GAS TUNGSTEN ARC WELDING PIPE (TIG)

This is an advanced welding course designed to provide participants with instruction on welding piping and tubing systems using the gas tungsten arc welding process. The course provides instruction in roll welding, and fixed position welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum pipe and tubing. The participant is guided through the various welding positions, beginning with the easiest, and working to the more advanced procedures as skill and confidence are developed. (10% theory and 90% instruction)

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Prepare pipe for welding.
2. Weld in all positions.
3. Qualify a test weld in accordance with a national code or specification.
