Roles And Responsibilities
- Reading blueprints in order to determine weld location, weld size, allowable weld process and the proper order to make each weld.
- Read weld procedures (WPS) so that the weld is made according to code.
- Use pipe fitter tools in order to maintain proper lengths when dealing with weld shrinkage. (exp.
