Course Description

Weld testing for mastery of levels I and/or II in the Pipe Welding process or Gas Tungsten Arc and Shielded Metal Arc Welding processes. A Welder Qualification Certification will be issued. Enroll only when ready to test. Fee charged for qualification test. PREREQUISITE: WELD A100, WELD A101, or concurrent enrollment, or industry experience. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Complete a weld or welds for qualification for certification to an American National Standard Institute codes such as: A. American Welding Society B. American Society of Mechanical Engineers C. Military Specification D. American Petroleum Institute D. Other welding qualification or certification tests.

Lab Content

Preparation of Test Pipe Joint Determine pipe diameter and wall thickness to be tested (refer to code requirements); flame, or machine cut pipe bevel angles; prepare weld root face; if fillet welds are required prepare fillet weld materials to code requirements. Test Procedures Determine applicable American National Standards Institute code for testing the welder, tests are repeatable depending on the code requirements of the job license. American Welding Society American Society of Mechanical Engineers American Petroleum Institute Military Specifications Others Weld position Refer to code requirements for welding positions Position pipe for welding; 1-flat, 2-horizontal, 5-fixed on horizontal plane, 6-fixed 45? angle Inform the welder of the code requirements for this test Electrode selection and manipulation Refer to code requirements for electrode selection Refer to code requirements for welding direction and manipulation Inform the welder of the code requirements for this test Welding sequence Refer to code requirements for welding sequencing Refer to code requirements for welding bead layers (stringers or weave) Inform the welder of the code requirements for this test Bead cleaning procedure Refer to code for requirements for cleaning procedure Inform the welder of the code requirements for this test Test coupon preparation Determine top of the weld test and mark Determine bottom of the weld test and mark Refer to code requirement for weld coupon selection Mark weld coupons to be removed Flame or machine cold cut and remove weld coupons Test evaluation Determine code requirements for weld coupon evaluation Follow code requirements for processing weld coupons Refer to code standards for acceptability or rejection of processed weld coupons Document welding testing results according to code requirements
