The best advice i got 40 years ago when learning to weld a 6G /6GR was weld one handed and use your other to balance and move freely as you weld it becomes like a wand in your hand a bit Harry Rooter u become a metal magician and your roots resemble a wedding band when complete unfortunately most of the amazing tradesmen who taught me these skills have long since passed but I still like to think their up their in Heaven hot passing and capping
as a license welder i can say this one's really well explained so for anyone who's watching to learn (and not just cuz they're a heckin nerd like me) this is how to weld pipe on a license level. good job @WeldTube
What the f ck is a "licensed welder"? That's like someone saying they're a licensed dishwasher. You must be in europe or asstralia or somewhere like that.
I've been fitter/welder for 15 years, certed for plate but never pipe. I did spend some time at a few shops, one specializing in larger pressure vessels, one specializing in steam and refrigeration piping. I learned alot about 6g ASME IX at the latter, it intrigued me alot, learning about schedule pipe, the procedures, prep everything was soooo different to anything I'd ever done. I've only ever seen 1-4inch pipe, tig root with tig or stick hot pass and covers depending on the situation. I've never seen pipe welding with a stick root before ESPECIALLY with 6010 (I'm In nz I think the 31a we use is the same, please correct me if I'm wrong) very very cool learning and seeing different processes and jobs. God I love our industry! There's always new stuff to learn! Thanks so much!
Best thing i ever learned from my old school instructor who was in his 60s when he taught was hor to hold the stinger. He showed me, hold it just tight enough so that you don't drop it. I took that and ran with it. It helped me run welds that were clean and gave me much better control. When you are relaxed, everything goes smoother!
Hard to believe when I went to welding school in 1973 that we learned how to weld pipe by putting a 6010 root pass in and low hydrogen the rest of the way isn't it unreal that things are still done the same way 50 years later. What if your doctor or dentist did things exactly the same way they did 50 years ago
Hey, you know what? That is a very intriguing way to put it. Two different vocation but that still any interesting perspective, never really looked at it like that...
Thank Rosendo! You the man! I’m signed up to go the boot camp training for the boilermaker union next month, I’m not sure what to expect but these videos are definitely helping me grease the gears as I practice back at my local tech school. Much love brotha 🍻
@@brandonstrickland6444 no not all. It was 3 weeks 6 10s, all shop. and constantly and I mean CONSTANTLY burning rod. I think I was going through about 5 pounds a day. They were very thorough, and professional with all the training. I walked out with two certifications, SMAW and FCAW.
I recieved a false welding education from St Cloud Technical Community College. This channel has taught me way more about technique,fit up and everything else . Thank you guys!
I've been welding for 40 years started with Gas welding then Arc with original Fleetweld 5s Great video. Used bridge sections rather than tacks just knock them off as you go round.
awesome stuff im heading into a Boilers apprentice rogram in a few weeks and im new to 6g so watching this helped me learn the movements of the ody to keep the rod in the center of the pipe as im working along, ive got my 6010 stiching down pretty good but need to work on that fill and cap
Thank you buddy for your time I am taking some classes on welding at the moment to learn this look forward to it hopefully is a good pay as well as it’s fun as it is I hope I run into old-school welders to learn the old-school stuff as well I believe it’s always good to learn from the old to the new School 🙏👍🏼👍🏼up
Old-School Pipefitter/Boilermakers taught me to use about a 24" pipe wrench off the face of the outer side of pipe for your arm rest or tie your lead around the pipe for an armrest, even use a pipe stand. 6G Certified and X-Ray quality
80% of total proccess time is setup, resulting in 20% welding time under the hood. If you rush setup to 20% of total proccess time, expect total time under the hood to grow to 80% with 20% quality.
when its sizzling you know its going in . iv not done stick welding in about 10 years and used to find it easy doing pipe. i started a new job February and got to do a 6g stick and 6g Tig weld test. im not looking forward to it haha. nice video
I remember as an apprentice being told to just watch and learn. Some really good welders aren't good at teaching, or explaining what they do. This is great though, really good video.
Weld tube, would you guys consider doing a video on the 6GR test that is common for welding offshore? I failed one. 3/16” root gap, top pipe had no bevel it was flat and there was a steep bevel on the bottom pipe w no land. Restriction plate on top. Root was to be performed with a 3/32 7018🤯. Top pipe was thicker than the bottom pipe. Both had an OD of 6”.
Jack Phillip that sounds like a nightmare. I'm 2 months into welding school and practicing pipe after hours while the rest of the class is still on T-joints lol. Anything new seems
Awesome way this explained the welding. I started welding at age 4, at my grandfather's shop. But the newer welders use tigg welding to do the first pass. Id trusted this guys welding over the tigg. Tigg is like welding with and Oxygen an Asetalin.
Were you javing a problem w the keyhole opening up way too much, is metal suposed to flow around it?. Can you do videos on how the tie ins are done in the feild. doesnt the pipe welder have to appriove if its good enough
Great instruction! I find myself watching these videos like a 16 year old gets sucked into tiktok. So, on a 6G it looks like I need to manipulate my wrist while maintaining the relative same travel and work angle? Gonna be tough, but I'm up for it. Thanks again!
I’ve NEVER had lof with only grinding one side of the tack. If you leave a keyhole you can come back off the keyhole… the tie in coming into a tack is the critical part to grind.
I like your videos breh big ups, the key is to reading that puddle i made it so hard ar first wish I was looking at your videos while I was trying to get it Burn to learn And you will eventually earn

@@Azerx997 I always thought a "license" is different from a cert.
Since when does a license/cert mean someone can weld?

