Tips How to Pass a 1G Stick Test

My teachers name was Johnny Napier. He was in the navy and taught navy divers, and he welded for NASA. He had us do our test very similar to this in 2007. I was definitely lucky to have the honor of him teaching me how to weld. I never could make a good living from it, but I've helped more people than I can count and myself many times. I love welding. It's just something about it that makes me excited. When I smell that smell, it does something to me. I wish I could've found a job and made a career from it. I enjoy your videos, and I appreciate the reminders of when I went to welding school. Have a good one and great job.

One thing I tell my students about overlapping passes is to look at the previous bead, you will notice a portion of the prior bead to be "lit up" by the arc and cover that area with the new bead by watching the toe on the new bead. Similar to what is done on the soapstone mark. Another great video!.

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Welders today are having high tech welding machines. Back in the early 90 we had simple 380V industrial welder machines with a remote adjusting knob. Went through all the tests for x-ray. Not a walk in the park but confident grew with practice. For the root gap we measured it to be the diameter of the weld stick core. No back plate. Nice to see your videos 👍🏻

[@GodslilRedneck23]

Frank-T thank you sir, I also learned in the 90’s on an old transformer. Gap was the diameter of the uncoated rod. 6010 root 7018 fill and cap. Things have changed a lot since then.

[@graxtheswampgoblinarchmage5356]

First test I've taken was my 6g open root cert on 6" pipe two weeks ago. Ran 6010 root and hot, and 7018 for fill and cap. I'm a certified welder now, so that's a job title change and decent pay raise.

QUESTION...can you put soap stone line during the certification test? Thank you for awesome video.

[@xiry3921]

One thing I can tell everyone is that if you have to stop during your actual test you’re gonna send in, make sure it’s in the middle / close to it !!!!! They will cut and bend 1 inch in from the end and cut a 3/8 bend strip out, so to make sure you have the best chance to pass do that:)

[@resirvoirdog94]

I remember asking some coworkers where the strips would be taken out, and they kind of laughed it off and said basically pretend like it's getting x rayed. Which is a take, but, to anyone stressing about taking a test, you can reassure yourself that you're absolutely giving yourself the best possible chance by avoiding restarts in those coupon zones.

[@eddiegirvan2394]

a few things i like to have when ever im welding but for sure when testing. they ll really get you out of a bind if you get some slag stuck in a tight spot. first a pipe fitters flie. 2 a small chisel like 1/4 inch. 3 a full hack saw blade and last take a hack saw blade and cut it in half at about 60 degrees to give you 2 nice sharp picks. great video love em. keep up the great work.

A 6" plate you can do that with 1 rod if you run stringers which is what I was taught yes its helpful to show restarts on tests because you will do that in the field another helpful tip on testing put your ground on the bottom of your plate welding away from it helps arc jumps at the end

[@gordjohnson70]

It's NEVER mentioned on any video, but ALWAYS put new lenses in your helmet before doing ANY test. "Back to basics". No instructor, welder, or examiner would ever dispute this.

[@johnadams4427]

Kind of amazed I've never heard this tip about tests before but it's absolutely correct- especially if you've been using the same lens for a while, it's WAY too easy to forget how dirty it is until you get a new one in there!

[@resirvoirdog94]

Great tip, i really think one of the things that held me back the most early on in school was using DIRTY lenses. As an amateur, you might think you're not supposed to see much, but you can actually see crystal clear with new lenses.

[@trevor4081]

Just took this test except it was on 1" plate and it's getting X rayed and ultrasounded. It was actually a lot easier than I thought, no starts and stops because it was only 5" long but I reused all my rods so hopefully that doesnt screw me lol I think it should be fine tho. The only real challenge was getting it to fill fully because we had no run off tabs but I just turned the test around after every pass so one side didnt fill more than the other

Shorten up your rod. Yes youll probably have more tie ins but the shorter your rod, the less affect shake will have at the tip.

Things that I do that seem to help, try to get the part, plate, or whatever hot first. just heat the metal a bit, the wire seems to go in smoother. As well as make sure you are dragging the wire as opposed to pushing. Listening to how the wire interacts with the metal can tell you a lot as well. If it's jumpy and spatters, you might have wire speed to fast, it should sound smooth when welding. Just some things that help me
