Class on Welding Engineer Course

Objectives
This course aims at providing basic information about various welding processes, welding
metallurgy and inspection techniques. The theoretical lecture covered will be supplemented with
adequate practical demonstration. This course will be useful for the personnel from all
fabrication industries including automobile, power plant and ship building.
In addition to that this is an introductory course to provide the basic understanding of the proper
use and interpretation of ASME Section IX - Welding Qualifications Code and its related ASME
construction codes. To accomplish this objective, the course starts with a review of the ASME
Sec. IX
Who Should Attend
Inspectors, welders, welding supervisors, quality control personnel, technologists, and engineers
involved with new welding procedure and welder qualifications for new fabrication, repairs,
maintenance, and inspection for pressure vessel or piping. This course is also designed to assist
Pressure Equipment Inspector although it is not a prerequisite that you be an exam candidate.