I finally passed my 6G welding test, thank you for this video.
How many hours of practice do you think it took for you to pass?
It took me about a dozen times to pass, hours wise I'm not sure.
Best 6g video demo that I’ve seen. Great job thank you.

The best 6g pipe video I've ever seen on here. 33 years exp
Pipe welding is a real art👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love how you get straight to the point great vid gonna sub

excelente demostración, muy claro ahora llevar a la practica. saludos desde Chile .
Great video! Excellent job explaining everything strp by step to help a student in need 👏👍
I’m learning from your videos. Great content
I have certs but none for pipe welding, now I'm fortunate enough to be learning on the job and trying to learn a lil extra on downtime.👩🏭
I’m tryna learn rn too
finally a 6g stick video
Keyto a goodweld, is a good fIt. Such an under st ement😮😮
should have watch this before my assessment. from PH

Geremia . I"m from D.R. Like the welding very mucho.ok My friend.
This guy explains things very well, it would've been cool to have him as an instructor when I was there. Apart from the one and only Abraham.
This is an awesome demonstration in how to weld pipes being a welding instructor give you 💯
Seeing him weave both left and right still in steady mode left me speechless.
Great explanation as always and fabulous job
One of my favorite welds!
Well done, greetings from the Netherlands

Nice one bro, you really pulled it off smoothly. Got a text next week for a job. Your tips were helpful. Thanks for sharing
I learned a lot thank you for the uploader
Great job and demonstration as always Rosendo!
Great job explaining 👏 Thank you 🤘
Real clean work bro.
I remember taking my test with a 2" pipe in 6g , pain in the butt, that 6" pipe so much easier to do.
Did u take the UA VIP career course?
im a welder student here in philipines. hi to all welders out here,
I say hi,from iran

Saludos mi chingon excelente clase saludos desde Chicago il👍🇲🇽
Great show ...im 65 welded all my life nowi realise ehy my neck hurts so much all the crazy positions and not moving or breathing till rod down lol
Oh man,it' too bad,did you like welding alot?
Awesome way this explained the welding. I started welding at age 4, at my grandfather's shop. But the newer welders use tigg welding to do the first pass. Id trusted this guys welding over the tigg. Tigg is like welding with and Oxygen an Asetalin.
Thanks bro I have to weld a 36 inch pipe next week nice work.
Were you javing a problem w the keyhole opening up way too much, is metal suposed to flow around it?. Can you do videos on how the tie ins are done in the feild. doesnt the pipe welder have to appriove if its good enough
good job... wondering why you step the rod on the root? i just drag it with a perfect fit up..,
Hi friends, Root pass (+) Reverse Polarity or (-) Straight Polarity.
Reverse u can hear the high pitch screech
Great instruction! I find myself watching these videos like a 16 year old gets sucked into tiktok.
So, on a 6G it looks like I need to manipulate my wrist while maintaining the relative same travel and work angle? Gonna be tough, but I'm up for it. Thanks again!
Great video, thanks for your time.
great i understand also this weldeing .great job.🤗
nice to meet you I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
very helpful for newbies like us thank you
How many amps did u do the root , and how much dig did u put
Exelente bro ! mándame esa careta a Colombia,
Gracias colegas !!!!👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much, I appreciate it
Root pass hot pass stringers ?
Great work ❤
I’ve NEVER had lof with only grinding one side of the tack. If you leave a keyhole you can come back off the keyhole… the tie in coming into a tack is the critical part to grind.
Gd day sir i like that your welding procedure im also a welder combination
Purfect showed pipe welding skills thanks sir. Sir welding machine running hours continuously or not ?
accept the burn ignore the pain when your on a role and flowing
100% right
you won’t be saying that once you get a REAL burn
I like your videos breh big ups, the key is to reading that puddle i made it so hard ar first wish I was looking at your videos while I was trying to get it
Burn to learn
And you will eventually earn
Can someone explain the 6010 hot pass? I’ve been taught that is a strict no. For us it is always 6010 root and 7018 all the way out after root
Hot pass meaning after root, you step down, say 100 to 90 and weld over with no cool down period. Basically
No you don't drop down you go up with your amps,so it pushes your root in,@@bipolargods509

Very nice sir your tutorial welding 6g good luck good job amen

Show tips for the guide line in next video, example what wheel to use, how high to go, etc etc
Yeah. Most UA welds we aren’t allowed to cut into the base metal. Please tell us the secret. Is it with a cut off wheel?
Coool brooo 🎉🎉
👍👍 Excellent!
