What are the different fields in our job ?

BOILER MAKER AND BOILER MAKING :

A boilermaker is a trained craftsman who produces steel fabrications from plates and

sections.

A boilermaker is a tradesperson who fabricates steel, iron, or copper into boilers and

other large containers intended to hold hot gas or liquid, as well as maintains and
repairs boilers and boiler systems.[1]
Although the name originated from craftsmen
who made boilers, boilermakers in fact assemble,
maintain, and repair other large vessels and closed
vats.
The boilermaker trade evolved from
industrial blacksmithing; in the early nineteenth
century, a boilermaker was called a boilersmith. The involvement of boilermakers in
the shipbuilding and engineering industries came about because of the changeover
from wood to iron as a construction material. It was often easier, and less expensive, to
hire a boilermaker who was already in the shipyard--fabricating iron boilers for
wooden steamships--to build a ship. This overlap of skills could extend to anything
large and made of iron--or later, steel. In the UK, this effective monopoly over an
important skill of the industrial revolution led to boilermakers being labeled 'the labour
aristocracy" by historians.[2]

SHEET METAL :

Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into

thin, flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be
cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are constructed with
sheet metal. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin thicknesses are
considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate.
The thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear
measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal.
Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 8 gauge. Gauge
differs between ferrous (iron based) metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or
copper; copper thickness,

PIPING :

Piping (ˈpaɪpɪŋ) generally refers to Piping Engineering. It is an application

of Mechanical Engineering principles, which deals with Design, Analysis, Installation,
Testing, Commissioning and Maintenance of Piping System.

Piping System is a network of Pipes by using Pipe Fittings and other special
components to perform the required mode of transferring fluids (Liquids/ Gas/ Slurry)
from one location to another location. It is the effective method for transferring fluids
without considerable or about zero losses in properties and quality of fluid.

STRUCTURAL IRON WORKING :

An ironworker is a tradesman who works in the iron-
working industry. Ironworkers assemble the structural
framework in accordance with engineered drawings and
install the metal support pieces for new buildings. They also
repair and renovate old structures using reinforced concrete
and steel. Ironworkers may work on factories, steel mills, and utility plants.
