This course illustrates how math is used in industrial maintenance. Begin with basic math functions, explains decimal-fraction, conversions, and the metric system. Review basic geometry, ratios and proportions, basic algebra, area, volume, circumference, and tables. Explains right triangle trigonometry and other triangular applications in the trade. Safety and Rigging Fundamentals is a prerequisite for this course.

This class will provide extensive practice of groove welds in all positions, both open root and with backing, using the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process, also known as stick welding.

This class will provide extensive practice of groove welds in all positions on 3/8 and 1 plate, using the gas metal arc welding (FCAW) process, also known as Flux Core welding.

This class will provide extensive practice of fillet welds in all positions, using the gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process, also known as MIG welding. Using the MIG welding process to repair metal will also be introduced.

This class will provide extensive practice of fillet and groove welds using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, also known as TIG welding.

This class will provide extensive practice of welding pipe using the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process, also known as stick welding. The final objective of the class will be welding 6 schedule 40 pipe in the 6G fixed position.

This class will provide extensive practice of welding pipe using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process, also known as TIG all the way welding. The final objective of the class will be welding 6 schedule 40 pipe in the 6G fixed position using TIG all the way.
