not many know, the welder's method of connecting thin pipes is stronger | stick welding thin pipes

[@mrwhite2930]

Ive been a pipefitter for 15 years and i’ve never seen this done once. And it never will be, and it never has been, anywhere in the world ever 😂 but nice little d.i.y home project idea

[@dennbb]

I can't see the point. I'm a mechanic and welded lots of exhaust for 20 some years. Nothing ever fell apart just joining the pipe and laying down a bead.

[@LukeTownsley]

RIght?! Maybe, I won't ever use it, but its a cool way to think about what can sometimes be a difficult problem with a poor setup.. But I agree, I don't know that I have ever seen it done in real life, especially with standard exhaust work. That said, I get myself into enough weird situations, I can see myself having to do it someday.

[@rediron44]

Agreed, Ironworker here, built miles of handrail. Never seen this done in 30 years in the trade

[@tatertots-n-soup]

My guess is it is a homemade welder made from HAND-wound copper wire transformer in a shanty-town. And only 6010 or expensive 7018 welding rods are availible. Since the power is not enough to sustain an arc with 6010 or 6011 to actually melt through the pipe. This is most likely the one national instruction video they have Dont forget to dream and space off about instant silicon based food hydration generators.

[@bigcconservativeguy2534]

Agreed. It's one of those "book learnin" on paper things. technically you have doubled the length of the seam and applied more weld which on paper should be stronger...but again, like you said, nobody does it in practice as its a cumbersome waste of time.

[@ericricks5219]

Use this technique, THEN realize that your pipes were cut to the correct length originally. Now, the pipe is too short to be used because of the notch and the material is wasted. Nice technique, but will take proper planning.

Exactly. I make the inner sleeve, then "V" the pipe ends and lastly rosette weld in a couple of spots on both sides of the seam. never had one fail

[@robertoastephensjr7263]

What I would like to know or what was the welding voltage he use to preform the weld? I have been having trouble with the rods either running too cold or too hot. Can’t seem to find the right medium to get a great pudding. Tired of burning through the exhaust pipes.

[@vicslabz6937]

Great work!! What type of electrode you're using, and what amperage? Thanks

[@joshuayoung6124]

probably next time you could show us what amps you're using to weld on these thin pipes

[@robertoastephensjr7263]

My thoughts exactly

[@TwoMarlboro]

You should try to weld in one go making figure 8 movements. If you start / stop like you do, you will create slag inclusions , weakening the joint and possibly leakage later on.

[@jasonrene5189]

Metal is way to thin to run it in 1 consistent bead . Your heat trail will blow right through. This start stop method keeps metal cool enough to not punch through. yes u wil be prone to get incluson but he is also welding a lightweight fence rail for light duty, it will work . This isnt structural material he is using. 6010 is fast freeze rod (whip this rod) (more metal and less flux) w low hydrogen content as previous commenter stated . Only thing he could have done is stop clean restart but that would have 10x added working time for a light duty application it will suffice.

[@SammyFender]

I’m just wonder who taught you to weld? And I don’t think the fished pipe was the same one you welded

[@KStewart-th4sk]

I have no idea why you think the finished pipe isn't the one he welded? What's the big deal in grinding the weld off to make it look that it was all one pipe in the first place? PLUS you can see the flux from the weld fall on the table as he is grinding.

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

Use 7014 3/16 rod and you dont have to do all that!

[@MrTimodon]

Nice video! But you can also cut the pipes in 45 * angel and then weld it! Its same principle when you make the frame on an heavy truck longer!

[@MisterDivineAdVenture]

Occurs to me that for thin-wall like EMT I could make a sleeve just by expanding using an expander or by cutting and spreading a slice. If that could be flowed with solder - plenty strong for most applications. Would probably be the strongest point in the tube. I need to start building with EMT or other inexpensive 1" thin wall or smaller for a lot of projects. Motivation to get to welding. :) Anyway - if you're answering - what do you think?

[@sykospoo1156]

imnot a welder by trade i do weld often mostly tack weldsbut the joint is a better fit to keep it straight and little warping

[@Denman500.]

I never would have thought of this, great idea.

[@sotm2]

Way bad idea, Way too much time wasted doing this. Just butt weld the two pieces together if you are a real weldor that's NO problem!!!!

[@michaelrobert6386]

You can’t stop and start a bead like that without cleaning the flux, and glass off of it. It pollutes the weld and causes lack of fusion. Further more this fit up for your pipe is very strange. You didn’t clean the metal, it is unbevled, and you seem to be using a common 6010 electrode when it’s usually common to use a 7018 electrode for a welding pass like this. Also, why the hell are you welding with holes in your gloves?

[@dr.stiffsock3662]

Although recommended, you do not need to clean your metal before welding with 6010. That metal is thin enough to get full penetration with 6010. The metal is 1/16th of an inch thick why would you put a bevel on it. That's why he was tack welding it instead of running a straight bead, yes you can do that with 6010 it's a deep penetration rod not low hydrogen it'll be fine.

[@KStewart-th4sk]

Why the hell would you have to bevel thin metal like that? It's even more common to use 6011 or 6013 on this thin wall pipe, NOT 7018!

[@dragoljupcedragce5877]

You can put back plate insade of tube and tu have good weld. For responsible construction thickness of tube are 4mm and higher, I use back plate plus I put 4 ribs around the pipe

[@Evocatorum]

@@daynecarmichael a correct full-pen bevel weld will be as stronger (if not stronger) than the general tubesteel found in the common structural market (A500 Gr. B or the EU Equiv.). If the fractures are happening at the welds, it's likely due to improper preparation, incorrect stick/flux combinations, incorrect welder settings or improper technique. Not once, in my many years of doing structural construction, have I ever seen anyone go through the hastle of welding a pair of tubesteel ends together like this.

[@ronitkumar5154]

[@jimmywaters3987]

If this was a structural, load bearing tube, you would want a smaller tube that fits the inner diameter very closely. It would have to be quite a bit longer than that joint in either direction ( for strength) and held in place with plug/ rosette welds. I have seen fish mouthed tubes to join tubes before, but never this method.
