WD4. 268 Pipe Welding Practices III
Required course for Welding And Fabrication Technology majors; third course in a series of three pipe welding courses. Builds on the knowledge and skills developed in WD 4.266 Pipe Welding Practices I and WD 4.267 Pipe Welding Practices II; 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 also 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 use of industry-standard techniques in the preparation and fit-up of carbon steel pipe and stainless steel pipe. Utilize techniques to counter the effects of the application of heat to pipe weld joint configurations. Employ pipe welding methods and techniques applicable to carbon steel pipe (continued student sill- development practice from prerequisite WD4.267 Pipe Welding Practices II) and stainless steel pipe. Select appropriate filler metal(s) for stainless steel pipe. Demonstrate the ability to correctly use layout skills, tools, equipment, techniques and methodologies used in Pipe Welding Trades for welding carbon steel pipe and stainless steel pipe.
