Nice nice job. Wish I had some pictures of our work on food process piping 2 inch and 3 inch purged SS. When done and heat discoloration is polished it was often difficult to even see the weld area. Congrats on the test hope results were positive. We had a contractor who had a machine that did the weld inside a box purged, never saw them use it since all our work was done out on floor on a ladder or in a bad spot.

Hey Bruce
The result of the test is I was hired.
I have seen the polished welds like you mentioned, it is a beautiful thing as long as someone else is doing the polishing... I always hated polishing

I have a Metabo burnishing tool with a mandrel and these belts that hook together over pipe, makes polishing out 316L a breeze. I just did some 1/2" sanitary welded pipe last night...definitely a challenge.

Its nice to look at.
But from my take on it it appears to
lack of fusion on the top and bottom toes. Also it could be a bit flatter than the convex
im seeing.
IMHO
