Description
The GMAW/FCAW Pre-Pipe 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 the students specialized techniques used for pipe welding application such as open root v grooves, using GMAW RMD, GMAW Pulse, and FCAW gas shield. FCAW may be waived if students have achieved the D1.1 structural steel certification in these processes.
Upon course completion, students will be able to:
• Classify specialized techniques used for pipe welding applications.
• Interpret open root “V” grooves, using GMAW RMD, GMAW Pulse and FCAW gas shield.
• Demonstrate a tack using the feathering technique on ⅜”-½” plate with different size root opening.
• Perform a weld on ⅜”-½” plate in the following positions with GMAW RMD root, GMAW pulsed fill and cover pass, GMAW RMD root, FCAW gas shield fill and cover pass: 2G, 3G and 4G.
