Certified Gas Metal Arc Pipe Welder (CEC.GMAWP) Information

Welding students will advance and adapt their skills in the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes to pipe welding. The student will learn the techniques required of a certified pipe welder. Through lab instruction, training emphasis is placed on proper tacks and feather edging, filler metal angles and manipulations for open root pipe welding are taught. Class will consist of welding on carbon steel pipe with the GMAW-SC and FCAW processes. Training will be with ER70S solid wire short circuit transfer GMAW down bead root with E71T-1 flux cored wire hot and fill passes, upward progression. Practice is geared toward certification to ASME IX, Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code in the 6G position on carbon steel. Certification tests will also be administered within this course. Passing the certification test provides an all position ASME welder certification.
