Fundamentals of Pipeline Welding (CS034F)

Fundamentals of Pipeline Welding

This comprehensive course provides and introduction to pipeline welding. It will offer an overview of the pipe materials and components used and the welding processes and techniques commonly applied for the construction of both onshore and offshore pipelines. Attendees are guided through health and safety, welding standards and the processes of welding procedure and welder qualification. Modules on weld quality and non-destructive testing develop the learners understanding of the types of weld defects, how they are generated and the approaches for determining if they are acceptable using workmanship or engineering critical assessment based criteria.
