Product Overview

WELDING
The welding procedures used in the
fabrication of Cooper B-Line steel
products are in accordance with American
Welding Society Standards. To achieve
the highest quality in our manufacturing
processes, our welders follow standards
set by
AWS Code.
Spot Welding
Spot welded back-to-back channel is
manufactured using a modern DC
powered resistance welder controlled by
a microprocessor. This produces a series
of spot welds with speed and consistency.
Consistency is one of the most important
advantages in specifying B-Line back-to-
back channel. Variables such as weld
sequence, speed and duration are
carefully controlled and monitored by a
sophisticated electronic control system.
A
statistical quality control program,
combining destructive and non-destructive
testing, is used by Cooper B-Line to
ensure high quality welds.
MIG Welding
MIG welded, more properly called gas
metal arc welded (GMAW) combination
channels and fittings, are produced when
physical dimensions or certain
combinations require a weld process
other than automatic spot welding. The
same quality control requirements are
imposed on MIG welded and spot-welded
products.
Quality Assurance
Cooper B-Line’
s Quality Assurance
Program has been developed and
implemented for compliance with
ISO9001:2008. Cooper B-Line also
complies with various industry standards
and specifications. Cooper B-Line has
extensive experience in suppling metal
framing components for the nuclear
power generating industry
, and upon
request can provide products in
compliance with 10CFR50 Appendix B,
NQA-1 and 10CFR21. For more
