Because of the complexity involved in consistently achieving acceptable orbital welds, it is critical that welders obtain up-to-date and accurate training.

The Swagelok approach to learning the theories and skills of GTAW orbital welding includes comprehensive classroom instruction and valuable hands-on training. Our four-day course provides an understanding of welding principles, instructions for setup and operation; troubleshooting tips, and hands‑on experience.

The course is for welders with and without orbital welding experience, supervisors of orbital welding operations, engineers, and quality control pros. Join this intensive five-day* lecture-lab to:

• Develop a thorough understanding of orbital welding principles
• Learn how to operate the Swagelok Welding System
• Earn a certificate of completion by passing two exams.
• Prepare weld samples to test for ASME Section IX Qualification

*Fifth day is included at the end for participants preparing weld samples for ASME Section IX qualification.
