6G Welding Test | TIG Root Pass | Full TIG Welding Procedure ! Part 1/2

6G welding test with tig root pass on a 3" XXH wall, with a full tig welding procedure.
6G is where the pipe is fixed at a 45-degree angle and welded in this fixed position.
So, it basically covers flat, horizontal, vertical welding, and overhead in a single position.
In this video, I will break down the steps to pass the 6G position test, starting with the root pass, and in the second video, I will show the steps from fill passes to finish with a multi-pass cap.
The pipe welding techniques used, and the welding procedure is also identical to the AWS D1.1 and ASME Section IX welder performance qualification (WPQ) pipe welding certification. As per ASME Section IX.
#tig #tigwelding #rootpass
All of my videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and different welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

@X3M TIG please help sir. how to Tig welding in 6G test with carbon pipe 3” sch 40? how to handle, what is no gap or with gaps. I’m few weeks experiencing this test and fail with gaps 3,2mm and filler rod 2,4. please help.

[@X3MTIG]

@@saifulhatf1151 hey sorry I just seen your message. Try with 5/32 gap and 1/8 filler rod, do as I shown in this video, freehand harder side first, keep in mind that you are allowed to use grinders so go slowly and if you think it’s not good fixed and continue on.

[@saifulhatf1151]

@@X3MTIG Yes sir, I will try tips and tricks is suggested from you for next test. I got difficulty when was tested with small diameter and thin pipes (sch 40). Thank you sir, for suggestions.

What's the purpose of large filler material with the tacks? I've never seen that done.

Top demais ,parabéns

[@calebc6028]

is turning your amps up helping keep that puddle up? i always get the puddle falling on my tungsten

[@X3MTIG]

Yeah little bit, inclination of your tungsten and travel speed is important.

[@kendrickhodge4742]

U have help me learn more to prepare myself to retake my pipe next week I messed up in my cap but only difference is I’m using an roller button torch and I gotta run on 116 Amps on an 45 degree angle putting a root pass and cap on a 1/16 gap and either capping it with a 3/32 or 1/16 and but that cup I’m using it’s wayyyy bigger than the one in the video plus my torch im has a curve I don’t have nothing to sit my arm on to keep it steady so I’m thinkingg would it be better than to try to walk to cup it’s like size 8 or 9 I’m normally using an 6 but any suggestions

[@X3MTIG]

Try with cup #8 and 3/32 rod, and walking the cup would be ideal.

[@kendrickhodge4742]

Thanks so much

[@andersonbitencourt6972]

Muito bom

[@bobwferguson]

I did the stick bridge test didn’t pass the root was bad and I didn’t grind it out I didn’t guitar understand the procedure

[@X3MTIG]

Sorry to hear that brother, but that's how we learn, "you gotta burn to learn"!

[@TheScottishCorsaBGuy]

how do you stop the suck back at the very bottom 6 o’clock just keep heat down?

[@X3MTIG]

Yes, or just make heavier root, or go with 3/32 with lower heat.

[@TheScottishCorsaBGuy]

@@X3MTIG oh did you not use 2.4mm filler wire hmm 3mm filler might work better for myself i shall see if we have any and give it a go with that 👌🏻 always some way to make it easier 💪🏼

[@warrior4christ777]

Nice but I bet that gap was 1/4? Not 1/8 as specified. Did I mention "bon job?

[@Avila543]

I tried this today on 4 sch 40 and I tried walking and I kept on sticking. Is the amperage the same ? Should I freehand instead?

[@X3MTIG]

It’s always good to freehand, especially bottom part…

Unimaginable!

[@alejandroalarcon69]

what size tungsten and size of filler rod?

[@Recovery12Life]

Looks like 1/8 tungsten and 7/16 filler wire lol i was thinking the whole time why the huge filler rod. But its probably both 1/8 3/32 would probably be a better choice but if you learn on 1/8 you will like 1/8

[@Then.72]

2.4mm both plus gap but all welders have different techniques so maybe 1.6mm filler wire

[@codydraper13]

Who tf puts a bridge tack on a monster ? You’re not purging it do it the right way

[@X3MTIG]

I do that, and every other professional welder. The tacks are usually specified in the welding procedure (aka WPS ...stands for welding procedure specification) and you should be provided with a copy of the WPS so read it and adhere to it. There you go, you learned something new today!
