About Peter Flaherty

Specialty Summary: Lab inspection on aerospace components, medical components, and automotive parts using nondestructive inspection methods. Field inspection in oil, natural gas, and power plants throughout the United States using mobile nondestructive inspection methods. Formal Training and Certifications in RT level II, MT level II, PT level II, UT-T level II, UT, ET, VT and I.R.R.S.P card with both X-Ray and Radioactive materials Perform nondestructive inspection using various codes and procedures such as ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, API 1104, API 650, AWS D1, AWWA, and MIL-STD. Analysis and interruption of inspection results under appropriate code tolerances. Detection of such flaws as cracks, delaminations, voids, processing defects, and welding defects using liquid penetrant, eddy current, magnetic particle, radiography, optical, and ultrasonic test equipment. Accurately report test results with properly filled out paper work and help determine corrective measures. Ensure proper safety procedures are followed prior to work, during work and after completion of work. Establish radiation areas while monitoring and controlling exposure to radiation by inspection crew and all non-essential personnel. Operate, calibrate, and maintain various inspection instruments, tools and equipment. Actively stay current with new inspection methods and industry trends. Responsibly manage client’s expectations with an honest balance between safe work practices and productivity. Competently read and understand ISO metric drawings, AutoCAD drawings, and weld maps to efficiently communicate with engineers and project managers. Direct and coordinate nondestructive inspection processes in industrial and lab settings. Specialties: Characteristics of metals identification; wear metals identification and content; metal discontinuity and flaw detection; operation and maintenance of nondestructive test and welding processes; safety codes and practices; radiological safety and radiation monitoring procedures; technical orders and directives; and proper handling, use, and disposal of hazardous waste and materials.
