Description:
This course is primarily intended for marine engineers who will be responsible to perform oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting for the repair and maintenance on board ship, but it is equally suitable for engine ratings to perform their duties and responsibilities safely and efficiently during their on board employment.
The subject covered should serve as a valuable introduction for those who have little experience in oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting and is also very useful for experienced engineers. Trainees will gain considerable benefit as they will explore and experience a variety of oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting techniques. The course includes specific principles of gas welding and cutting with their application in practice, using various techniques in operation.
Course contents:
- Introduction to oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting equipment and accessories, purpose, potentials and maintenance
- Introduction to safety procedures prior, during and after oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting operations
- Introduction to the equipment and tools which are used during oxygen and acetylene gas welding and cutting operations
- Introduction to the tests for material identification
- Introduction to welding, cutting, soldering and brazing techniques, joints, grooves and faults.
