Love how you have your little area! Where Nobody bothers you! Awesome videos im very impressed that you can do all of this pipe with no turn table! Keep up the great content

[@kf8575]

Some top work there again Calvin👍 In the middle of a pair of similar sized spools at work at the moment, different in that they're 8"sched80 with 300lb weldnecks each end, 3 off 4"branches in them, along with 4 off 2" o'lets offset from the branches at 45° and all fully tig welded 316.

[@ChromeToDaDome]

that looks like so much fun to build.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

It was a headache making sure everything was level

[@never2be07]

ARC-ONE WELDING I’ve been there but you make it look easy sir.

[@soccerpkhd5750]

Just came across your channel amazing content you sir are talented my props to you

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Thanks man ✊🏽

awesome work Bro

[@dinohudson1432]

As a fab guy myself (not much pipe) 80's ,like to see the schematics if possible ..btw super nice stuff!

[@andresruizpalacios8520]

Beautifull vídeo. Great Job

[@ammarwaarwaa139]

I love you man and yor work 👏👏👏👍👏👍👏👍🖐

[@MrMercer101]

Love the channel mate keep it up, being a boilermaker from oz ill throw in my 2 cents lol. I feel the use of a string line or chalk line to mark out the outlets would have been quicker as you just have to mark one end then level it to mark the other end, run ya chalk line mark ya centres for cutouts then roll 90 degrees and run another chalk line and mark centres for this axis, simples. Whats the job for if you dont mind me asking?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah i need to try that! It makes so much sense and this is was a simple piece to a new client

[@MrMercer101]

Did she bend much or was that strong back enough

[@miguelhernandez970]

Yo cuando las tomas del colector van a 90 grados divido perímetro del tubo en cuatro partes y luego con un ángulo marco cuatro líneas longitudinales,me resulta más cómodo que ir uno por uno con el nivel,un saludo crack

[@abdelhamidotman2225]

Perfect 👍

[@josemirellanegrete1755]

Amazing skills I have to do similar job where I work at and I hate doing it lol but at the same time I like it

[@gustv5789]

Nice video

[@kristopher5184]

great job

[@LucasSantos-jb6rp]

voce e brabo manda muito parabéns pelo seu trabalho

[@xxxsyphos6847]

nice one !

[@never2be07]

What are your weld settings? Are you using pulse mig? It would make a great video to show in detail the technique you use to weld around those couplings

[@BDE360]

That’s short circuit mig, pulse doesn’t have all the splatter and is much faster

[@top2percent]

Nice fitup. What kind of application is this for?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

This is a header so usually connected to pumps and each stabbing goes to another service

[@usa8835]

Thank video Pipefitter and welding job

[@CP-jt6bw]

Great video, thankyou.

[@elibassplumbing3640]

Excellent video. I am now a subscriber. What type of respirator are you using and do you wear it all of the time , or only indoors ? Also was this done with the Fronius welder I kept seeing in the background ? Great job on your welds . Looks great 👍🏼

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Thanks for the sub! Yeah check out the description it has my mask and welding machine, but yes all welds are done with the fronius

[@pietervliet620]

do you ever use weldneck flanges? always slip on?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah ive welded plenty weld necks but for the most part its slip on, because its usually always low pressure

[@BrutOs75]

clean 👍

[@carof08]

Good idea using c channel for a strong back

[@goneweldin8181]

Any quick tips or tricks to remember our numbers and what do you use a 2 inch on top of a ten to make a 12?

[@zemilho952]

What’s running inside that pipe What kind of industry Lovely job

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Cold or hot water, probably in a residential building

[@javiejaynew4093]

Did you use the level to mark center of pipe? When you dragged it across.

[@davidmcmichael8113]

Excellent Video, if you can please explain, elaborate, and show the following. What type of industry is this used for the fluid passing through it, your mic machine and wire used amperage and wire feed speed, your blue prints showing symbols. I understand your actually at work but it would be nice to see the actual weld of a joint and how you hold your Gun. The symbols you write on the pipe what they mean. I know I’m asking a lot but I learn much better when things are explained and why instead of reading out of a book , it’s a retention issue. PS: As simple as it is the way you find / make a center line on the pipe with the torpedo level is TruelyTrick. Thank You.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

If you watch my 8" on 10" you will see some good welding shots and as for drawing i cant show some things, the pipes have a non disclosure so i cant show everything but bear with me im still new at this and everything will only get better with time 👌🏽

[@emrecantekinay316]

Can u show us welding root of branches? You are using only mig thats why i want to see also the roots.

[@franciscocernuschi566]

Muy bueno el trabajo 👍

[@bogdanr1344]

Perfect 😲

[@gurti17]

What are These pipes used for?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

This pipe for example would be connected to a pipe one side and capped off the other and each stabbing would send water to a room or system.

[@akiraali8005]

Boun travail

[@hool-e-ganfuz2047]

Hey Calvin, great work! Do you get all the tools provided by your employer? Or do you have to get them by yourself? Also I’m wondering how much amps you’re Fronius TPSi has? Greetings from Germany!

