lesson plans, videos, student handouts,
assessment tests, presentations and
more, designed to streamline the
teaching experience and free welding
school instructors from curriculum
development. With more than 1,500
teaching assets and growing, this
subscription-based online learning
management system allows instructors
at high schools, technical colleges,
universities, unions or private industrial
training centres to focus on teach-
ing in the class-

alone DVDs and
textbooks is coming
to an end,” said Dr
Jason Scales, Lincoln

specific lesson plan
and matching student
or presentation mate-
rials over the web
and update the files
immediately whenever
welding or teaching
advances require a
change. Whether you
are teaching stick and GMAW or are
ready to tackle robotics, CNC plasma
cutting or manufacturing engineering,
U/LINC curriculum is ready to help you
get your training started now.”
Educational topics include safety,
principles of welding, SMAW, GMAW,
FCAW, GTAW, thermal and CNC

Forming gas system
with convenient
carrying case
WELD-TECH has more than 23 years’
experience in the development and
production of flexible tools for pipe
welding.
The company’s products include the
Purge-Flex forming gas system. This
double-sealed flushing system can be
easily pulled through pipelines, and
bends without tendency. The design of
the system ensures that at least one
sealing disc remains sealed, reducing
both the flushing duration and the
volume of inert gas required. Typical
flush time is under two minutes.
At interchanges between pipes of
different diameters, the sealing discs on
the base unit can be simply exchanged.
There are three different base units (with
lengths of 120, 150 and 200mm), and
silicone sealing discs with diameters
ranging from 25 to 300mm.
Weld-Tech has also assembled a
compact carrying case kit for easy
storage and transport. The sturdy
case holds a 200mm base unit, silicon
sealing discs ranging from 25 to
165mm, 10m of argon hose and 10m of
stainless steel cable.
The case is suitable both for
transportation and for reliable storage
in the workshop, ensuring that no loose
parts are misplaced.
