Just a tip for tigging off the pipe pro. Set to lift arc then adjust the arc control down( I set mine at -2 on the soft side) then when you get to the end your pass long arc a little bit and it will give you a down slope effect to extinguish the arc with having gas coverage the entire time. It’s a badass feature and works great! Hope this helps
@@jrwelding6908 I will take any advice I can get bro I don’t know it all But I’m Down to learn always something to new to add to the arsenal of information archive
@TheWeldProfessor --- I like how you are changing it up and showing the actual field work along with the workshops videos that you show on youtube and explaining your welding techniques. Makes me want to up my game 1000 fold. Great video.🔥
Couple of things I note that are different here in Australia where I come from. 3.27 shows the slip on flange, your welding the back fillet first, I was always taught to do the inside fillet first to minimise distortion on both the flange and the pipe, especially on stainless. 3.27 also shows the uneven fit up gap around the circumference, between the the outer pipe wall and the flange bore size, I can see daylight gap on the bottom, and no gap at all on top.. Is there reason for this? or are your standards different/ more relaxed than ours here. Nice welds 👍
Looks slick the only thing I woulda done differently is run a straight edge across the two branches on top of flanges to make sure your height is dead nuts, you can probably get the hi low out in the bolt up but you still want your flanges to be flush. They may be both level but still want height within a few mm
I am also working these Biogas/ renewable energy projects…… pulling the methane off some digester tanks…. Running it through some charcoal filters and other equipment Eventually tying into a distributon line for a local energy company…… really cool project and process all around…….. question : are you purging these welds ? Not so much the slip on flanges but the fish mouth and so on ?
I’m up here in Ny…… these are going in all over…….. wherever there’s Methane being flared off these are going in digest facilities, land fills….. you name it. I’m a Union rig welder in Ny here…. My company does predominately compressor station, metering station work….. some small ROW spreads, creek crossings… they been branching out in the renewable and LNG sectors these last couple years……. Currently in talks for a big RNG project at a landfill …… tons of weld inches …30” stainless sch 10 and down……. These projects are great work 👍 On a side note been following your content for few years now….. some great stuff !! Good work and projects you been involved with 👍 I only asked the question about purging because I was wondering if you been or have to use Solar flux, especially when there a weld in the middle of a run someplace….. I know Stainless needs to be purged in general, curious how the welds in the middle of a run are getting some shielding coverage is all
I don't know if you've ever seen them, but the yellow 3m radial bristle brushes and and arbor and a drill makes cleaning color very easy on stainless steel
Well my saddle was true to the two hole so when it set on the pipe it was really close but i use a squares straight edge across the two holes and match it to the pipe
If you’re gonna be doing a lot of stainless work and invest in a portable plasma cutter. that looks like schedule 10 gotta watch the heat and put that stainless sugars real easy
Manually spinning the stainless on the Carbon Jack stands puts grooves in the stainless exposing the pores of the metal …… at some point it’ll show oxidation slight rust…. Easy fix for this is lightly buff those marks and seal with clear coat…. Maybe you do have those Jack stands protected ….. just couldn’t tell🤷♂️……. But I always use clear coat when the pores of stainless are exposed to the elements….. stainless has Chromium coat on it for that purpose but it always gets compromised especially 304 and 316 stainless
@@huntergober3558 yeah it was just kinda a last min grab and go no details of what I was needing I should of been a lil more prepared while I was fixing up the red rig. I normally like to just pack my toolbox And not the roll pack but I had very minimal tools in it
Looks good but I have found it’s easier to make my flange welds last on the spool it’s easier to 2 hole and compensate for level and square and shrinkage especially with stainless
Everyone is different and I don’t knock anyone’s hustle I simply think we all mean well and some are better than others. I stay in my lane and fab how I like. I can’t really pick up other peoples habits because it slows me down. I work at one speed. Accurate and efficient. If it can’t come out good and decent and it’s to much piddly I don’t waste my time tinkering down that lane. Nothing against your statement that all good for a man learning and burning. We all want the end result the same and some take short cuts on work. Stainless is just its own art. I’m no master of it but I throughly enjoy it.
Dang bro out in the wind doing some stainless tig… must be ficking nice. I did some stainless welding for a tanker company filling and blending pits in the metal then blending and polishing. We use a hose to bring in fresh air and a fan to suck out the “old” basically just breathing an ozone at that a certain point
Seems like that take a lil more set up and time then what I was doing in a bind. I didn’t know what I was getting into thought it was simple and then it ended up being this . Gotta learn to shoot from the hip can’t always be like woulda coulda because of course I should of
New upload🫡🤘🏼🤘🏼💥 What’s up with that start, I haven’t seen that done before? ( I heard of n used “scratch start” way back when I was in school ).. but not like that?
Yea that’s what your doing, asking that question right in beginning before watching rest of video ( so I didn’t forget to ask ) that’s cool and haven’t seen that before.🤜🏼🤛🏼🤘🏼
@@swift__ the flick start is to save the life of the tip so instead of sticking the tungsten ya slap the metal and tungsten with rod been doing this for about 8 years now
Working with stainless get in the habit of keeping painter tape with u to wrap on ur jackstand heads no company likes rust to infect they’re stainless pipe
I get it but ya know it’s not always the case . I always end up with cardboard on them when I’m outta tape or it’s buffing it when I’m Done with the stainless wheel.
Who’s your…… equipment supplier ?? Hitachi….. Aqua ?? Damn, job is pretty much like what we’re doing at ours except our Digester plant deals in food waste ( yogurts, milk waste, food wastes ect ect…… use to do cow manure profits weren’t there 🤷♂️
So informative! Great job Wally!
Thank you

