I've been in several of MTECH'S welding programs and I am very pleased with my experience. MTECH's pipe welding program creates an environment where excellence is the standard, and not the exception. The instructors are honest, fair, and always pushing me to become better.
Shem Frandsen
The pipe welding program at Lehi MTECH is awesome! The instructors teaching the program are welders, therefore, you can actually rely on them to give you helpful advice. The machines, cleanliness, and quality of the shop are all excellent. Spending very little time in the class room, you get to experience pipe welding hands-on. Basically you're playing with fire, but in the most precise, and professional way possible. It's pretty Epic!
Indiana D'Angelo
The pipe welding program at MTECH is a good way to improve your welding skills. It is a great way to separate yourself from other welders and improve your skills. It gives you confidence to do the job.

Course Descriptions

Gas Metal Arc Welding GMAW)/Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) -Pre-Pipe
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.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) - Pipe
The GMAW Pipe course will help students become familiar with the techniques, positions and joints used for welding pipe using the GMAW process and used in structural, pipeline and pressure vessel applications.
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) - Pipe
The Flux Cored Arc Welding Pipe course is designed to help students become familiar with the techniques, positions and joints used on welding pipe using the FCAW process as used in structural, pipeline and pressure vessel applications.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) - Pre-Pipe
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) 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 instruct students in the specialized techniques used for pipe welding applications such as open root “V” grooves, using SMAW E7018 and SMAW E6010. Students with D1.1 structural steel certification in this process may waive this course. SMAW may be waived if a student has a D1.1 structural steel certification in this process.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) -Pipe
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Pipe course will continue to help students with advanced techniques, positions and joints used for welding pipe using the SMAW process as used in structural, pipeline and pressure vessel applications. The course will teach students proper techniques to weld pipe in the 2G, 5G and 6G positions. Students will master the techniques necessary to qualify for the American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1 Structural Steel Code as well as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section IX pressure vessel and piping code
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) -Pre Pipe
The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) pre-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 specialized techniques used for pipe welding applications such as open root “V” grooves, using GTAW “walking the cup” technique. GTAW may be waived if the student has a d1.1 structural steel certification in this process.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) -Pipe
The Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (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.
