American Welding Society Learning | Understanding Welding Symbols-- eLearning Course
Price:
$400
About the Course
Based on the AWS A2.4:2012 Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination, this in-depth, online course employs audio narration, animated graphics, and interactive practice problems to make even the most complex welding symbols easy to understand and use. Understanding Welding Symbols is ideal for anyone involved in the design, fabrication, or inspection of welded, brazed, or soldered joints.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course you will be able to:
Discuss the basic elements and fundamental principles of object representation
Distinguish between the different lines used on a welding print
Indicate key elements of a welding drawing
Identify common joint types and edge preparations
Correlate welds with basic joint types
Distinguish between the different types of welds and their respective symbols
Label parts of a weld
Identify the location of a weld with respect to the joint using the elements included on a print
Construct a welding symbol in order to demonstrate an understanding of print interpretation
Explain the rules governing the use of the arrow, reference line, supplementary symbols, and combined welding symbols
Describe the function and appropriate
placement of supplementary data within a welding symbol
Describe a required braze by deciphering the parameters detailed within a brazing symbol
Determine the NDT method to be used by analyzing a nondestructive examination symbol
Analyze a combined welding and nondestructive examination symbol
