11 Coping Pipe Assignment
Purpose
- Cope, prepare, fit-up, and weld pipes together.
Task
In this assignment you and your partners will be using a manual method, Oxyfuel or Plasma, to cope two pieces of pipe onto the third.
- Grab a single 2″ pipe that is located in the back cage.
- Cut it into 3 pieces.
- Cope two of the pipes at one end to create a 90° angle (I recommend you use a template to trace and cut out the pipe).
- Fit the pipes together with tack welds.
- Weld all around the pipe using any process.
Criteria of Success
Your grade will be based on the quality of fit-up and how close to 90° you can get the joint.
