Pipeline Welding-Test Day-Come With Me

So many questions on what is it like to take a pipe welding test. How critical is a pipe welding test. What is the step by step of welding a pipe coupon. Well you guys in this episode we are bringing you a long to reclaim my papers... So about 6 months ago if you go back far enough I ran into a little streak of bad luck. I caught three welding repairs. Can you say I felt like an idiot!!! I hate repairs in general but to catch three repairs is a sure way to get laid off.so after two years and only one repair bam its all over. So one of the things you have to understand is when it comes to welding for gas companies each gas company has there own way of doing things there own welding procceders. but almost all across the board three repairs equals getting your papers pulled meaning you cant weld for that gas company again and a probation period. so for this test I am coming off a 6 month probation period, oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you. you have to take the complete test over again. Big thank you to the company that I work with for keeping us busy and going. hope you guys enjoy as I bring you a long for a welding test for a real gas company. Be Blessed

Nice job pushing the 6010 root in. Never seen much downhill used as you're constantly catching slag. But it does speed up production immensely. I did this type of work for decades and never tired of it and the money. Well done Sir.

[@justindatema9004]

Kinda what I thought with the downhill stuff

[@robertoobregon3750]

Great your brothers are there, they also get to learn. You are a great role model for them and the rest of us.

[@walkerclittle4340]

Love the video, but one thing all weld videos miss are the final product. I understand welders are insecure about showing there welds if there not perfect, but thats one thing weld tube always shows. It helps me get a better understand what is good and okay and will pass.

[@billmcyrus]

He's also on Weldtube and Weld dot com. Certainly not insecure--look at the 80's action movie henchman mustache for example. Dude's rocking it like Bennett from Commando. NOT something one does when lacking confidence. Also it does say he ran out of camera battery.

[@walkerclittle4340]

Bill Cyrus didn’t exactly say he was just that most videos don’t show the weld so that leads to new videos not showing it. I worded that wrong I guess no hate I just think seeing the weld is a plus for the viewer or beginner. I enjoying watching theschofield videos and lifestyle.

[@billmcyrus]

@@walkerclittle4340 Ah, quite right. Some of his videos do show finished welds but I think a difference between him and the other two is that he's doing all this on the job instead of just for the camera. So he might be in a hurry to get to the next one more, certainly in this specific case.

[@PacoGP17]

Nicely done I just passed that 12” .375 wall branch test what a nightmare a lot of hours of prep time and practice time

[@davidsherman9521]

Thanks for the videos and the busts sir! I've traveled and hoboed all my life and just now at forty starting my career and I couldn't have done it as a 7th grade drop out with out these videos and others like them. Im grateful too see your good work and your mistakes; I learn from them and will continue too. On my way look out men I am coming to get that money! THIRSTY FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

In process of getting back to work myself. I had to remember to avoid eating bagels or muffins with poppy seeds for breakfast for a few days.

[@henryrollins9177]

Every worker on the pipelines is tested for drugs?

[@billmcyrus]

@@henryrollins9177 Good question, don't know for certain but a lot are. When I was living a little further up north near the gas fields they went through a LOT of people from failing drug tests. I'm not personally in that line of work but even stuff like banking tests occasionally.

[@dallasdesantisirondesigns3489]

Honest question, why is stick still used when there are wire feed applications for pipe line? I spoke with Lincoln recently and they said they aren’t the only company that makes wire feed applications for pipe line. 🤷🏽‍♂️ just curious.

[@shaneserpa6453]

Downhill can be ran faster and hotter and is less susceptible to porosity, incomplete penetration which is just a few reasons. There are a few others. It's overall the most practical process for pipe.

[@chriswhite4596]

why do we do not see any welds

Mostly just because I forget to do it.

[@Thomas2877]

Ok i wish i learned welding but my question is how come the pancake mask only has a shield on 1 side of the helmet??

[@gtown_cowboy]

Thomas Morg it depends on which hand you weld with on the side that gets covered. It keeps the arc from burning the side facing the weld.

Usually they will check the root check the hotpass then let you cap it.

Im confused here I thought on a TEST you do everything uphill???

[@brandonhernandez9260]

Carlos & Tamra nope there’s a lot of different tests. Downhill stick test jobs like these are common. Downhill mig roots on pipe as well.

[@GeekedGenius]

Brandon Hernandez so downhill is the most common? Do I need to expect downhill or uphill tests? Or just be prepared for both?

[@brandonhernandez9260]

Carlos & Tamra from my experience, downhill stick is mostly for rig welders. For shops or refineries as a singlehand welder I’ve always tested uphill with the exception of downhill mig roots on pipe.

[@JacobSchofield]

Brandon is right. If I was you I would practice both uphill and downhill get used to both of them.
