Welding Repairs Getting It Right the First Time

Fixing defects demands careful planning and expert execution

Welding repairs often involve higher
stakes than original fabrication. The
pressure is greater, the conditions
are more challenging, and the consequences of
failure are more severe. Once a critical weld is
compromised, the risks increase significantly:
What was critical becomes supercritical, the
margin for error narrows, and the cost of
failure multiplies. A failure in a newly fabricated
pressure vessel might be inconvenient, but a
failure in a repaired pressure vessel already in
service could be catastrophic…
