What Does a Pipefitter Do?

3/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Pipefitting Classes at TLC Trade School
Steamfitters work with metals such as carbon and stainless steel, as well as other alloy metals. These metals are shaped through welding and bending to fit specifications for industrial use. Fitters are involved in the process from planning to installation, and will work with tools such as levels, grinders, dies, and welding torches.

A steamfitter will typically create a sketch or a blueprint of a pipe installation, or be called upon to interpret existing blueprints. During this process, the fitter is also responsible for selecting the type and size of the pipe, as well as determining other related materials and equipment that are required for the project. From there, the fitter will manipulate metal to form the pipes according to specifications.

Types of manipulation that a pipefitter will perform on pipes and metal include but are not limited to:
  • Threading
  • Grinding
  • Welding
  • Cutting
  • Rigging
  • Brazing
  • Soldering
  • Bending

When the pipes are ready, the fitter will transport them on location and install them. The installation is very important and workers must take care to avoid obstructions and also interference with work currently going on in the building. After installation is complete, several tests are performed to check for any leaks, support issues, and performance against high-pressure environments.

​Adjustments are made to ensure the system will run smoothly until the next maintenance, which is usually performed by a steamfitter. They can also be called upon to repair existing systems or replace pipes as needed.

At this time, trade schools are not part of phase 1 reopening as defined by Governor Baker.

Therefore, we have designed instructor-led virtual labs with our virtual and online course material. For courses that require lab work, each student will have their own log in to the virtual lab. We will be ready to launch the new system when our "April" classes begin on June 15.

We will be in touch before that time to assign login information and instructions. Please stay tuned and call us at 508-987-1852 if you have any questions.
