JuegosEven though there are some pretty big differences between structural welding and pipe welding certification tests, there are also some common denominators. Here are a few tips that apply to both pipe welding tests as well as structural plate tests.
It is never a bad idea to call the test supervisor before your test date to get all the details possible.
TrabajarAsk questions before the test begins so that you will be clear on the expectations of the test supervisor
get permission first, but try to get a piece of scrap metal to weld on so that you can get used to the equipment and to set the welding machine before you light up on the real deal.
Empleo The 1" thick test qualifies for unlimited thickness and the 3/8" thick welding certification plate test has a thickness limitation. Most people think the 3/8" is a bit easier.
dont leave any slag on the finished product...file and brush, file and brush
spread your stops and starts around so that they are lumped in the same area
a little soapstone followed by a good power brushing makes for a weld that shines like new money.
Lets use the chopper handlebars for an example. Obviously, you cant destroy every weld you make but what if you were to weld up a mock up set of handlebars just to prove the weld settings? Wouldn't it be worth the price of the tubing just to have confidence in the welds?.
You are gonna be a little nervous. Be ready for it. Even after over 30 years of welding, I still get nervous.
The best way to not be nervous is to be practiced up for the test. If you called the super beforehand and have practiced the exact test you will be taking, your chances of passing are much better and your brain will know it. you can be published without charge.
