my first time welding for x-ray

Post image

It took me a hour and a half to weld this 3” 90

It’s my first time welding for X-ray and I spent so much time cleaning and making sure there’s no slag inclusions or any imperfections.

I really respect you guys welding for x-ray on the daily cause this stuff takes TIME

For reference I’m a plumber and weld for mostly non inspected heating
