From the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology
These courses provide a simple yet complete method for students to learn and understand the principles of welding symbols, symbols for nondestructive examination, blueprint reading and pipe layout.
Each page is designed to teach a small amount of information which is reinforced through an action/ problem and self-check.
Each page builds for the next as the student learns in an efficient and rewarding manner.
These books are loose leaf paper.
Advanced Blueprint Reading Programmed Learning Packets is comprised of 2 separate self-study packets. Blueprints & Layout packet (83 Pages) will allow students to become familiar with interpreting blueprints, shop drawings and provide practice with layout and assembly. The Symbols & Math packet ( 151 pages) provides training and practice on the use of weld measuring tools, gauges and various layout tools. 9 Tests are included with each student packet.
Blueprint reading for welders and fitters. The blueprint reading for welders and fitters course contains valuable information on mathematics and metrics, Blueprint reading for the welder, blueprint reading for the fitter, setup tools, and set-up applications. 5 Tests are included with each student packet. 170 pages.
This 10 section, self-study, programmed learning course includes: pipefitter terminology, mathematics & plane figures, angles and angular layout, calculated welded offsets, tees, laterals & circumferential sleeves, pipe blanking, elliptical holes, brackets and pipe flanges.
Based in part on Thomas W. Frankland’s “The Pipe Fitters and Pipe Welder’s Handbook,” and “Pipe Trades Pocket Manual.”
10 Tests are included with each student packet.
This course is designed to teach students how to interpret nondestructive examination symbols based on AWS® 2.4.
– For the benefit of students not familiar with welding symbols, the first part of the course serves as an introduction.
– 1 Test is included with each student packet.
– 38 pages.
The symbols for welding course is based on the AWS® A2.4 Symbols for Welding and Nondestructive Examination Standard. This system of communication provides the vital link between the designer and people responsible for producing and planning welding. 3 Tests are included with each student packet. 113 pages.
