WELD 1810 - Pipe Welding II

Credits: 4
Students continue to learn about equipment and setup, electrodes, and electrode selection used in shielded metal arc welding. Utilizing the American Welding Society’s standards of acceptability, students develop manual skills necessary to produce single and multiple pass welds in 6G SMAW pipe and 5G SMAW downhill pipe positions. Students demonstrate proper use of filler metals such as low hydrogen, non-low hydrogen, and iron powder electrodes commonly used in the welding industry and also specified by the American Welding Society.

Prerequisite: Completion of WELD 1805.
