FlawTech — “The Traveler” CWI Visual Training Kit

Overview

FlawTech’s “The Traveler” CWI Visual Training Kit is a lightweight polymer specimen set developed specifically for Certified Welding Inspector training, classroom demonstrations, practical exercises, and visual weld-inspection testing.

The kit contains 15 gray polyurethane specimens representing plates, tee joints, and 180° pipe segments. Each specimen incorporates realistic weld indications designed to help trainees practice locating, identifying, measuring, and evaluating discontinuities using AWS D1.1-based criteria.

With approximately three to four indications per specimen and more than 50 weld indications across the complete kit, “The Traveler” provides extensive inspection practice while remaining significantly lighter than comparable steel specimen sets. All specimens fit inside the included carrying case for convenient transportation by traveling instructors and training organizations.

What's Included

Note: Weld gauges, measuring instruments, inspection lights, and additional training accessories are not included unless specified separately.

Training Features

More Than 50 Weld Indications
Provides a broad variety of visual inspection conditions across 15 individual specimens.

AWS D1.1-Based Indications
The indications are designed around AWS D1.1 visual weld-inspection concepts for structural welding applications.

Borderline Acceptance Conditions
Indications are intentionally designed to be near acceptable or rejectable limits, requiring the inspector to evaluate each condition and make an informed decision.

Multiple Joint Geometries
Includes plates, tee joints, and curved pipe sections to expose trainees to different weld configurations and inspection challenges.

Weld Bevels and Flame-Cut Edges
Selected specimens incorporate additional fabrication features to create more realistic visual examination exercises.

Lightweight Polyurethane Construction
Provides realistic specimen geometry with considerably less transportation weight than equivalent steel training samples.
