Welding within Piping Industry

Welding within Piping Industry

Welding within Piping Industry

(OP)
Hi,

Could anybody give me some advise and/or references about the most common used welding processes within the Piping Industry?
Main piping materials used within our industry are A106-B, A333-6, A312-tp316(L) and Duplex UNS S31803 in thin and thicker wall execution.

Reason is that I want to learn and understand more about the welding techniques used in relation with quality. Are any literature and/or internet sites known, giving some educational info?

Any advise will be more than welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
FKE

FKE,
  I'd try the local vocational school and if you don't find the answer you are looking for, Hobart Brothers and Lincoln Electric both have welding schools-or at least they did a few years ago.  I think Hobart Welder was bought out by Miller so you may have to go thru them.  Maytag

RE: Welding within Piping Industry

You may be interested in referring to "AWWA STANDARD FOR FIELD WELDING OF STEEL WATER PIPE" (ANSI/AWWA C206) for some applications (that I think in some aspects in turn refers to ANSI/AWS D1.1 standard).

RE: Welding within Piping Industry

The Welding Intitute (TWI) in the UK has good publications. They will need an investment.

Suggest you should attend a trade school.
