Technical Welding Capabilities

ASME Code Welding

Provides requirements applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels operating at either internal or external pressures exceeding 15 psig.  Such pressure vessels may be fired or unfired. Specific requirements apply to several classes of material used in pressure vessel construction, and also to fabrication methods such as welding, forging and brazing.  It contains mandatory and nonmandatory appendices detailing supplementary design criteria, nondestructive examination and inspection acceptance standards. Rules pertaining to the use of the U, UM and UV Code symbol stamps are also included.

Robotic Welding

The use of mechanized programmable tools (robots), which completely automate a welding process by

both performing the weld and handling the part. Robot welding is commonly used for resistance spot welding and arc welding, and is ideal in high production applications.  

Hot Gas Plastic Welding

This plastic welding technique is analogous to gas welding metals, though the specific techniques are different. A specially designed heat gun (hot air welder) produces a jet of hot air that softens both the parts to be joined and a plastic filler rod, all of which must be of the same or a very similar plastic.  Hot air/gas welding is a common fabrication technique for manufacturing smaller items such as chemical tanks, water tanks (black, grey, fresh & ballast), heat exchangers, and plumbing fittings.
