    my problem was always trying to finish too quickly. take your time and let each pass cool for a while....get a drink of water often.

  • @weldingtipsandtricks
    @weldingtipsandtricks  12 років тому +3

    you are correct. the welding machine i was using has a foot pedal so I definitely could have just tapered down to avoid a crater but since a lot of tests are done using a scratch start and no amperage control foot pedal, I figured I would show the technique as if I was using a scratch start rig.

    ❤ you are awesome ! two of my children have chosen to weld as a profession! I shared your videos with my students over the years! I'm going back into welding after brief retirement and after years of teaching welding. Thank you for all your great work Jody!

    Thanks to you I've been welding for 6 years now I'm 26 years old now I started off as a helper around 18 years old and within the second year of being helper they promoted me to a welder and it was because of your tips and tricks and I just want to say thank you and thank you for blessing us. God putting you on earth to help guys like me and I really appreciate it

    Shout out to you Jody. I am a Union Boilermaker and have taken plenty of tests throughout the past couple of years and I ALWAYS find myself coming back to your videos for tips/tricks and reminders on techniques. Watching your videos always adds some confidence on test day, thanks again brutha.

  • @weldingtipsandtricks
    @weldingtipsandtricks  12 років тому +3

    there are lots of methods that work. my suggestion is to find something that feels comfortable and work it.
    I use some wrist motion usually. all that chicken wing stuff makes me tired .

  • @weldingtipsandtricks
    @weldingtipsandtricks  12 років тому +1

    as far as taking a pipe welding test goes, it is probably wiser to practice with an air cooled #17 torch. That seems to be the most widely used in the field . You never know till you show up, but if you can weld using an air cooled scratch start with no foot pedal, you will not have problems if you luck up and get a small water cooled torch with a pedal.

  • @weldingtipsandtricks
    @weldingtipsandtricks  12 років тому +1

    air cooled 17 is the most popular. Its a personal preference thing. Personally I prefer to use water cooled #20 or 25.

    Hi Jody-
    Off the wall question- What type of set up do you do for the welding shots??
    Good videos!!! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!

  • @weldingtipsandtricks
    @weldingtipsandtricks  12 років тому +2

    in my opinion, yes you should learn to use both hands.... if at all possible.
    you will need to be able to use both hands on the job when you get in tight spots... But for your test, you can always revert to using only your right hand if you feel better about it and the test super allows it.

    @yobb89 12 років тому

    This guy is good,different technique then what ive been taught ,I have the prep gap about an extra 1 mm thicker then the filler and lay the wire behind the prep his filler must have more silicon to get more fill on the inside to be able to lay the wire on top of the prep

  • @Tonys_Podium

  • @Joemeaut
    @Joemeaut 12 років тому +1

    I perfer a big gap (5/32). Once you start doing stainless it will shrink alot if your welding over 4". It will shrink to a tight 1/8th sometimes. Always put the big gap at the bottom and feed the wire through the bevel. It it gets to tight bump down your amps and feed in a 3/32. You gotta get the penetration on the bottom that's why I don't like to key-whole or laywire on the bottom since you don't really know if it's going through breaking down that wall or causing concavity.

  • @kf8575
    @kf8575 3 роки тому

    Procedures here in the UK more often than not call for 2.4mm (3/32) filler and 120 amps (or thereabouts) for the root.

  • @4spida2fingaz0
    @4spida2fingaz0 10 років тому +3

    I tried this today n I'm not gonna lie it's pretty tough. I'd say the most important factors are making dry runs, being comfortable in your motions and most of all, correct amperage while monitoring temperature, if it gets too hot it won't weld right n you will waste ur time. Also if things start to get whack, bail out it's better to make a tie in rather than grind out shit weld and redo it

  • @thatlittleworkshop
    @thatlittleworkshop 11 років тому +1

    Great videos and very informative. One hint to anybody going for welding tests is practice and more practice. Also practice everything thing with both hands, welding grinding, filing cutting, etc. you will be surprised at how good you can weld with your other hand. And one more little thought the rules here in Canada can get stupid sometime too, LOL

    What is the key to get that nice bead in the inside of the pipe?
    I have had problems with getting a good bead inside the pipe, despite changing settings and welding style from walk the cup to back and forth and also lay wire. However I just can't get good bead on the root. It just barely breaks the corners of the root and creates a very flat bead. Similar that on your earlier 6G pipe welding video.
    Cheers

  • @wickedcurve
    @wickedcurve 12 років тому

    I would be real curious as to what the root looks like on the inside. Personally it seems you were going fairly wide with your root by slightly going onto the bevel, which can cause suck back. I take quite a few 6g tests on heavy wall (.625) boiler tubes (2") and was always taught to not go any wider than the wire; provided of course if your gap is 3/32" and you're using a 3/32" wire or 1/8" gap using 1/8" wire.

    @SuperPersianLord 11 років тому

    Note, tape containing chloride is not used because of the health hazards involved with the poisonous gas that forms when heated. I worked on a job where a bunch of guys got pretty messed up from using the wrong tape. I think it smells good, but your lungs and nose don't see eye to eye.

    And what angle should the bevels have?
    Thanks

    @BlackGTO2006 11 років тому

    Jody, I have a question on torch angle. Most what you hear on tig is to keep the torch straight or up to a 15 degrees to the puddle. But most of the videos I see on a 6g shows the torch more at a 45 degree to the puddle.
    Could you please expand on torch angle on a 6g test? Thanks

    @enrithefury 12 років тому

    How much Amperes are you Using?
    Gas amount per minute?
    'cause i see a lot of fusion when you take the arc out, up the bevel...
    I do these joints with a range of A between 50 and 80, nothing more. X ray tested, with a 4mm cup, 2,4mm tungsten, 2,4mm rods and 4 Liters per minute Argon flow. :)
    You should try making a longer crater filler time with a lower amperes...
    And I see you're not welding in a constant position...
    So an inspector cannot grab your balls if a overhead position looks worse...

Never heard of it here, then again I am in Canada, been a welder over 36 years, never seen heavy steel pipe done using tig,but same rules apply... good vid,, I see you have a few trols as well, so have nothing better to do, put were is there vid..?? good job

    Another consideration that wasn't mentioned is that these welds are used to weld pipe that carries hazardous substances - think oil pipeline. You don't want those welds failing, so you need to know that the people making those welds are capable of making them properly - bad welds in certain situations can lead to environmental disasters. This is only one facet, but there are other reasons too - the 6G test is to separate the welders from the really good welders - the really good guys get the $.
