HOW TO TEST YOUR OWN WELDS AT HOME // PIPE WELDING PRACTICE (I broke my vise!!!😳)

HOW TO INSPECT YOUR OWN WELDS AT HOME? A pipe weld bend test is common but you can also nic the straps to make it easier to do it yourself as your practice for pipeline downhill welding and any b31.3 welding test or api 1104 weld test. I’m Austin Ross a pipeline welder and on this channel, I like to share my experience pipeline welding to help others. Pipe weld test aren’t something you have to take under inspection to know if you could pass or not. X ray weld test are common but they also use visual inspection which you too can utilize. Testing of welding joints via welding visual inspection is what I’m coving in this video.
If you are new to pipeline welding test or wonder what you would need to pass on pipeline welding test day then watch this video on how to test welds at home. Make sure to subscribe for more pipe welding videos.

Now you can make a video welding that vice, it would be awsome learn how to weld cast iron or steel

[@michaelalmeida8790]

it will break again. Even if you silicon "cool" it and V bevel the entire break, it will break again. Cast is extremely dirty and the mixture isn't consistent, so you have a lot of dirty spots or high iron deposits in it. Sure, you can weld it, but it's eventually going to break right at the toe of your weld.

[@bretmcgee3573]

@@michaelalmeida8790 not if you weld it with the right rods. Too many guys try to lohy it because cast rods are $11 per rod

I guess the fact that you were able to break your vice before your test strap shows how good of a welder you are.

I bought a vise about that size for my personal use in our shop. I let one guy use it and he managed to break the vise off like that by putting a ten foot cheater on a piece of round bar to bend it. No bend but it did snap the vise off.

[@jeffreyplumber1975]

When your off work for a year you think about doing a lot of differant things. thats good being near refinery but you dont have a job there and might not ever work there. Might be a good place to work though. . Im thinking the refinery has a contractor and that contractor hires rig welders. best bet be a shutdown temporary. it could happen but have a backup plan

[@Slydro]

Any advice to a welding student with a now reduced shop schedule and no home equipment. Not running beads m-f is killing me.

[@arosswelding]

Man that would be a tough situation. I’d say relax and enjoy the finer things in life, for the time being. Maybe socialize with others on social media for now, start building your network. And contact list. Your network is just as vital as your skill set in this line of work. Great question. I’m glad you asked. I hope this was helpful. Check out my inner circle if you haven’t already.

[@joshawawilliams37]

Com'on... You been in the oil field on the pipe side for a very long time Sir.

[@hobtink]

I am NOT a professional welder, just a DIY’r with a bit of exposure and experience. I was always told if a rod or Mig wire flux core weld uphill to keep flux from over running and interring with the filler material, tie in and porosity. Yet I see you welding downhill on the pipe. I’m sure different rods, material thickness, prep, weld machine amp settings and welder skills running downhill flux electrode can be accomplished. But is it actually something that would be generally accepted if a QA person were witnessing your weld on a critical weld.

I'm really wanting to start welding school. The only thing stopping me me from starting is that I'm on suboxone right not, I'm going to be tapering off for the next 2-3 months. But I'm having bad sleep patterns and it's like hell waking up in the morning. I feel I'm not at my best. I'm stuck with the decision of starting next month while I'm still taking suboxone and not at my best but push through it. Or wait till I'm totally off of it which will be some time.

[@shermrock345]

I got a question. Do welders have small heads or do i just have a huge head? Every time i look for a cap everything I find is to small.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

If it were possible to film, is there anyway you could show the difference between a dirty puddle in a clean puddle?

[@durpfurper2904]

Practicing for my first test. Is it better to grind your root or run a wire brush? I haven't taken my first test yet, but on the root I wire wheel it, run my hot pass at 75-90 in 3rd gear depending on my mood, and I push till I feel it dig, than long arc to let it fill before I do my next step. I notice the guys who grind there roots tend to scrape drag and step/whip it without really digging. When I say dig, I mean I push down like you push down a pencil on paper till I fill the rod penetrate deep enough into the root bead that it almost pierces through the other side. Is this an accurate method? Self teaching here

[@arosswelding]

Either way, I know guys that grind their beads and I know guys that’s don’t grind em. I’d say most generally most guys grind them on a test but I have known a guy or two that didn’t grind it on a test and still made the test. Everyone welds different and learned dif techniques from others or self thought like yourself.

That looked an awful lot like a Harbor Freight pipe vise. And if you are telling me you got almost 9 years out of it doing pipeline and rig work you are well ahead. I bought the 6in Harbor Freight vise probably around the same time and am happily surprised it has survived and I haven't abused it anywhere near what yours has probably seen. Also for the HF vises, from what I have seen that mode of failure is the most common. You cant expect much more from a Chinese junk cast vise that only costs $80..
