Aerospace Test Kit

Aerospace Welding Test Kit for CTE Programs

Prepare students for the precision and quality standards required in the aerospace industry.

The West Iron Aerospace Welding Test Kit was developed specifically for Career & Technical Education (CTE) welding programs to introduce students to the materials, precision, and workmanship expected in aerospace manufacturing. Featuring multiple material types and joint configurations, this kit allows students to practice the techniques used in high-specification industries where accuracy, consistency, and weld quality are critical.

Unlike traditional welding coupons, the Aerospace Test Kit provides students with hands-on experience welding both plate and tubing while exposing them to materials commonly found in aerospace fabrication. Combined with a comprehensive instructor grading system, this kit gives educators an objective way to evaluate student performance while preparing them for technical careers and employment weld tests.
