When you have completed this module and feel confident that you
have had sufficient practice, tell your trainer that you are ready for
assessment. He will arrange an appointment with a registered
assessor to assess you. The results of your assessment will be
recorded in your competency Achievement Record.
Remember to:
Read information sheets and complete the self-checks. Suggested
references are included to supplement the materials provided in this
module.
Most probably your trainer will also be your supervisor or
manager. He/she is there to support you and show you the correct way to
do things.
You will be given plenty of opportunities to ask questions and
practice on the job. Make sure you perform the Task Sheets and Job Sheets
until you are confident that your outputs conform to the Performance
Criteria Checklist that follows the sheets.
Submit outputs of the Task Sheets and Job Sheets to your facilitator
for evaluation and recording in the Accomplishment Chart. Outputs shall
serve as your portfolio during the Institutional Competency Evaluation.
When you feel confident that you have had sufficient practice, ask your
trainer to evaluate you. The results of your assessment will be recorded in
your Progress Chart and Accomplishment Chart. You must pass the
Institutional Competency Evaluation for this competency before moving to
another competency. A Certificate of Achievement will be awarded to you
after passing the evaluation.
In this module, you will find the activities for you to
complete, followed by relevant information sheets for each learning
outcome. Each learning outcome may have more than one learning
activity. You need to complete this before you can perform the
module on weld carbon steel plates using shielded metal arc
welding.

Vertical Welding
There are two basic techniques for performing welds in the vertical
position. These two techniques are commonly referred to as “vertical
up” and “vertical down.” These two techniques can be used to perform
welds in the 3G and 3F positions.
25 | S h i e l d e d M e t a l A r c W e l d i n g ( S M A W )
When welding “vertical up”, position the electrode 85º to the plate
in the path of the weld. Begin at the bottom of the plate and work up.
Use the same procedures if the electrode sticks or burns through the
metal.
26 | S h i e l d e d M e t a l A r c W e l d i n g ( S M A W )
As with fillet welds, “vertical up” and “vertical down” welds will
need more than one pass. A root pass should be made, along with a
filler and cap pass.
