Preparation of a Manual on How to Inspect Flash Rust

Objective:

Education and training for “how to inspect” flash rust have not previously been addressed. While certification courses assume that the attendees are already trained and have some experience, this is often not the case, resulting in uncertainty between inspectors and production personnel. This effort reduces ship construction and repair costs by providing an instruction manual focused on the fundamentals of inspecting flash rust. The use of the manual will reduce variance requests and help mitigate the impact of lost time and unnecessary paperwork.

Key Deliverables:

Request Final Report from NSRP – Limited Distribution authorized to the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industry and NSRP ASE Program representatives
