WD4. 267 Pipe Welding Practices II
Required course for Welding And Fabrication Technology majors; second course in a series of three pipe welding courses. Builds on the knowledge and skills developed in WD 4.266 Pipe Welding Practices I; allows students additional practice time to further develop and refine pipe welding skills in the 2G, 5G, and 6G positions with Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), and other welding processes. Students will gain additional practice in cutting pipe and weld joint preparation, fitting, and welding pipe of various joint types per configurations and welding positions encountered in the Pipe Welding Trades. Importance of good fit-up will be emphasized. Includes technical information lectures in related subjects.

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Utilize safe work habits. Demonstrate the ability to prepare and fit-up pipe weld joints properly on carbon steel pipe. Recognize the effects of the application of heat to pipe weld joint configurations. Employ pipe welding methods and techniques applicable to carbon steel plate (continued student skill-development practice from prerequisite WD4.266 Pipe Welding Practices I) and carbon steel pipe. Select appropriate welding filler metal(s) for welding carbon steel pipe. Demonstrate the ability to correctly use layout skills, tools, equipment, techniques and methodologies used in the Pipe Welding trades for welding carbon steel plate open-root and carbon steel pipe.
