This document is a welding operator qualification test record for Matthew Flud that qualifies him to manually weld schedule 40 carbon steel pipe with E6010 and E7018 electrodes in the 6G position. The test was conducted on August 19th, 2015 and qualified Mr. Flud to weld pipe with an outer diameter of 1.0"-unlimited inches thick using electrodes within the filler metal specifications of SFA 5.1 and 5.5. The guided bend test samples conformed to the requirements for both the face and root bends.
