Welders

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).

There's only been one incident involving an actual death during the process of underwater welding, which happened in 1943 when a student was wet welding.

The potential danger from electric current during underwater welding is extremely low because the welder-diver is grounded. It's also direct current (DC), not alternating current (AC), so it's focused at the weld site.

Other dangers to underwater welders (commercial divers) are more prevalent, including decompression sickness and drowning. I outline these dangers in my article: waterwelders.com/zap-bang-pop-hazards-safety-measures-of-underwater-welding/

As long as he follows all the rules he will have a normal life span.

If you are looking for a class where you can learn underwater welding then you can do this through a company called Interdive Services. This is a three week course resulting in a professional qualification.

Ultimately, the responsibility for a welder's safety lies with both the employer and the individual welder. Employers must provide a safe working environment, appropriate safety training, and necessary protective equipment. At the same time, welders are responsible for following safety protocols, using equipment correctly, and being aware of their surroundings. This shared responsibility helps ensure a safer workplace.

to be a welder you must have very steady hands and good eye focus also you must know what process you are doing and what the reactions of this process are
