Assembly Length Calculations and Quality Verification
o Perform basic mathematical calculations to determine the required cut and assembly lengths for corrugated metal hose and braided hose assemblies.
o Calculate the required hose and braid length by accounting for the overall customer-specified assembly length and subtracting the applicable fitting dimensions or allowances.
o Verify that the calculated dimensions will achieve the required finished overall length after fittings are installed and welded.
o Accurately record the required dimensions and calculations on production travelers for welders to follow.
o Double-check measurements, calculations, and traveler information before releasing jobs to production.
o Read and interpret work orders, customer specifications, assembly drawings, and dimensional requirements.
