12 Week Pipe Welding Program

Monday through Friday   9:00 to 3:30 for 12 Weeks

The 12 week Pipe Welding Program prepares a student for pipe certification following AWS and ASME Section IX welding codes. Instruction consists of coupon preparation, welding technique, and troubleshooting for pipe welding in the 2G, 5G, and 6G positions using E6010 or ER70S-2 (GTAW/Tig) in the root pass and E7018 in the fill and cover passes.

In the 12 week program, students receive instruction in all of the welding processes we offer at the school – GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, and SMAW. In addition, students are also trained in oxy fuel and plasma cutting, carbon arc gouging, and the use of basic hand tools (grinders, fit-up tooling, etc.). The goal of this course is to have students prepared enough so that they are "ready to go" on the first day of employment. Other subjects covered in this course include but not limited to:

• Print and Weld Symbols
• Weld Inspection
• Rigging Safety
• AWS Code and Standards
• Shop and Tool Safety
• Metal Fabrication and Fitting
• Employability Skills

Students may test for the AWS D2.1 pipe certifications in SMAW and/or GTAW/SMAW by the end of the program (optional – additional fee required). Individuals who exhibit sound welding skills are encouraged to take one or both of the pipe certification tests.
