A2.SC11
• Prerequisite: Nil
Aims & Objectives
Measure with Graduated Devices
Work is undertaken autonomously or as part olteam environment. Work is undertaken
in field, work stations, and workshops. This unit covers measurement skills requiring
straightforward application of measuring devices and may utilise the full range of
graduations of measuring devices.
AS.12A
• Prerequisite: Nil
Content
Perform Routine Manual Arc and/or
Gas Metal Arc Welding
Welding would typically be performed on low carbon and mild steels. Weld preparation
would be minimal and generally restricted to cleaning, using files and grinders.
AS.1SA
• Prerequisite: Nil
Content
Weld Using Manual Metal Arc
Welding Process
This work would be carried out using a range of material for heavy or light fabrication.
Preparation of materials may include preheating, setting up of jigs, fixtures, clamps, etc.
Weld procedures may include amperage setting, earthing, electrode flux condition, etc.
Remedial action using thermal processes may include oxyacetylene and air arc
equipment. Grinding devices may also be used.
AS.17A
• Prerequisite: Nil
Content
Welding Using Gas Metal Arc
Welding Process

Materials used may include carbon steel. stainless steel or aluminium, copper, etc.
Preparation of materials would include preheating, setting up of jigs, fixtures, clamps,
etc. Preparation may include amperage setting, electrode selection, etc. Remedial
action using thermal processes may include oxyacetylene and air arc gouging
equipment.
AS.21A
• Prerequisite: Nil
Aims & Objectives
Weld Using Oxyacetylene Welding
Work would be undertaken using general fabricated components in either plate, pipe and
section or sheet. Typical applications are transitions, pipeworks and structural
fabrication. ductwork, general jobbing work, fired and unfired pressure vessels.
AS.4A
• Prerequisite: Nil
Aims & Objectives
Perform Routine Oxyacetylene
Welding (Fuel Gas Welding)
Routine welding in this unit is intended to apply in a manufacturing or maintenance
environment where welding is not required to meet Australian Standard 3992 or
equivalent codes and/or licensing requirements. The student will work autonomously or
within a team environment using predetermined standards of quality, safety. work and
welding procedures.
AS.SA
• Prerequisite: A lB. 1 A
Content
Carry Out Mechanical Cutting
This unit may cover the operation ofa number olthe following activities: sawing,
shearing, cropping and/or holing. Materials may include ferrous and non-ferrous metals
and non-metallic products. This unit includes the set up and operation of a range of
mechanical cutting and holing equipment.
AS.SA
• Prerequisite: Nil
Content
Perform Brazing and/or Silver
Soldering
Work undertaken in a production or maintenance environment using predetermined
standards of quality, safety and work procedures. Heating medium can include
oxyacetylene and fuel gas. Correct and appropriate consumables may include fluxes
(resin or powderl. all types of silver solder and brazing grades etc. Correct and
appropriate assembly of heating equipment may include cylinders, connections, hoses,
tips and nozzles.
AS.7A
• Prerequisite: Nil
Content