[@jaysmith4293]

That must be a manifold for some serious industrial process monitoring?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah manifold/header to connect to various services

[@alexludden6657]

Just curious, why is it red oxide primered instead of black/scale colored?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

This colour comes from the manufacturer so its not painted on, and its standard for the sc20 pipe i use, i have no clue why its red thou

[@David-jq4wf]

Is it possible to put a chemical and particle filter into the adflo at the same time, or just each separately? I would like to buy a Speedglas or a Kowax. I weld steel and stainless steel and then I have to grind right away, like the ones in the videos. They told me that it is always possible to put one filter in the filtration, so I don't understand why the hood is 2in1, when I have to change the filter to a particle filter after welding. Sorry - google translator

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Naa u have been told wrong, the filter is just a fancy particle filter that grabs air from your back which isn't in the weld cloud but it doesn't filter out the poisons, for that u need an additional unit that goes b4 the particle filter and thats for the gas and there's no need to change filters back and forth, i dont use it because its heavy

[@НиколайВолков-ь5ъ]

Посмотрел,один и сварщик,слесарь,работа очень сложная но, и оснастка просто мечта.Где это происходит? И сколько за это мастерство платят? З.П.наверное белая не в конверте

[@jtaship]

Eny NDT? Nice work.

[@johnjacobjingle8302]

Probably not, he didnt even clean the slag out of the torch holes..

[@abenew5927]

what is actually build time for a piece like this?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

This was rather complex so i took my time around 4hrs

[@kylefernandes5824]

Hey mate, with your old 9100xxi speedglas helmet, while grinding do you sometimes get a whiff of grinding dust? Not the actual particle but the odour of it?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah with the standard filter i do, its a weird kinda smell

[@DirtyBikerbits]

You will unless you use the fart - i mean carbon filter lol

[@爪丂乇尺爪卂几]

i am a pipeline welder and i wish i was inside of a shop instead of burning outside

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Or freezing in winter

[@sirshinchan]

The Titanic had less welds than that! 😱

[@davidwilliams5942]

Because it was riveted 😮

[@josefinomalabuyoc4251]

What is ur purpose for playing the vedio so fast...how can we learn some recnique

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Some of these pipes take 4+hrs to make i couldn't fit it all in

[@kevenlevesque2329]

Did the channel make a difference not to bend?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yes it really did

[@varowarsteel2197]

a good welder does it forward, not backward

[@hassanidrisy8363]

[@giorgiodoria1031]

Quel sistema lo usavamo30 anni fa

[@chrisplayz253]

What sort of tolerances do u work with i mean thats a lot of connections from one pipe lol

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

To me it would almost seem like the other pipes will be constructed according to this pipe, or that the spans will be long enough that there's room for 1-2 mm tolerance.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

The pipes have a 3mm tolerance, but this would be installed early on and have final site measurements taken to this, but this part is a header it would come off a booster pump or a boiler and go to wherever it needs to go

[@yanhong7192]

좋아요^ ^

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

How does all the welding on one/two sides affect the straightness of the pipe? Is that why you have something welded on the opposite side to protect the pipe from collapsing?

[@ARCONEWELDING]

Yeah your right, when the welds cool they shrink so all of them welds would make the pipe bow like a banana so the channel helps reduce that.

[@marcusharley3064]

Why didn't you grind out the slag from each cut out hole? Double stacked welds, because you can't weld good enough to be safe enough with one weld. I know many complimented on your work, but if I'm not honest, you'll never learn and get better. All the slag is going to destroy pumps and whatever else its hooked up to.

[@ARCONEWELDING]

I dont show everything on camera, all the slag is cleaned from the inside and off cuts are taken out, and it was a sample piece they wanted 2 runs, but we not all as good as u 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ARCONEWELDING]

And if you knw anything about these system u would know there are strainers before the pumps or fine water ways 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@tyl4045]

There's always that keyboard inspector 😆 I think it looks good man, I double stack my caps on vessels not because It will leak without it, but so I can meet spec with the weld size. We do all dual shield here though.

[@Broski2322]

U can't even call your self a pipe fitter welder u weld mig not stick

[@Dan-lm9hk]

Sorry bud, I come from pressure vessel/pressure pipe welding background, this looks like some 3rd class water pipe we would get the 1st year apprentice to make.....bare wire mig would never be used to weld completely out on high pressure gas pipe/vessels, only STT on root run. I'm guessing none of your welds are subject to RT, UT or the WPS you are welding to has passed required mechanical tests at sub zero temperatures?? Maybe should be called pipe welding for amateurs? Please don't insult the professional welders by calling this welding for pros! Cheers.

[@mickben.5481]

So only boilermakers, welders and fabricators who's work is tested are professional?

[@Dan-lm9hk]

Hey mate, you can interpret my comment how you like......this is just my opinion. This kind of mig welding is very basic and carried out on class 3 water pipe. But to answer your question......In my opinion, to be classed as a professional pressure pipe welder, you should have gone through a 4 year apprenticeship as a minimum and then have min 5 years post trade experience welding pressure equipment to qualified WPSs and relevant Standards. Then let's see if you post a you tube video mig welding on water pipe calling it "how to pipe weld like a pro".......I highly doubt it.

[@beerustheblack2846]

Out of interest dan what pressures are your welds tested too?

[@Dan-lm9hk]

@@beerustheblack2846 Do you mean what pressure are the pipes / vessels hydrostatically tested to after they have passed visual and NDT examination?

[@beerustheblack2846]

@@Dan-lm9hk yes the hydro testing element

[@natraj7944]

Why can't able weld one go with out stopping on branch's around? And your welding always down hill welding on pipes it not method to down hill welding on pipes. Your guiding short cut weldings and dogging welding skills to beginners. Your not using good and professional welding methods on pipes welding.
