Re: [MW:18985] CSWIP Certification for Color Blindness

Vishwakarma_jee,

There is difference between 'color blind' and 'inability to differentiate between shades of particular colors', like red-green differentiation, blue-yellow differentiation etc. Please google it in this regard.
Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

As far as I know, an inspector can get certified in almost all methods, except in the methods where the inspection involves evaluation of test results based on the colors like Liquid Penetrant Testing.

I know personally, a guy who has can not read ALL  'color contrast ishihara charts', but can recognise and differentiate between colors, identify traffic signals, drive the vehicles and worked as a MT/PT technician successfully.

Also, AWS allows to get certified for the persons with such 'disabilities' for their CWI exam. But in the AWS-CWI certification, the type of 'inability' it will be mentioned in a corner, I think.
You can search with the key word 'color blind' or something like that here http://www.aws.org/cgi-bin/mwf/forum_show.pl

Also see http://www.ndt.net/forum/forum.php?SearchDocs=color+blind&searchmode=AND&restrict=&forenID=&Date=0&OrderBy=date+desc&rpp=20&rppoffset=0

Please call TWI local office number to know about their certification in this regard.

PS: Since you are in Mumbai, I heard there is an Ayurvedic clinic who can 'cure' (?) this.

Dear Expert

I am planning for CSWIP 3.1 program and I need some clarification as mentioned below:
 
1)      I am color blindness  and having ASNT level II certificates in 4 methods, my doubt is color vision issue will create problem for certification or in future.
2)  Whether I'm eligible for this prorgram.??
One of  the institute asking me to get eye certificate from eye specialist with Normal color vision and they cannot enrol my name as a candidate for this program indirectly i'm not eligible for the same.
Is it mandatory for CSWIP eligibility because I'm not facing any  practical problem while witnessing any of the method of NDT
kindly suggest.

Heat tint (temper) colours on stainless steel surfaces heated in air // Heat tint

Introduction The colour formed when stainless steel is heated, either in a furnace application or in the heat affected zone of welds, is dependent on several factors that are related to the oxidation resistance of the steel. The heat tint or temper colour formed is caused by the progressive thickening of the surface oxide layer and so, as temperature is increased, the colours change.   Oxidation resistance of stainless steels However, there are several factors that affect the degree of colour change and so there is no a single table of colour and temperature that represents all cases. The colours formed can only be used as an indication of the temperature to which the steel has been heated. Factors affecting the heat tint colours formed Steel composition The chromium content is the most important single factor affecting oxidation resistance. The higher the chromium, the more heat resistant the steel and so the development of the heat tint colou...

Re: [MW:10788] ON PLOT PIPING & OFF PLOT PIPING

Piping systems involved for the flow lines and gathering lines from the well head isolation valve to the production facility or processing plant isolation valve are determined as OFF PLOT. ON PLOT defines piping system in the processing plant and production platform. ANSI/ASME B31.4 applies for off plot piping system. B31.4 allows the use of either API 1104 or ASME section IX (as appropriate). However, occasionally, a very small system such as piping within 500 feet of a processing plant (some client also said 400 feet) may be declared B31.3 rather than B31.4. When B31.3 is invoked, only ASME Section IX is used. before you decide which code to use for welding procedure and/or welder qualification for pipe welding, you have to know the design and construction code applicable to the system. Please read far enough into scope and diagram illustrating the application of either B31.3 and B31.4 hope this helps rgds 2011/4/21 pradip kumar sil < pradipsil@gmail.com > Dear all, ...
