What is the difference between manual TIG, machine TIG and orbital welding?

Back to all FAQs

Manual TIG welding is carried out by skilled welders qualified to weld a wide range of materials, thicknesses and diameters. Manipulators and rotators are used whenever possible to help produce high quality welds. Find out about manual TIG welding.

Machine TIG welding uses precision welding lathes with an advanced level of process control and automation. It is ideal for butt and socket welded circumferential components such as pipes and couplings. Find out about machine TIG welding.

Orbital welding is used to autogenously butt weld small to medium diameter tube and pipe, giving X-ray standard, crevice-free welds. Find out about orbital welding.
