You may be able to find the answer key for Blueprint Reading for Welders 8th edition either through the publisher's website, by contacting the publisher directly, or by checking with academic institutions or welding certification programs that use this textbook. It may also be available through online retailers or forums for educators and welding professionals.

If a person is employed as a rigger, he or she is responsible for the movement and lifting of heavy objects. The rigger may use a crane to complete the work.

if your in alberta canada(or bc) im pretty sure you dont need any schooling except the welding course at a college but i know that some places want your grade 12. its booming up here so if you can weld and work hard this i a perfect place to be right meow

There is no schooling requirement to be a welder. However, the more education in a particular field will give you an advantage when it comes time apply for a job. If you can take a welding or general metal working class in high school it will help, and a lot of vocational schools offer one and two year programmes. These courses familiarize the student with different types of equipment and processes, as well as basic metallurgy.

it all began back way when, when i was a kid, welders would come to my house and burn me, i dont want to tell the story because it shakes me up, but this is what happened. I was found one day dead, because of a welder getting pissed off at me because i beat his dog with a broom stick, oops

Depends on the context in which its used. Could be a "rig" on land or in water.

Some jobs require "Riggers / Welders" who work with cranes and must be able to "rig" large loads as well as fabricate crane booms and spreader bars.

"rig welder" is a vague term, most likely job specific.

yes and no for yes if you want to work for the company and no if you only like it for a hobby.

without experience a welder will usually make around $15.00 depending on what your welding, MIG, TIG etc......... an experienced welder will make up to $52.00 per hour. Keep in mind that this generally means welding underwater or in very tight spots- you definitely cannot be intimidated by small enclosed areas.
They take up to a million years

In Texas, an independent welder with his own equipment earns $40 - $60 an hour. If working in a shop using the employers equipment, they can expect $15 - $20 an hour, depending on experience. Same here in Michigan, but because of how close we are to Ohio State University, washtenaw community college, and the fact that most high schools here train in welding, a degree is almost a must to get a job that pays $15 or more/hour here. There is a surplus of welders in the north, most are going south into hurricane areas.

the average pay for a welder is bewteen $40 and $80 an hour

The demand for welders is at an extreme low i would not suggest any training in this trade at this time.I am a 7 year experience jouneyman welder, and only have worked 6 months out of every year for the past 3 years.

Underwater welding is quite safe now with the advancement in technology. Welders enter decompression chambers to undo the effects of deep sea diving and nitrogen which enters the blood stream. Underwater welders do not die everyday, roughly 10 per year are killed in accidents. To actually answer your question also, underwater welders are usually private contractors hired to fix ships and can be away for long periods of time in other countries/regions, because they work for themselves they can set their own pay rates and since there is such high demand the company or customer usually doesn't have a choice but to pay what you want. But the average yearly salary for underwater welders can rage anywhere from $90,000 - $200,000 depending on area of work and how dangerous the job is.

Hourly, underwater welders' pay ranges from $15.00 per hour to $98.00 per hour depending upon the job being done.

The salary for a factory welder depends on location, experience, and industry. The average annual pay for a factory welder in the United States is $29,000.

You need to call the Department of Business and Professional Regulation in your state's capital and ask what the specific requirements are. Each state may be slightly different, but you do need classroom hours and continuing education afterwards to maintain the license. Many placement divisions in large construction companies will provide contact information on their websites or through their local offices.

Depends on what time your employer wants you to be at work.

Generally the title of 'fitter' is applied to the person who does the layout, preparation and positioning of parts to be welded. They may also do the cutting of the parts to be assembled and the tacking the parts in place.

A 'welder' then comes behind the fitter and welds the parts together.

A 'fitter and welder' does the entire job and all the aspects of it.

A welder should wear a jacket with full leather or leather arms, leather gloves, steel toed boots, non-flammable pants (jeans), and a welding helmet with sufficient shade lens and of course... Safety Glasses.

The same as a short radius 90 of that same pipe size. I

Rule of thumb, for example: 1/2 inch copper tubing you would take off 1/2 inch, likewise 3/4 tubing take 3/4 inch. Your question is 'pipe' are you actually using pipe, cutting and threading pipe? I am often asked questions and find that people are not using 'pipe'. Copper tubing, pvc, cpvc, dwv are quite forgiving when it comes to a slight miscut. Iron and galvanized piping is a different story, get it right the first time!

Both use electrical current to melt the base metal and the filler metal. Both could be considered ARC welding. Most welding is done with an electrode (stick) and as the electrode becomes consumed the weldor has to stop and replace it with a new one. MIG welding uses a spool of wire and can be run for hours on end. MIG is usually easier to learn.

There are no , non -consumable electrodes, there are slower consumed electrodes, as in TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding in which a Tungsten electrode is used , and in the hands of a very skilled welder , last the longest of all electrodes , but are in the end consumed.

Nope. It's the other way around. (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
