Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal parts. Heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. Because of its strength, welding is used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace applications, and thousands of other manufacturing activities. Welding also is used to join beams in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures and to join pipes in pipelines, power plants, and refineries.

The Pipe Welding program will continue your welding education by teaching you the techniques necessary to verify with the following codes AWS D 1.1, API 1104, and ASME Section IX. Hands-on practice along with classroom study of theory and technique will be the emphasis of this Pipe training program.

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.
