This week, Jason talks with welding engineer Kim Meszaros about the why behind codes and standards. Kim explains how ASME Section IX and other codes evolve—not as busywork, but as lessons learned from incidents, accidents, and new technologies. They discuss how welders should approach WPS compliance as more than a signature on paper, the role of safety in every change, and the human side of committees making tough decisions. The conversation also highlights the importance of mentorship over gatekeeping, reaching young people earlier, and creating better communication between welders and engineers. Whether you’re on the shop floor or managing inspections, this episode connects the rules to real-world practice and safety.   Find Kim on LinkedIn <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberley-meszaros-9a1b933b/">Here</a>   Arc Junkies Podcast: Instagram: @Arcjunkiespodcast YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253">https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253</a> Email: <a href= "mailto:Show@arcjunkies.com">Show@arcjunkies.com</a> LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D</a> Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: <a href= "https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home">https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home</a> Underground Metal Works: <a href= "https://www.underground-metalworks.com/">https://www.underground-metalworks.com/</a>   Friends of the Show: American Welding Society Conferences Pipeline Conference https://www.aws.org/community-and-events/conferences-and-events/pipeline/ Use ARCJUNKIES at Checkout and get a free gift at the event.   Outlaw Leather LLC <a href="https://outlawleather.com/">Outlawleather.com</a> Instagram: @outlawleatherusa Use ARCJUNKIES for 15% off all in-stock leather goods     Everlast Welders Instagram: @everlastwelders  YouTube: Everlast Welders         Online: <a href= "https://bit.ly/37xJstI">https://bit.ly/37xJstI</a> Use Codeword ARCJUNKIES at checkout to get upgraded to a free Nova Foot Pedal and TIG Torch with the purchase of any machine that comes with a stock foot pedal and TIG Torch.
