SMAW PIPE (stick)

SMAW PIPE (STICK) Advanced to Shield Metal Arc Welding

This course covers advanced techniques, safety, and education in SMAW welding process to ISO standards. You will learn proper PPE fit-up & preparation of material, electrode weld angle & position, welding techniques and welding code criteria & regulations. Welding positions will include: 1G (Rotated pipe), 2G (Horizontal weld), 5G (fixed position pipe) and 6G (pipe at 45-degree upright angle) welded with correspondent vending electrodes. Both 6010 and 7018 Rods will be used on welding process. 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) 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 SMAW (Stick) on pipe. Students will also be capable of performing good quality sound pipe welds in industrial plants, fabrications shop and more.
