PFW 269 Pipe Welding Practices IV
The final course in a four course series. Builds on the knowledge and skills developed in Pipe Welding Practices I and Pipe Welding Practices II. Allows time to further develop and refine pipe welding skills in 2G, 5G, and 6G positions using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and other welding processes. Provides an opportunity to practice with small bore pipe and introduces Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) used on a positioner.
