Stick Welding Pipe Uphill

[@ElConquistador24]

I am so thankful for videos such as these. They offer a plethora of useful knowledge on welding processes and the different applications they are used on. However, I am very disappointed on where this nation is heading as far as employment is concerned. For example, I am 26 years old and I am trying to get into a local union here as a pipe welder/pipe fitter. I have extensive skills in welding and have a lot of potential; for the life of me I cannot find any welding employment in my state- Washington. We as a nation need to put emphasis on training a new generation of skilled craftsmen. Getting into a union is near impossible, and I have the skills, experience, and potential to be trained as a pipe welder. I wont stop trying. Anyways, thank you for the videos. I love watching and learning.

Welcome to the United States... there isn't a shortage of welders; that is a lie told by the welding schools. The problem is there is a shortage of work and if you don't know the right people you won't get on any of the work that is out there... ASME code pipe welder here... having to just trudge my way through the neck deep bull shit of this industry. If I could go back and change it all I damn sure would.

i find that funny when im 24 here in Illinois its tons of welding jobs, your in a state where welding isnt need i recommend you go to Ohio or Texas they weld alot starting at 18/hr

[@ElConquistador24]

Thanks Jon. Yes i am contemplating on moving, if i do not find welding work within a year, or i dont get into the Union where I live.

[@soepicgames]

im actually getting into a second union its so easy to make union here you just got stay focus and weld to there specs and everything will go well

[@ElConquistador24]

The union here is unbelievably hard to get into and they lay off at least twice a year. Thank you for the info. Union pipe trades is what I want to do for my career. And I might move to do that. Texas or ohio?

[@mercurycid]

[@doctrineisone]

Informative...thank u mr Tig

[@MrJgstoner]

Well done! I like this video a great deal

[@IsaacOLEG]

excuse me, hot pass still 6010 ? I will probably never weld any pipe, but learn so much on general welding "state of mind" , Big thanks For the fill, you need to touch lightly each side to be sure to dig in the wall and the toe ? I like how you take care that the slag roll by itself until you need to push it away , that is an amazing show of knowledge

[@Prince-ow4pt]

What size is your land and gap?

[@scottb4029]

Why couldn't you do FCAW on a pipe in the oil and refinery world, would it work or would porosity be a problem?

[@philipharrauer9103]

How much amps did you run on the cap and whats the diameter of the rod?

[@albertotorresjr2013]

how do you cut out a small section of a weld to repair on pipe?

[@mikeford963]

Alberto Torres Jr Zip disc and grinding disc ir gouging depending on the pipe wall thickness.

[@ixGaNgStASoDmG]

what's the best way to cut off a backing strip for bend test?

[@gamblerscop7769]

Matthias McBride scarf, oxy acetaline with gouge tip. only 2 I use.

[@adamralstein1012]

Just a quick one, can 7018 low hydrogen rods be used on pipe welding..... Been reading 6010/6011 best suited

[@cammurray8453]

Adam Ralstein it absolutely depends on the code and weld procedure.

[@Prince-ow4pt]

What's the amps used on the root pass?

[@acb5015]

75-80 amps up, 100 down

[@tomherd4179]

Thanks for the video. I am 69 and not going to be a professional pipe welder, BUT I am learning as much as I can, as I find it completely enjoyable. Also, being a club member of a thrashing bee show I have had the opportunity to attempt welding various old engines and carts. TIG welding a cast iron piston with a missing piece. Now back to a question - I was not sure of the angle the rod was held at during the passes. it appeared to be at a 90 to the pipe, like a radius movement. Is that about right? Thanks again!

[@deansellers1143]

you can b a pro pipe welder.but not from watching these clowns.

[@kevhughes1676]

Dean Sellers = douchebag

[@tomherd4179]

Guess you can't answer an honest question. Most are not like you, thankfully.

[@kevhughes1676]

Tom Herd sorry Tom my comment was not aimed at you.

[@kevhughes1676]

Tom Herd Dean sellers trolls through weld. com videos repeatedly talking about how much they suck and how awesome he is.

[@danielainsworth4092]

bobs a master welder and drags that root in there, is dragging the best way to put that root in there? if so, why?

[@beaker1736]

whatever gets the job done is the best way whip and pause steady drag, i used a drag on the bottom of the pipe then once i get to about the 4 or 5 o clock on the pipe i start whipping and pausing and turn the amps down a bit

Vendria muy bien poner subtitulos en latino .gracias

[@servantofgod5642]

What is a pipe? What does it do? It looks like you could put skins on the ends and make it a drum.

[@younghonor6859]

I am certified in 6g sch 40 pipe. I just recently moved to Las Vegas Nevada but cannot find any work. I'm not sure where to look

[@gregg4164]

Did you receive and certify from a previous employer? did you test independently and pay for the certification yourself? If a previous employer paid for your cert, he then owns that certification. You can not transfer that to another employ. In the UA Pipe trades we certify at the union schools and those certifications belong to us and can go with us from job to job and contractor to contractor. Where and how you got your cert determines whether you can continue to use it or not. there are also other qualifications needed. 6G sch 40 pipe is only a small cert. What size? What wall thickness. That cert is limited to the specifics of what you tested on.

[@luisbonilla8306]

not sure about vegas but theres a lot of welding jobs open down here in houston or texas in general

[@krs1732]

not no more lol

[@luisbonilla8306]

+KRS 1 sadly true lol

[@krs1732]

Luis bonilla don't worry dude when the oil goes back up u Tx and La guys will be drowning in work

[@manuelcubidedparra2664]

Me gustaría que el video fuera traducido al español gracias.

[@_kline9571]

he didn't show doing the cap on the bottom section

[@GeneralAlex4]

Nice video; but please get Mr. TIG some nice gloves and hood and jacket!

[@Domm2495]

6G stick welding video next?

[@maintmech1245]

Finally!!

[@gregg4164]

Your not allowed to use a grinder or file on the finished cap pass. If your high it fails. If there are grinding or file marks on the finished cap pass it fails.

[@apihmohd]

gregg4164 yes if you are on a test..but in the field its different..and bob were demostrating how he used to weld on field..

[@ohshucks7156]

The bottom of the pipe is not fit correctly

[@АлексейПлотников-ъ5й]

Как-то всё не так!

[@billyf4009]
