Our welders excel in ASME/AWS Certified Steam Jacketed Assemblies and precision weldments, including projects such as jacketed piping and other pressure vessels, structural weldments, and custom tables.
Kosmo Machine Welding Services
At Kosmo Machine, we specialize in precision welding for machined components with tight tolerances. Our team delivers high-quality weldments for complex and demanding applications, including:
- Dissimilar metals for steam-jacketed high-pressure piping systems (up to 10,000 PSI).
- Complex metal additive-manufactured components
- Small footprint structural weldments up to 2,000 lbs.
- Intricate component refurbishment of pressurized piping systems using GTAW weld overlay and subsequent re-machining of pressure boundary surfaces.
- Custom “one-off” prototype weldments for unique projects.
- Commercial (non-code) production welding services.
