The Apogee of Orbital Welding

Last month 11 representatives from various companies including National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), I-space, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and United States Space Force attended a week-long training session led by Nick McMillen, Swagelok’s Specialist Weld Training Associate. 

Training covered all operating aspects of Swagelok’s M200 orbital welder and included: Basic welding principles and the fundamentals of orbital welding; Access to equipment that enables attendees to setup, operate, and troubleshoot equipment and critique weld quality; And specific instruction for the challenges that each attendee may encounter.

Upon completion and successful submission of their weld sample each attendee will receive ASME certification.

This is the first of three orbital welding training sessions scheduled for this year. If you’d like to find out more about our Orbital Welding training, please contact:  Johnny.boos@swagelok.com.
