NDT/NDE Technician
Circa 1992. This is a Polaroid Spectra print that had its emulsion manipulated while still soft during development. The markings made by manipulation don’t have any particular meaning. It was done for amusement only.
NDT or NDE is 'non-destructive testing’ or ‘-examination' which includes visual, ultrasonic and radiographic techniques among others. They are used to indicate or measure the condition of various processing equipment in the plant. Technicians who use those NDE tools are qualified at various levels of increasing skill and ability. My friend Tom B. was a contract NDE Technician who worked in our plant very often especially at unit shutdowns.
This particular photo was taken during the nighttime shift, hence the black background. If I recall correctly, Tom was on a structure surrounding coke drum vessels in our delayed coking unit.
