Welding Reading List: Welding Math and Blueprints

Blueprint

Yeah, I know. Summer’s just about up, but let’s enjoy what’s left of it while we can. Wind down this summer and improve your welding knowledge with one stone: The Welding Reading List.This week you’ll learn how to read blueprints and get a grip on the mathematics of welding.

Note: This isn’t a definitive list of welding books. There are many books out there that have not been reviewed that may be 100 times better than any listed here.

Also, these books serve as just a small step towards becoming better in welding. Obviously, to become better in any field you should practice. My best advice is to use the information in these books as references and guiding tools to help you as you weld.

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN MATHEMATICS: FOR WELDERS

Some welders are able to get by without using math all that much, but I don’t know how they do it. Practical Problems in Mathematics: For Welders is specifically written to aide welders. The book explains basic and advanced mathematical operations in a language that is easy to understand. Using real-life welding examples, this book is great reference for any welder.
