Q
- Pick the answer best describing the electric fusion method of pipe manufacturing:
a. Flat plate having the proper width and thickness and having been heated in an electric furnace to the proper welding temperature is shaped by forming rolls into a tube-like form.
b. Flat plate is formed cold into a tube shape by rollers and then it passes between welding electrodes which make contact with the pipe on either side of the joint.
c. Flat plate is formed into a tube shape and placed in an automatic welder with the inside backed by a water-cooled copper shoe. Two electrodes are used which are not in actual contact with the pipe. The welding current passes from one electrode through a powdered flux and across the pipe joint to the other electrode. A welding rod placed just above the pipe joint is thereby melted and deposited in the groove of the pipe joint.
d. Flat plate rolled into a tube shape with heat and then welded free hand tungsten weld.
A
b. Flat plate is formed cold into a tube shape by rollers and then it passes between welding electrodes which make contact with the pipe on either side of the joint.
