The AMBSC code does not permit TIG welded copper joints except by suitably certified welders.

Yep and unfortunately, unlike the AMBSC stainless code, there is no allowance for supervising an amateur welding his boiler. An interesting inconsistency in the AMBSC codes. It is highly unlikely you will find anybody with the correct certification and recent expieriance as required by the code. My view of certified welders…

This was welded by a qualified, experienced, certified welder and passed inspection. This was for a very large Australian company.

This was welded by an amateur with no official experience, certifications or welder qualifications to try show the company what it 'should' look like.

Destructive testing…

Nuff said…
