The purpose of introducing automatic welding in Thailand project by Sinopec is to shorten construction period, but how fast is it? Follow xionggu to review the data combination of automatic welding.2min. for root pass, 5 min. for hot pass, 5 min. for fill 1 and 2, 6 min. for fill 3 & 4, 6 min. for additional fill, 4 min. for cap, 28 min. in total to complete welding of one joint. While traditional welding process as SMAW welding for root pass and semi-automatic welding for fill & cap, around 4 hours in total to complete welding of one joint. Automatic welding saves time by 88.3% to complete welding of one joint.

Automatic welding features not only high efficiency, but better welding quality, because there is little spatters during internal root pass welding and spatters is reduced during fill & cap. Thus it reduces environmental pollution and it also greatly improves the safety index of welders. Meanwhile, the stable control system platform realizes arc tracking and greatly improves the welding quality and mechanical properties of weld. Most importantly, it brings consistency of weld quality by remain the same preset welding parameters for pipes of the same specifications.

In the fierce market competition, the big wave is gold, only the enterprises that sink down to make products will be recognized by the market. What Xionggu wants to do is to bring more high-quality and professional full-automatic pipe welding machines to more pipeline installation and manufacturing enterprises.
