This course covers advanced techniques, safety, and education in FCAW and GMAW welding processes to ISO standards. You will learn proper PPE fit-up & preparation of material, wire selection & position, welding techniques and welding code criteria & regulations. Welding pipe positions will include: 1G (Rotated pipe), 2G (Horizontal weld), 5G (fixed position pipe) and 6G (pipe at 45-degree upright angle) welded with corresponding welding wire. Student’s 6G position pipe position welding specimens will be mechanically tested to ASME Section 9 code standards and ASME B31.3 (Standard Pipe Construction code) VT acceptance criteria. Students will also be tested in lecture educational knowledge for fulfillment of Lab/Class hours. Upon completion of this course students will receive a certificate of proficiency in FCAW and GMAW on Pipe. Students will also be capable of performing good quality sound pipe welds in big-bore piping, flare lines, duct piping, industrial plants, fabrications shop and more.
