Specialty Fitters, Inc. (SFI) is an industrial gas piping contractor based in Elyria, Ohio. We build high-purity and specialty gas systems for industrial and federal research facilities across Northeast Ohio — including work at NASA test facilities — the kind of work where the weld gets inspected, documented, and has to be right the first time.

• A TIG welder who takes pride in clean, full-penetration pipe welds. Our day-to-day work is manual GTAW on stainless steel (316L/304L) pipe and tubing — much of it schedule 80, open-root butt welds with argon back purge, welded to ASME Section IX / B31.3 standards. Some work involves nickel alloys (Monel) and specialty fittings where cleanliness and fit-up discipline matter as much as the arc.
  
  Shop fabrication in Elyria plus local field installation.

• Manual GTAW (TIG) on stainless pipe — open root, back purge, stringer or small/light weave technique
  - Reading welding procedures (WPS) and working to them
  - Welds that get visually inspected and may see NDE — no grinder-finish cover-ups
  - Keeping high-purity work clean: no oil, no contamination, care between passes
  - Shop and field work, all positions (6G capability)
• PLUSES (NOT REQUIRED): experience with high-purity/aerospace/cryogenic systems, orbital or sanitary tube work, Monel/nickel alloys, B31.3 process piping background, pipe fitting skills.
• THE WELD TEST Before hire, you'll weld a 2" schedule 80 316L pipe butt weld in the GTAW process, inspected and accepted by our Director of Operations. Pass that, and we'll both know you belong here.
