Hey everyone,
I am new to welding hand have very little knowledge on the subject other than what I have learned from reading through some Forum posts. I honestly don't even know if this is the right place to post this, but I thought I would give it a shot.
I'm currently interning at a company and they want me to design a testing method in order to test our products for our clients when they come in. We make thermal insulating fabrics; turbo covers, spark plug boots, etc..
Basically what I need to accomplish is find a method to heat up a 1 foot section of Schedule 40 piping to roughly 1200F. One of our clients has developed a method but its proprietary information so they can not share explicit details. What we do know is they are using an Arc welder transformer as the heating supply attaching it to both sides of the pipe.
My question is if this idea is safe and if so is it practical? I worry that the dead current could ruin the machine or that it will cause some safety issues. If anyone has any knowledge on this or has another idea it would be extremely helpful. Thanks for your time.
