Description
The GTAW pipe welding course will help students become familiar with the techniques, positions, and joints used for welding pipe as used in structural, pipeline, and pressure vessel applications. This course will teach students how to make root and fill passes using the GTAW process by “walking the cup” of the GTAW torch. Students will also prepare to qualify for the American Welding Society's (AWS) D1.1 structural steel code and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section IX pressure vessel and piping code.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
• Demonstrate weld on 6” schedule 80 pipe in the following positions, using the GTAW process for the root, fill and cover passes: 2G, 5G and 6G.
• Demonstrate weld on 6” schedule 80 pipe in the following positions with the GTAW process for the root and hot pass and E7018 for the fill and cover pass: 2G, 5G and 6G.
• Prepare for the ASME Section IX 6G Pipe qualification - GTAW root and hot pass, E7018 fill and cap.
