Welder fitter job in Thornton, CO
Pay: $25-40/hr (DOE) Shift: 1st or 2nd ?We will now be offering an additional weld test for RK Energy. This will be a GMAW-MC 1G Rollout test. This is where the pipe is welded in a flat position on a pipe rollout machine. If candidates don't feel they can pass the 6g FCAW weld test, please ask them if they've ever welded on a roll out and if they can pass this test. I am including some additional information about Metal Core (MC). This should help you better understand how it differs from FCAW, as well as the weld test specs. I'm happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
This will be a 2 hour weld test for Energy. It should be included on your submittals as 1G Rollout GMAW-MC in the same section as our existing testing info.. If they want to take the 6g and 1G make sure to include them both and this will be scheduled in 4 hour allowances to complete both tests. .
1G (Rollout) GMAW-MC (Metal Core) Test
1G means the pipe is positioned horizontally and can be rotated while welding. Think of it like spinning a soda can while trying to draw a straight line on it.
GMAW-MC (Gas Metal Arc Welding - Metal Core) is a type of wire-fed welding that combines aspects of MIG (metal inert gas) welding with flux-core welding. It offers deep penetration and good weld quality.
Purpose: This is one of the easiest tests since the welder can roll the pipe to keep the weld in a comfortable position, making it ideal for production welding.
