Abstract: SEVERAL years ago it became apparent to us at Northern Illinois Gas Company that, with rising labor costs and more stringently enforced requirements for welding inspection by distribution companies, our welding costs would rise considerably. We could not avoid the expenses of continual quality control by x-ray and requalificalion. What could we do? We were progressing well in changing from stick wire welding to the Micro- Wire process, which reduced welding time considerably. But one item that irritated the welders when we talked about increasing productivity v/as the deteriorated condition of the weld bevels (rust and pitting). Pre-weld bevel cleaning time also would have to be reduced.
