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 muchneeded
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.
