A Welder Fits-up an Olet Using Basic Hand Tools | Pipe Fitting

Here is one for the welders who might need to do some pipe fitting in a pinch. Matt Arnold from Warrior Welding is going to fit an olet on a pipe using basic hand tools that every welder already has in his tool box!

[@adolfouresti7561]

great stuff!! thats one the best ways to find the center , but an ol timer taught me that you gotta divide your O.D by half after leveling your pipe and using your big square (depending on pipe) and level mark it and there you have a true center 👍🏻

It all helps putting it together. Thank you!

Awesome video, very educational! I only have one small observation, π(pi) is actually a constant, it's not 3.14in, it's just 3.14. If it was inches, when you multiply 5.5inx3.14in your result would be 17.27in², which is inaccurate.

And the older guys still use the same techniques. Which I have no problems with. I respect and listen to the older guys. But there's always those things the younger guy shows the older guy and the older guy goes well ill be dam. That thing is pretty cool. Wish I had that back in the day.

It is safe to say that you totally fried the pipe while cutting. Your flame was to yellow. just up torche correctly one time fast run around layed out hole, clean with file of rotary tool be done with it. A lot of people learn but in a bad way in your video. Sorry if I am too critical.

[@johnw4590]

Great knowledge! Only problem is, if you were my high school math teacher I probably wouldn't be welding 😁 just kidding! I eat sleep weld ! Thanks for the great tips!

[@Fox40Racing]

For the math, you could also do 17.27 x 28 divided by 360

[@jeffgiesbrecht537]

You are the guy to go to

[@elkvis]

if you have your homemade pipe wrap, you don't even need to do anything with pi. You can take your 90-degree increments and just divide that up. If it's 4.3 inches from 12 to 3 o'clock, like in your example (17.27 / 4), 28 degrees would be 4.3 inches times 28/90, which gives you 1.34 inches.

[@weldtube]

Gotcha👍. Quick question are you a pipe-fitter or what craft do you work in?

[@stuffwithwillsikes7727]

Hey

[@jasonmills9158]

You know an actual pipe wrap is only $23 on Amazon. Usually there are dozens of them where fitters are.

[@All-things-shitbox]

This was really useful for learning how to figure the degrees considering I’ve never had to put in an olet at on odd degree like that always just center top/bottom or 45-90° out but The actual fit up could’ve been done a lot easier. I’ve never marked inside and out and just split it I was always taught to just mark your outside and angle your mark in a little and let the olet actually sit down in the pipe just a hair, cock it to one side tac level it tac the other side then just level or square it the opposite direction. Not saying anything you did was wrong but kind of got off the topic about basic hand tools in my eyes when you brought out the center punch and the dremel I don’t use anything but soapstone, a torpedo, a square in certain situations and my chipping hammer to pry it back and forth when fitting them in position or a maul if I’m fitting in the stands. This is definitely a good way to learn but may not be the simplest to someone who’s never done it before

[@PIOCHENV]

how long is this going to take

[@mcqcjc8409]

6:15 WE KNOW THAT RADIUS IS 360 DEGREE. U SIMPLY DIVIDE CIRCUMFERENCE BY 360 AND U GOT LENGTH OF 1 DEGREE SO LETS SAY PIPE CIRCUMFERENCE IS 1357MM AND U NEED 63 DEGREES. (1357:360) x 63 = 237.475mm

A lot of these guys giving you props man, but start wearing your respirator. Not only when you are welding, but when you are also grinding. This is coming from a 3rd generation welder my friend.

[@MrAnviljenkins]

Nice video :-). But with calculator in hand I would not round anything while doing the math. Rounding can come back to bite you so IMHO it is a habit to avoid unless you are forced to do the math long hand with a pencil ;-).

[@Warriorweldingtx]

I agree, doing the math not rounded was roughly 1/16” different or about 1 degree. After you factor in the thickness of the marker I was using, etc... it really doesn’t throw it off enough to affect the overall outcome of the layout. Thanks for watching sir!

[@arkadiuszslezak238]

proportion 28o / 360o = x" / 17.27" so x"= 28o * 17.27" / 360o = 1.34"

[@jamestboehm6450]

As an old welder fitter you done good. Easier to cut the inside line and grow the hole, you will not get any more flow with an oversized hole and may create a vortex with flow and bypass. Good tips for the newb tho.

[@kpyankfan48]

Very cool, could use a klein inclinometer as well on top of your framing square. Zero at TDC and slide the square around the pipe to whichever degree

[@jca66]

That's the way I do it but this stuff is good to know.

I always take a welding rod, at about 2" use channel locks to bend a hook. Then when i start my hole with the torch, put the rod in. Keeps your coupon from falling in the pipe. And no soapstone at WeldTube?!?!

im a commercial pipefitter...woulda used a mechanical T....i'm also a welder....still woulda used a mechanical T....(installs with a drill and hole saw, for those of you that dont know.)....what you welded on has no connection point....no victaulic or threaded connection....what connects it to your next section of pipe?.....or do you weld all of your pipe?.....

[@Warriorweldingtx]

It’s a socketolet, one side saddles the pipe and the other side is a socket connection. I have never fit for anyone else only myself, I weld all my own joints, a one man show if you will. Thanks for watching and your input! Take care sir!

[@leecooper7374]

Cool video and educational. I’m a machinist by trade 33 yrs come October. The biggest thing is see with the younger generation coming into our field or Maintance in general is they can’t read a tape measure, a rule or a scale. They won’t ask for help or when they do they loose interest or don’t pay attention. Just my little rant. I’ll be using the tricks with the center head and framing square. Even an early 50’s old guy learned something today. 👊👊👊

[@ianjoseph145]

helpful video thanks weldtube.👍👍👍

[@colelewis2839]

I did my apprenticeship training at sait in Alberta. Another good way to find your center mark for your fitting from top dead center is using this formula. Degrees divided by 360 - take that number and times it by the radius, times two, times pie. That’ll give you the full arc length. Looks something like X*/360* x 2 x r x 3.1416 Both work just as well, just something different!

Roll the pipe to 12 Oclock Level. Tack it, then Roll it back down to the Degree needed to make the fit.

[@TheBluConcept]

Does this formula also work with Millimetres for us metric guys over the pond?

[@Warriorweldingtx]

I don’t see why not! Just have to convert the numbers. Thanks for watching Adham!

[@andrewbennett3007]

Yes, only error in the video is he said PI is 3.14 inches which isn't quite correct. PI is unitless. You can convert directly into the arc length from degrees by using the formula PI X Deg X OD / 360. Put whatever units you want into OD and it will give you the corresponding arc length of the same units. If you use the same numbers from the video in the formula I've provided it will give you 1.34" of arc length at 28 degrees with the 5" pipe (5.5" OD). This is exact. In the video he rounds pretty significantly which would cause him to be off by over a degree (29.1 vs. 28).
