Pipe Welding (WPWSD)
Award: Career certificate
Pathway to associate degree: Welding Technology (WEAAS)
Program location: South Omaha Campus
This career certificate is for students wishing to concentrate their studies on SMAW (stick)- and GTAW (TIG)-based processes, procedures, and techniques as they are applied to pipe welding. Students learn to read prints and interpret welding symbols; safely and skillfully use oxy-fuel, plasma, and air carbon arc cutting processes; safely and skillfully use shielded metal arc welding (stick) equipment; safely and skillfully use gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) equipment; produce sound fillet and groove welds in steel plate and pipe using E6010 and E7018 electrodes and steel plate using GTAW; and produce sound groove welds in pipe using GTAW.
