This individual came to site after I rejected some TOFD data for having a bad cable. We held a meeting where he agreed with me and that is minuted. Then he went back to his office and wrote a report that supported the contractor (his client) and said nothing needed to be done. 2 of these welds had 8mm ID mismatch. The rest had severe electrical interference due ot the bad cable and needed rescanning. This is in high temp hydrocarbon service and could result in a catostophic failure. This individual did this willingly and knowingly. I have already contacted ASNT. I'm going to push this as far as I can. ----------- Start Original Message ----------- : I would advise double checking your information against the relevant codes and project specifications. I would also review your information again. If at the end of that review it is incontrovertible then I would contact ASNT through their web site and proceed with instructions for ethics violation reporting. Be aware it is not something to be taken lightly, if in fact he has done as you say, something must be done about it. Any certification be it PCN, AWS, API, ASNT, etc is only as good as the integrity of the person who holds it. If that person lacks the requisite integrity, he or she should rightly lose that certification. : Regards, : Gerald Newell : ASNT III VT, MT, PT, UT : AWS CWI : : : These defects,may cause some serious failures.If you know, something is wrong, confront and resolve, with concerned ASNT Level III and end user.Finally the end user is going to be in problem, if any accident happens.You have social responsibility also,please act.ASNT is there to make world safe and support, and weed out the bad elements.You can initiate discussion with ASNT too.But first correct the situation for users.With best wishes. : : MLS : : : I have a situation where I discovered an ASNT NDT Levle III falsifying NDT results.
