random work pics & shit ***updated june 17/08***
 

so, i'm working as a QC/QA at a chemical plant, there's not much going on so i am playing welder/welders helper. basically hangin out in the shop doing ---- all.
they have this ---- called Alloy 20, a 4" sch40 pipe is worth $1000/foot.

i'd say this is about $600 worth of pipe that i fucked up.
it's kinda different to weld too, sorta like stainless but different.

its incredibly resistant to corrosion.

its a "super stainless" steel

we're putting it in a process section of the plant that handles a chemical that is incredibly reactive, flammable when contact with air, and explosive when contact water.
