Unlike traditional gas cutting, plasma cutting does not require fuel gas, significantly reducing operational hazards. The equipment used is engineered with an Ingress Protection rating of IP23S, offering high resistance to rust and moisture, making it reliable and durable even in challenging environments.

Despite its advantages, plasma cutting equipment remains underutilized—largely due to a lack of awareness and proper training.

To address this gap, we offer a comprehensive training programme aimed at equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to safely and effectively operate plasma cutting equipment.

The course includes:

  • Introduction to Plasma Cutting Technology
  • Equipment Handling and Safety Protocols
  • Operation Techniques
  • Hands-On Practical Sessions   

This programme is conducted at the IMTC - UNITOR Welding School, established in collaboration with UNITOR and fully approved by UNITOR.  

Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, the participant will

  • Understand the advantages of plasma cutting operation over conventional fuel gas cutting operation.
  • Installation of plasma cutter on board.
  • Safety precautions while performing plasma cutting work.
  • Be able to understand the application and function of the equipment and accessories used for plasma cutting machine.
  • Be able to understand the principles and the procedure used plasma cutting.
  • The knowledge of torch selection and parameter settings based on the material to be cut.
  • Acquire the skill to make quality cut in different positions and different types of material.  

Course Duration: 1 day

Suggested target group: Marine Fitters, Pump men, Repair team members and any other ranks as per client’s requirements.
