[PSUBS-MAILIST] Welding Revisited

["Lil Brother LLC" <lil_brother_llc@bellsouth.net>]

Ok,

We have discussed welding and the methods involved.

Shouldn't we also discuss the situations that pertain to each type and the 
critical requirement for each?

I know that a professional welder knows what he is talking about, but I 
think x-ray on welds that will never pass regular scuba diving depths is a 
little extreme on the side of safety.

I'm not knocking safety at all, I tend to lean to the safe side of 
everything. But there is a point to overkill when it comes to safety 
measures.

I agree, if you are going to depths of 600 -1000 feet, I would definitely 
have the most certified welder available, and have the welds tested by 
x-ray.

But I don't see the need to go to that measure if the sub is only going to a 
max depth of 200 ft.  I do see the need of the welds being proper, airtight 
and strong.

But I'm a realist, so I can handle the opinions from whoever disagrees with 
me.
