Summary
Specialized profession that installs, inspects, maintains, and repairs compressed air piping equipment used in factories, plants, and other facilities.
Description
Compressed air piping workers construct and maintain compressed air piping systems in factories, plants, construction sites, and other locations. They read drawings and specifications to cut pipes, thread them, install fittings and flanges, and set up support brackets. After construction, they perform pressure tests and leak tests to check for leaks. They also handle regular inspections, replacement of corroded parts, repair of sealants, and other maintenance tasks to ensure safety in high-pressure environments. Coordination with electrical wiring, other equipment workers, and construction managers is also required.
