WD4. 268 Pipe Welding Practices III

Required course for Welding and Fabrication Technology majors; third course in a series of three pipe welding courses. Builds on the knowledge and skills developed in WD 4.266 Pipe Welding Practices I and WD 4.267 Pipe Welding Practices II; allows students additional practice time to further develop and refine pipe welding skills in the 2G, 5G, and 6G positions with Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), and other welding processes. Students will also gain additional practice in cutting pipe and weld joint preparation, fitting, and welding pipe of various joint types per configurations and welding positions encountered in the Pipe Welding Trades. Importance of good fit-up will be emphasized. Includes technical information lectures in related subjects.
