How to Under Water Tig Pipe Weld

[@ScavHelperMan]

I've had to do it with 6010 to seal a repair. Done it with tig on sockets that were spewing out steam. Never thought it possible on open root tig. Learn something new every day. Thank you for this knowledge. It takes years to figure out these little tricks usually

[@roberthernandez7767]

Blown away, I'm lucky enough to never have come across this but it's always good to know. You deserve more subscribers for sure!

[@powerstroke0459]

I guess you don't work outside in the field?....

[@bradsilvers230]

I've done some hydro electric repairs and I never thought about this until now. Damn! Great work...

[@stephenwalters1623]

Great video! All of your videos are great, keep speaking truth brother! I've used liquid nitrogen to freeze water upstream in the pipe and then preheated the root. But I didnt even think this was possible. I'll have to give it a go next time.

[@WELDorDIE]

thank you!

[@Thebutteredsausage]

Wow😃 Nice work! I never would think this is possible? Just add some mud,sub freezing temperatures and cursing in the background.. that would simulate the job site!

[@WELDorDIE]

John W thanks. And no doubt there is everything you described at the school too. lol

[@ryanhosein7640]

Hey, great video man. But funny enough, you mentioned the story about George and only last night, I read about it for the first time. How ironic things happen, that is I read the story last night and today found your video with the same story.

[@welderprincess133]

🤯🤯🤯 I'm in welding school now. Did not even think this would be possible!!

[@jeffowens8722]

I enjoy your videos and your messages you add in them. Keep up the good work!

[@kristianskov4841]

Worked with this old-timer. He thought me a truck with white toastbread.... Jam it "upstream", fit and weld the tube.. Open the valves, and the flow will desolve the bread.... Problem solved. Used it on steam pipes a couple of times..

[@rolltide2937]

FYI guys if they gonna shoot this weld don’t do this it’s guaranteed to bust out!!!! But if it’s just a drain or vent then go for it.... I’ve personally always taken a rosebud and heated the pipe 3or4 foot away from the weld or stuffed the pipe with a rice paper dam or a loaf of bread to soak up the water it will wash out during start -up.....

[@austinwilson4440]

Bread works wonders

[@Ethan-sz9hv]

That’s pretty awesome! Woulda like to see more of the weld when he was does.

[@chrisrenaud4141]

this is one of the coolest videos i've seen

[@jodanbnkwrk7400]

NICE! i get these jobs alot, old piping or leaks that have to get fixed in shitty situations, tries it a couple of times and only managed it once, will deffo try again now i know it can be done! thx alot!!

[@ynot3680]

try welding stainless steel steam leaking tube while water keep pouring out.Small tube,size 12 mm.Always make me stress when i find this defect on powerplant site.All valve along the pipe were passing,damage,can't close it.Cannot fully drain the water out.So left me with stressfull day,job not complete.No solution yet.That was a hot steam tube.Urgent,yet can't be done.Still learning.If you show to us.I will be so grateful.

[@jdw329]

I would love to see you guys do this in a 6010 open root version.. awesome video thanks

[@marcosjaimez2837]

Hermoso video! Buena mano de obra felicitaciones, saludos desde Argentina

[@CP-jt6bw]

The best welding clips

[@ericnelson8108]

Another way too help slow water down enough time to get a root in is to throw a few loafs of bread in the pipe

[@stanbruneau]

Is the possible with a 6010 or such type of electrode. If it is I'd love to see how that's done. We have an irrigation project that we often need to fix holes on steel mainline but very difficult to completely stop water drip.

[@TheBlkac1]

This was great! I've always wondered how to someone would weld a situation like that...

[@kencaton6377]

tats pretty bad ass. ive done it with a rod. but wouldn't have considered it this way.

[@jaicabryizky6987]

How about a link to that tungsten sharpener?

[@travisjones5311]

Do you sell the tungsten sharpeners?

[@jamesharrell4360]

Also Blown Away. Now I have a new idea for practice.

thank you.

[@madcapmagician6018]

I didn't even think that this was possible. 👍👍👍

[@joshamaya196]

This is the equivalent of dousing a hot weld with water? This would make the pipe and weld very brittle. If it's just junk alrighty then, but if it's any kind of critical service, then consider it a fail, but not the welder, on supervision.

[@horaciosalinas8145]

I was interesting in the “ how to weld “ but u start preaching ! Oh and I just subscribed

[@WELDorDIE]

If you want to learn to PIPE WELD. Go to Alabama Pipe Welders Academy. They pay you while in school you get a completion bonus. It’s 16 weeks. You get all your tools and a guaranteed job afterwards. Oh !! the kicker the employer pays your tuition. So it’s debt free. 1st Class training. They have Lowest Student teacher ratio in the country. 1:5

[@jameycosby3965]

Alabama Pipe Welders Academy is a wonderful school. My son and I toured last week and were so impressed with the real workplace teaching philosophy. Trey and his staff are top notch.

[@jamespage2602]

No matter what you do an show people there's always negativity about it I'm sure they'll keep talking about it because they can't do anything else but talk negative

[@motorbrains88chris]

What kinda gas coverage are you running wide open on your argon ?

[@evilbunnyreviews]

any risk of hydrogen embriddlement?

[@NSW]

Awsome video. Does it pass xray? Anyway seems like a usefull skill to master.

[@CasanovaFluff]

I wouldn’t consider that small amount of running water to be an underwater weld

[@thisdj83]

He was technically underwater because the water was flowing from above. LOL. It was a bit of a deception.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Well, I just saw it with my own two eyes!

[@melvinmariott8609]

That is tricky right there

[@bakabaka2061]

No inclusions, I hope you don't x-ray that pipe.... That will fail an RT shot.

[@Tacklebox455]

Never pass x-ray ,only system it would be acceptable on would be a drain and that's if no rice paper or drying efforts where effective,that area of weld would be so weak because of the rapid cooling as well

[@WELDorDIE]

+dixiedevil1369 Pass X-ray all day every day

[@Tacklebox455]

@@WELDorDIE must be less strict on there's,would never pass TVA

[@WELDorDIE]

Usually extremes like never would pass. Are just lack of knowledge from experience. Usually these beliefs arise from book knowledge not real world knowledge. in theory knowledge is not fact.

How i get coler in tig weding stanls my weld is black

[@nitrojunkie9027]

If you are turning it black you are way to hot or you have a purge problem. Perfect color is gold to pink. Blue starting to get hot, purple getting too hot, brown way too hot, black scorched.
