Orbital welding is an automated TIG (GTAW) welding process used for joining stainless steel pipes in high-purity environments. It delivers consistent, high-quality welds with no human error — making it ideal for pharmaceutical, biotech, and cleanroom-grade piping systems that require contamination-free, traceable joints.
PROCESS
How the Process Works
1
Site survey and pipe preparation.
Setup of orbital welding head and control unit.
2
Welding parameter programming (based on pipe size and material).
3
Execution of fully automated welds.
4
Weld bead inspection and boroscopy (if required).
5
Weld log documentation and traceability mapping.
6
Precision-controlled, repeatable welds with minimal variation
Clean, smooth welds suitable for sanitary and sterile applications
Reduces contamination risks compared to manual welding
