Non-Destructive Testing
CWI and API Weld Inspection
Certified Welding Inspection (CWI) and API Weld Inspection are specialized fields focused on ensuring the quality and safety of welded structures and components in various industries. A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) is trained to assess weld quality, compliance with design specifications, and adherence to industry standards through visual inspections, testing, and documentation. API Weld Inspection, guided by standards set by the American Petroleum Institute (API), emphasizes the inspection of welded components in critical applications such as pipelines, pressure vessels, and refineries. These inspections often involve advanced techniques like radiographic or ultrasonic testing to identify defects that could compromise structural integrity. Both roles are essential for maintaining safety, performance, and regulatory compliance in industries like construction, oil and gas, and manufacturing.
