FABRICATION and his friend

During the process of my report in the factory, I try to spend a little times to do a post for this Piping & Fabrication blog, and I think I have to do it fast, very fast! so I can finish the job soon and I can do it both. With the FABRICATION starting this post today, I think that would be a good start.

Fabrication. 

Primarily, the joining of piping components into integral pieces ready for assembly. It includes bending, forming, threading, welding, or other operations upon these components, if not part of assembly. It may be done in a shop or in the field.

Face of Weld. 

The exposed surface of a weld on the side from which the welding was done.

Filler Metal. 

Metal to be added in welding, soldering, brazing, or braze welding.

Fillet Weld. 

fillet weld

A weld of an approximately triangular cross section joining
two surfaces approximately at right angles to each other in a lap joint, tee joint, corner joint, or socket weld.

Fire Hazard. 

Situation in which a material of more than average combustibility or explodibility exists in the presence of a potential ignition source.

Flat-Land Bevel. 

flat-land bevel

A square extended root face preparation extensively used in inert-gas, root-pass welding of piping. 

Flat Position. 

flat position

The position of welding which is performed from the upper side of the joint, while the face of the weld is approximately horizontal. 

Flaw. 

An imperfection of unintentional discontinuity which is detectable by a nondestructive examination.

Flux. 

Material used to dissolve, prevent accumulation of, or facilitate removal of oxides and other undesirable substances during welding, brazing, or soldering.

after write about the definition of FABRICATION and his friend, now I will go to work again. By the way, don't tell the boss that I do this post. ssssttt!
