COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the following practical methods: -

(1) Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice welding, fabrication and inspection. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then client shall provide access to its welding and fabrication workshop for practical sessions.
(2) Welding Simulator: Participants will use in the class the welding & fabrication software and AWS Tool Kit & Structural Weld Replica Kit to practice some of the skills learnt.

Welding Technology plays a major role in all maintenance and fabrication activities in the industry. Production equipment, a highly sophisticated welding
technique and qualified personnel allow processing or production of steel products for different applications within short periods. This course provides a much needed source of authoritative information on the complex subject of welding. It provides a comprehensive run-down of the complex science of welding - processes, selection of power sources, weld metallurgy, weldability of metals, testing and inspection techniques.

The course will cover welding processes (GTAW, SMAW, MIG, FCAW, SAW, OAW), welding consumables, design of welded joints, applied welding metallurgy and heat treating, welding quality control, non-destructive testing and major International Welding Codes and Standards such as AWS and API. Each session will be conducted in a lecture/discussion format and videos designed to provide intensive instruction and guidance. The director will be available following each day’s session to provide participants with further opportunity for discussion and consideration of specific problems. 

The course includes detailed discussions about welding of pipelines and related facilities in accordance with API 1104, AWS D1.1, ASME IX and API 577 codes and standards.
