is at risk and needs
to be protected. Fall protection must be
provided at 4 ft in general industry, 5 ft
in maritime, and 6 ft in construction.
14
Protecting Workers
There are a number of ways to
protect workers from falls, including
guardrail systems, safety net systems,
and personal fall-arrest systems (PFAS)
(fall-arrest systems, positioning
systems, and travel restraint systems)
as well as through the use of safe work
practices and training Fig. 1. OSHA
permits the use of warning lines,
designated areas, control zones, and
similar systems in some situations and
can provide protection by limiting the
number of workers exposed and
instituting safe work methods and
procedures. These alternative systems
may be more appropriate than
conventional fall protection systems
when performing certain activities.
Whether conducting a hazard
assessment or developing a
comprehensive fall-protection plan,
thinking about fall hazards before the

Importance of Good
Reporting
Third-party inspectors have a great
responsibility, and are often exposed to
great liability. It is important to
remember that the TPIs reports will
often become legal exhibits in
contemporary product acceptability
negotiations (i.e., Certificate of
Occupancy Review or operational
readiness review) and especially in the
event of future litigation. Good TPI
organizations will have a supervisory
group that monitors the field
inspectors activities and reviews their
paperwork submittals.
Be sure to review your own
reports before signing and sending
them. I have reviewed many inspection
reports including my own and
found myself cringing at the spelling,
sentence structure, punctuation,
handwriting, and general lack of
comprehensive information. I often
wonder why the inspector didnt use a
dictionary or the spell check capability
on his or her computer. Even with spell
check, words like from and form or
whole and hole will not be corrected.
Thats because they arent misspelled,
just used incorrectly. Why give an
attorney the chance to belittle you on
the stand, intimidate you, or put you on
the defensive over spelling and basic
English language sentence structure? If
the attorney can fluster you, it reduces
your credibility as a professional.
Remember, if you are on the stand,
even just to testify to what you wrote
or what you inspected, you are most
likely already in some sort of trouble.
And even if you are not in court, and
the reviewer is the Department of
Transportation engineer (who may be
the customer you are ultimately

A Closer Look
As outlined previously, a T-joint is
skewed when the stem of the T has a
dihedral angle greater than 100 deg
(obtuse angle) or less than 80 deg (acute
angle) between the two members.
Therefore, a dihedral angle between 80
and 100 deg would not be considered
skewed and would follow the design and
sizing criteria of a 90-deg T-joint (see

Conclusion
The mentioned previously, the skills
necessary to verify sizing in skewed Tjoint fillet welds are becoming important
in structural weld inspection due to the
increased use of seismic design criteria.
As a result, CWIs are encountering more
welded diagonal bracing in structures
than ever before. Many of our CWIs
have not been qualified on their CWI
hands-on exam to demonstrate their
ability to measure and verify skewed Tjoint fillet welds. This will be changing
in the near future as an updated Part B
hands-on exam is being developed to
keep up with the changing skill
requirements of CWIs.
