Guy at the Local 40 hall kept calling hydro testing 'glorified plumbing'
Sat next to a guy named Dale at the Local 40 hall in Newark two weeks back while we were waiting on our certs, and he started going off about how hydro testing is for guys who can't hang tube. I told him I've seen a 6 inch line at 4,500 psi find a pinhole that no X-ray caught, and he just waved me off. Funny thing is he was there to recert on exactly that. What do you all do when a guy like that won't budge, just let the job prove it or say something?
