Introduction

Pipe welding is a method for joining two pipes together. Welding techniques used for pipes include arc welding processes including MIG welding and TIG welding. Some make a distinction between pipe welding and pipeline welding, with pipe welding relating to metal pipes at plants and refineries and pipeline welding referring to those used to transport gas, water, oil and other liquids over many miles.

Pipe and pipeline welders undertake welding jobs in the construction industry, at oil and gas fields, in the water industries, fabrication shops and nuclear power stations, among others. Working to connect new pipes or repair old ones, pipe welding is generally performed to conform with relevant codes and standards.
