Hard Skills
IntermediateSurface PreparationThe process of cleaning and roughening substrates, such as metal tanks or pipes, using abrasive blasting or chemical methods to ensure proper adhesion of rubber linings.
IntermediateAdhesive and Primer ApplicationThe precise application of specialized bonding agents to substrates and rubber sheets, following specific drying times and environmental conditions.
AdvancedRubber Fitting and StitchingThe manual process of measuring, cutting, and rolling rubber sheets onto surfaces to eliminate air pockets and ensure complete surface contact.
IntermediateSpark TestingUsing high-voltage electrical equipment to detect pinholes, cracks, or discontinuities in the cured rubber lining.
IntermediateBlueprint and Specification ReadingInterpreting technical drawings and engineering specifications to determine rubber thickness, seam locations, and material requirements.
AdvancedConfined Space SafetyFollowing safety protocols and utilizing personal protective equipment for working in restricted areas such as tanks, pipes, and vessels.
IntermediateAutoclave and Curing OperationsManaging the heat and pressure cycles required to vulcanize and harden the rubber lining after application.
