When welds fail (Union Oil Refinery Explosion, Romeoville, IL (1984)

This series is intended to bring attention to failures in the “coded welding” practices. From not using certified welders, to failures in visual and NDE, and failures in Pressure/Leak testing. This first incident was caused by a decision NOT to perform Post-Weld Heat Treatment on a repaired pressure vessel.
