How to Calculate Welding Times
There are a huge variety of resources available that approach issues associated with calculating welding times. Calculating this would naturally be time-consuming if you had to re-calculate the basics for every estimate you need to do. Hence, most businesses will have some kind of automated estimating system. There are a number of generalized commercial estimating […]
Welding Filtercarts
Welding Filtercarts Exposure to welding fumes can cause serious health problems in the long-term. To help keep workers protected, a fume extractor is a system utilising a fan to extract the toxic fumes and clean the surrounding environment. Fume extractors help prevent the buildup of harmful chemicals within a workplace. The filtration systems working together […]
Welding Gloves and Gauntlets
Welding gloves are a personal piece of protective equipment, that protect the hands of welders from the hazards involved when welding. These gloves allow digit articulation while protecting the operator from many risks. Risks during a weld could be an electrical shock, extreme heats, ultraviolet and infrared radiation and abrasion. Welding gloves are worn over […]
How Submerged Arc Welding works
Submerged Arc Welding is a welding process that uses a bare consumable electrode to produce an arc between itself and the work piece within a granular flux applied around the weld. Submerged Arc Welding (or SAW) is commonly used in industries where thick steel sheets of long welds are required. this weld process was discovered […]
Preparing a Pipe for Welding
When it comes to preparing a pipe for welding, achieving a quality weld hinges on meticulous pipe bevelling. A bevel end, created with a bevelling machine, is essential for a clean weld. There are various types of bevelled ends for butt joints. What is a Bevel end? A bevel is an angle formed at the […]
