All great tips. But the secret is to start with a great table. You have spent the time setting up a table, level, and square. A good lesson for a new welder.

[@ulrikdurhuus7000]

No doubt the best content of welding, on youtube! :D

[@Paul-mw8kg]

Brilliant video 👍loads of real easy common sense tips will definitely be trying those methods 👍

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Thats what i love to hear!

[@dannydeshler4327]

I have been a pipe welder for many years, I had used the 3 nuts to set spacing on flanges for a long time...I never thought about setting the 2 hole by using two bolts up against the table edge...pretty cool trick!! You are a very accomplished fitter and fab welder, I like your videos, keep up the great work!!

[@justintasht1067]

Great video really enjoyed watching it and great tips for welding it up👍Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next😃stay safe.

[@sackvilleweldingservices]

Interesting methods. To align those flange bolt holes l would make two alignment tools from round bar equal in size to the bolt holes and long enough to fit through both flanges and with a flat washer on one end. For mass production, it would be many times faster and more accurate than eyeing those flange holes up. The flatness of the welding table is essential using the square to edge method. Cut some square section bright steel bar that equals the offset and use them instead of nuts, much more accurate too. Personally, l would use four and check for wobble on the pipe. No wobble, pipe is spot on. If there is wobble, move assembly on table/bench until all flat and no wobble. That is of course presuming the pipe is cut square?

Saying g'day from Western Australia. Have a good one bloke👍

[@digitalscale76]

Great video, I was waiting for you to drop another one...Your videos are the reason why I switched to speedglass from optrel and I would also love to see more TIG. Thanks for these videos.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Thats what i love to hear dude! Appreciate the support

[@DamnDumbDuck]

Good information and cool video! Good morning from Texas.

[@TomekBlacksMyth]

07:55 use another rule on the top flange bolt holes, then you have accuracy of 1mm over 300mm length. I also used a Height Gauge from the machine shop, once both flanges are tacked on, put a square against the sides to see if the top flange touches, or if the bottom flange touches, we're looking to see if it looks like the capital letter 'I' in italics, spin it around to see how all 4 tacks are. Smash the edge of the bottom flange against the table to knock it true. Then flip the spool piece over and use the height gauge to see how the top flange is wobbling, again, smash the bottom flange to get it parallel. You're MIG welding, I was TIG, so my tacks are small and easily moved. Other problems we had were pipe cuts not being cut square, so the high point was where the first tack went. We made lots of little spool pieces that could very quickly be on the piss so that's why I ended up going that far with keeping them accurate enough. Stainless flanges warp anyway and once everything is tightened up you can usually pull in any leaks at the gasket.

Good vidéo and hello from France.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Thanks bud

[@ammarwaarwaa139]

Cooollll 👍Ilove you man

[@paulusmarc]

Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍

Good morning from Italy.

[@jasona4842]

Been watching you videos for a long time great content....can I ask I'm currently training as a welder and make sure I do things safely....but when walking pass others bays sometimes you get caught with the light coming from the weld....is wearing clear plastic safety glasses effective in protecting the eyes from flash? Daft question but was wondering how you protect eyes when not wearing helmet

[@user-rt9vs3lb4f]

Good👍👍👍

[@AleejandrooVr]

Alguien sabe cómo dónde puedo conseguir el nivel pequeño tipo candado se ve super útil

[@dustinwalden7091]

I’ve got to get me a pulse mig. I TIG my spools and I can probably only do two a day if I’m hustling.

[@ettoredomini3189]

👏👏

[@tonylagundzija1484]

How Come you dont't use 2 longer bults or roubdbar to aline the 2 flanges when you are tacking the second one? No need for looking should just aline automatiskt Thanks for your videos btw!

[@michaelshortridge6379]

I have had slip on flanges like those and holes were off.

[@Denvernuggg]

do y’all have unions out there and if so are you part of the union

[@c.b.7830]

I'm not understanding the bolts on the first flange. There is nothing to square it too. Know the gap between the flange and pipe, why not have 3 spacers, drop them in and tack, flip it over line up your holes, spacers, tack.

[@TomekBlacksMyth]

The first bolts are just OCD to get it straight for him. So when he tacks one side it'll be between the bolts and not some random spot. It's so he can turn his brain off.

[@c.b.7830]

@@TomekBlacksMyth fair

[@jb243wp]

Sorry you'd be down the road if you were working for me mate, lucky they were only temporary spools. You don't have the earth clamp on the flange or the pup, the earth current is going straight through the face of the flange from the bench?? Nice chance of arcing out directly on the sealing face, instant dnc???? Thickness of the pipe wall plus about 2-3mm set back, 16mm (nuts) is way too much 😳 Also they are call SPOOLS because they look like cotton reel spools, not because of stools you sit on 🤣😂🤣😂 Mate some of your other stuff is good but think this wasn't one of your best 😕

[@ARCONEWELDING]

I appreciate your criticism bro, but there's many ways to skin a cat if some of these techniques aint for you i understand that, but i work on class 2 pipe on price work, as for the 15mm flange pull out is on my company they tell us how much they should hang on, and yes pipes are called spools but bits like this we call stools and we got other names like hockey stick for a 90 elbow spool

[@jb243wp]

@@ARCONEWELDING Hey mate apologies for being so harsh, just for me with over 30yrs in piping it is frustrating that one day some young bloke new to the piping trade who doesn't know any better will watch this clip and could possibly end up arcing the face of the flanges by simply not connecting the earth directly to the job, I understand that it's only class 2 standard but to someone who doesn't know (any better) just starting out in pipe fabrication it could cost them their job in their very first day.. Mindful those (apear to be ANSI) raised face flanges have a gramophone finish and it doesn't take much for that to be compromised... Happy fabricating 👍

[@johnnyconcrete5257]

100% agree with the arcing on the sealing face
