Registrant Information:

Each student brazing will need to provide the following material:

• 4’ of 1-1/2” L tubing. This need not be cleaned for oxygen service. An ordinary ASTM B88 water tube is acceptable. Scrap tubing can be used if it is clean inside and not dented.
• 6 – 8 1-1/2” wrought couplings with stops. Not cleaned is OK.
• Approximately 1 pound of 5% silver solder BCuP
• Any safety equipment you ordinarily use, such as goggles, gloves, etc. We will use vise tri-stands to set up our brazing assemblies and cut tubing samples. Bring them with you to practice for the final examination.

Note: The above material can be combined if more than one person comes from the same shop. For instance, if five people are coming from one shop, they could combine tubing requirements and create 1 20’ length of tubing.

Students will be required to complete a written examination and a brazing practical in which you will be required to braze vertical and horizontal full penetrating joints on 1 ½” tubing. The brazing coupons will be tested by a C.W.I at a laboratory.
