Module 10

Module Ten (29110-15)

Introduces the trainees to the techniques and procedures to perform proper joint fit-up and inspection.

Trainees will become familiar with using codes, specifications, special tools, and measuring devices to ensure quality during welding.

Teaching Time: 7.5 hours (Three 2.5-Hour Classroom Sessions)

Session time may be adjusted to accommodate your class size, schedule, and teaching style.

Prerequisites Core Curriculum; Welding Level One, Module 29101-15.

Before You Begin As you prepare for each session, allow sufficient time to review the course objectives, content, visual aids (including the PowerPoint® presentation), and these lesson plans, and to gather the required equipment and materials.

Consider the time required for demonstrations, laboratories, field trips, and testing. Using your access code, download the written examinations and performance profile sheets from www.nccerirc.com.

The passing score for submission into NCCER’s Registry is 70% or above for the written examination; performance testing is graded pass or fail.

Performance Tasks Performance Task 1 (Learning Objectives 1 and 2)

Fit up joints using plate and pipe fit-up tools.

Performance Task 2 (Learning Objectives 1 and 2)

• Check the joint for proper fit-up and alignment using gauges and measuring devices.

Session One

Is a Presentation / Lecture that introduces trainees to the identification of various fit-up alignment tools, measuring devices, positioning equipment, and techniques to reduce weldment distortion.

Trainees will also learn the role of codes, standards, and specifications.

This session covers Sections 1.0.0 through 2.3.3.

1. Show the Session One PowerPoint® Presentation / Lecture.

2. Use the Kickoff Activity to get trainees engaged and give them an idea of what they will learn from this module. 3. Describe fit-up gauges.

4. Describe common weldment positioning equipment.

5. Describe various plate, pipe, and flange alignment tools.

6. Present techniques and tools to control weldment distortion.

7. Describe the role of codes and specifications.

8. Present welding techniques and procedures.

Session Two

Is a laboratory Session devoted to the completion of Performance Tasks 1 and 2.

1. Note that no PowerPoint® presentation is associated with this laboratory session.

2. Demonstrate to the trainees how to fit-up joints using plate and pipe fit-up tools.

3. Demonstrate how to check for proper joint fit-up and alignment using gauges and measuring devices.

4. Trainees practice and complete Performance Tasks 1 and 2.

Session Three

Is a review and testing session.

Have trainees complete the Module Review and Trade Terms Quiz.

Alternatively, these may have been assigned as homework at the end of the previous session.

Go over the Module Review in class prior to the exam and answer any questions that the trainees may have.

1. Have trainees complete the written examination.

(Any outstanding performance testing must be completed during this session as well.)

2. Record the testing results on the Registration of Training Modules form, and submit the report to your Training Program Sponsor.
