Upon completion, students should be able to identify pipe positions, electrodes, proper joint geometry, joint preparation, and fit-up in accordance with applicable code. This course provides the student with skills and practices necessary for fabricating pipe plans using butt welded fittings. Emphasis is placed on butt-welded fittings to include 45 and 90 degree angles, flanges, reducers and tees. Upon completion, students should be able to fit butt-welded fittings, and cut and fabricate tees, laterals, and assorted angles. This course is designed to instruct the student in metal, electrode, filler rod and material identification.
Emphasis is placed on metal, electrode, and filler rod identification and welding terms.
This course introduces the student to the gas tungsten arc welding process as described in AWS D1.1 for groove welding of ferrous and non ferrous metals. Emphasis is placed on safe operating practices, joint and groove design, flowmeter operation, and amperage settings for each size and type of tungsten. Upon completion, students should be able to explain safe operating practices, purpose of the various tungsten end shapes, and determine correct amperage and flow times and rates. This course introduces the student to the gas tungsten arc welding process as described in AWS code D1.1 for fillet welds of ferrous and non ferrous metals. Emphasis is placed on safe operating practices, handling of cylinders, process principles, tungsten types and shapes, and base and filler metal identification.