That Pipe Pro runs a slick stick weld though😊❤
Interesting. Thanks. Just started Tig. Got MiG and Stick down pat.
Keep it up mr, your a great welder. Be safe and god bless
@colbygenerous7392 thank you 😊
Awesome man. I’m a refrig tech in Canada and we’re seeing more CO2 refrigeration systems all TIG welded. Love it man.
As a rookie high pressure welder this is so inspiring ❤️ keep up the work!
-from Canada,Qc
Hell yeah Wally, these videos are slick! Appreciate it man!
Anytime
Great job keep up the great informative work.
Thanks man
Always love a long format WWW video! 💲
Me toooo

More to come! And man thank you just getting started
I’ve always loved your videos but your video quality has gotten noticeably better over the past bit! Keep it up and can’t wait to see what’s next! 💯💯
Happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Love your content man 🔥
Thank you
Lol.. 10.45 that saying.. we show you the tool properly lol.. starts cutting with a grinder without a guard..lmao 😂😂😂😂..love it. .
Who is using a guard 😆
Love these videos !!!
Thank you
Slick. Real working welder. Thank you. Followed you for years on instergram.
Thank you man I appreciate you being here
Hey buddy! Glad to found your channel! Flanges are scares the heck out of me
Thanks for the sub!
Bon Boulo😁😁👍👍
😊🙏
Weld the inside last. If you seal both sides it can build pressure and blowout your cap. Especially when stick welding
Bad ass dude! 🙌👊

Yeah they bad ass
What was your process for setting the two hole with the flange in a horizontal position?
Well my saddle was true to the two hole so when it set on the pipe it was really close but i use a squares straight edge across the two holes and match it to the pipe
If you’re gonna be doing a lot of stainless work and invest in a portable plasma cutter. that looks like schedule 10 gotta watch the heat and put that stainless sugars real easy
If I would have watched the whole video before commenting😂 u state it’s sch 10

Is this a good thing for someone looking to get into pipe welding as a job if we have decent experience? Is this x-ray?
Nope
Correct me if I am wrong but could that not be stick welded rather than tig? Nice work though all the same.
Not this job
Your awesome dude. Bsafe.❤. 6011 video?!
You bet
I'm using 316 L stick when it comes to stainless welding. What are your thoughts on stick welding fir stainless?
I have done a tonnnnnn of stainless stick welding. I got the slag pop scar on my face to prove it. Man that stuff shoots off like a loaded pistol 🔫
@@TheWeldProfessor lol yes! I believe that shit man.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@TheWeldProfessor - what do you store in your rolling packout?
Not sure what ya mean? Like what kinda tools do I carry?
@@TheWeldProfessor yessir, I store some of my fab tools and grinders in mine, but was curious to see what you keep in the ol Milwaukee box
@@huntergober3558 yeah it was just kinda a last min grab and go no details of what I was needing I should of been a lil more prepared while I was fixing up the red rig. I normally like to just pack my toolbox

Sometimes it be like that 🤷🏻♂️
Heck yeah welding that "white metal" turn and burn "wWw" 🤙🏽
Whiteiron hustle
great vid as always, but why no glove on the torch hand, definitely feel like that would get hot fast
Sometimes after a bit but here wasn’t on it too much to get hot enough
If you’re worried about wind, have scaffold builders build you a hooch. Common practice in plants
I just build them myself Steve. That's my solution
Use a hole saw makes saddles go one size bigger then you need

Done with the stainless wheel.
Yeah though the same, pretty cringe worthy watching that 😬
Is this considered “pipe fitting”???
Sure
That was u! We just put in a drain line next to u guys the other day
You gonna be on the new with us too?

Yup both
Where are these jobs kind if jobs located at? Down south?
Yes Arizona New Mexico Texas Louisiana
Stick welding stainless is a lot easier for me. ✌🏼
Brutal
Wonder why you didn’t just put pipe rollers
Ya would think If I had em I would of used em huh how about that 😂
Build you a cover 3 walls lots companies rent them I had my own then it's part of job you need it just saying weld on brother
I normally have one but unfortunately this day I did not I have a whole zip up enclosure
It's just 308, man. Nothing weird
Not sure what ya Mena
We called it a hutch in the old days
🙏
Hooch
ThumbUp& LeaveAComment 4AIgozAll
Dude you need wind breaks
I normally carry a pop up with walls and weld in it
Stop being such a baddie 🥵
lol I will try really hard
Hahahaha
