Paint Marker Comparison

I spent all of my UA-cam earnings (kinda not joking) on Amazon buying paint markers because this one time I got pissed off that my paint marker died and made a quick post on LinkedIn and lots of people made suggestions so I went way too far and tallied the recommendations and then spent lots of money and my wife was like "what?" and I was like "it's for science!" then she rolled her eyes like s...

    In the old instructions, Olympus would have you build a manual TCG. I assume there are pros and cons to constructing one and not constructing one. Would you happen to have any recommendations as to when to use a TCG and when not to?

    • @hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201
      @hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201 11 годин тому

      I skipped the TCG on this one, as it's not really necessary. It's a nice-to-have, but just to to optimize the appearance of the C-scan for the report. For analysis, you're going to be using soft gain and cursors anyways, and since corrosion is not an amplitude-based inspection, you can skip it.

      Not really, but I know what you mean. It locks in a little differently than the last one. With Gen 1 and the thumb screw, you could kinda turn it half way tight and still wiggle it. This one is a locking mechanism, so it's fully engaged or disengaged.

    U could write a small book on markers...some have caps that screw on so u don't drop em, some can have the top put on the other end for safe keeping while others can't. Then of course different materials require different ones. I usually go with the clients markers in those cases. Then of course marker accuracy, some are wide and hard to mark indications while those are good for tons of marking huge areas or alot. Then color choice...some places wants qc to use a color and UT a different one to differentiate. And then of course if ur using water or couplant u need to be able to choose the best one for esch of those environments...so yeah choosing a marker can be quite complicated! 😂 Good video!

    Soon I will be attending lavender down in Houston for their phased array class. Someone was explaining to me that they offer additional tests called QUPA and there were multiple others. The explanation I received from another mentor was that they allow you to perform phased array in different industries like nuclear and petroleum. It’s hard to find information on the ones you need and what you’ll be qualified for once you pass when you don’t know all the acronyms and you don’t know which places accept that certification rather than give you their own test. Additionally, BP whiting Indiana is the most local refinery for me and I know that they require you to pass their specific test in order to perform PAUT in their refinery. But do I also have to pass the api oriented phased array tests that lavender offers and do you happen to know what all those acronyms for these different specific applications are?

    • @DJ_Jiggles
      @DJ_Jiggles Місяць тому

      The API QUPA is dead as far as I’m concerned. Chevron is not issuing anymore construction drawings require it now that the ASNT ISQ PAUT is out. BP also said they’re going to stop requiring their exam once the ASNT ISQ PAUT came out. Most of the major oil companies contributed to making that test a reality, and it was so they could get away from the API QUPA. Nuclear PDQs are a whole separate ballgame and are EPRI certs, and not the Power Gen EPRI certs either. In the beginning, just worry about going to get your PAUT classroom and start getting your OJT in order. Work on obtaining the ISQ UTT and UTSW first.

    Hi Paul, how do you size something assuming it’s in the centre of your weld? This example you just get the top of the indication and subtract from the plate thickness. Do you get a tip diffracted signal from both the top and bottom of the indication? Also do you have any tips for identifying the tip diffracted signal for conventional UT? Thanks

    • @hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201
      @hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201 2 місяці тому

      So yeah, a centreline crack or a sidewall lack of fusion. In my latest video I show a SWLOF sizing with the top and bottom diffracted signals. With PAUT it's just so much easier because you see everything all at once. In 2024 here (actually, since the early 2000's) we've been spoiled with PAUT. There are many out there that are so much better than I am at characterization and sizing with conventional. It's trickier and might require switching wedges. But no one should be shamed for using a better tool. Sure, the people that built houses with homemade nails should be commended for their ingenuity. But that doesn't make houses built in 1880 better than today's contruction with modern tools and screws.
