INDUSTRY AND CUSTOMER FOCUS
WHAT IS PROCESS PIPING?Process Piping commonly refers to a network of piping systems that transports industrial gases, fuels, water or steam, around industrial facilities, installations or pipelines associated with the manufacture of products.
These piping systems comprise a wide range of dimensions and material grades, that require experienced welding personnel and operators to deliver a high level of quality and process adherence, whilst maintaining productivity to meet project deadlines.

WELDING RELIABILITY
SAME MECHANICAL PROPERTIESWeld quality is crucial in Process Piping. Lacking quality impacts contractual production times and costs. Mechanised welding has great benefits in this context comprising repeatability, traceability, welding time, soundness and appearance - and there is more.

RELIABILITY & TRAINING
EXPERTS SUMMARY
In the world of welding we face many challenges on a daily basis, the welding industry is extremely competitive with specialist companies developing and introducing new innovative solutions to put themselves into a positive position, in achieving a greater market share and become the market leader in their field.
Materials for pipework systems, especially in the Power & Process Industries are becoming increasingly complex. The need to have high quality welds to guarantee the service life of components, has seen acceptance criteria being strongly implemented to ensure volumetric soundness. This combined with the introduction of new innovated inspection equipment to confirm weld quality leaves many companies concerned on their ability to provide repeated quality during major projects.
Speaking from past experiences, we are seeing a shortage of skilled High Integrity Pipe welders, which is having a major effect on a global scale. Whilst the industry tries to replenish this valued and much needed skill base, companies are looking at other solutions to “Fill the Skills Gap” for several industry segments.
It is recognised that the introduction of mechanised welding systems, can bring many benefits to major piping companies. High quality welds, increased productivity, repeatability, procedural adherence and contract cost reduction can all be associated with the benefits that mechanised welding systems can bring.
Lincoln Electric has been developing a range of multi processed Mechanised Welding Systems, and is now in a position to offer our solutions for mechanised welding, manufactured to meet the tough environments for the Power & Process piping Industries. The ability to offer equipment, consumables, training, and provide our customers with the highest level of technical support, gives Lincoln Electric the chance to offer a “One Stop Shop” for a complete packaged solution.
