Triangle Engineering AWS welder testing facility

Named example of an AWS-approved testing facility south of Boston. ## Figures referenced (not cases)

So the American Welding Society says, we will certify welders. And you can get a little card from the American Welding Society. You have to go to a testing facility which will be approved. Here in Boston, you can go down to Triangle Engineering — that's one of the approved testing facilities. They probably have a half a dozen others, but Triangle was one of the first down here, south of Boston. You pay the American Welding Society a fee — it might be a thousand dollars — and you can take the test, you can make the weld, they will break it, and they will determine if you pass. If you pass, you get a card saying you're a certified welder, and you can take that to any company you want and show them your card. Sort of like a driver's license, a welder's license if you will.
