Pipeline are used to transport gas, water, oils and other liquids from one point to another.
And as all pipes are produced at a fixed length, there is a requirement of welding to join pipes and make kilometer of pipelines 226km North and East region pipeline project, pipe dia 46inch
So, pipeline welding is a very important activity in pipeline construction and is always a demanding profession.
Pipe and Pipeline welders are required in construction industries, Oil and Gas Fields, Water industries, fabrication shops, nuclear energy industries, Ect. to law new pipelines or repair an old pipe.
Pipeline welding is popular as girth welding which is performed alone the circumference of the pipes to be connected
As compare to pipe welding as usual plans, pipeline welding position various additional challenges
Pipeline welding should conform to the relevant ASME codes like B 31.4, B31.8, ASME BPVC Etc.
