Students will apply intermediate shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) pipe welding (Class-B Pipe Welder) skills during this course and apply and understand fabrication techniques using pipe fitting techniques. Students will also apply advanced gas-tungsten arc welding (GTAW) pipe skills. Students will Identify and explain open- root V-groove pipe welding techniques on heavy wall pipe with GTAW/SMAW equipment; Identify and explain Pre and Post weld heat treatment on the different types of alloy metals; make open-root V-groove welds on heavy wall carbon steel pipe root and hot pass using different techniques and filler metals such as, Key holing, washing or soaking, back feeding in the 1-G, 2-G,5-G, 6-G positions with GTAW equipment. Students applying for this program are expected to have completed the Welding Technology program or have significant experience in the welding field and will be tested in.
