🔥 6G Pipe Weld - SMAW (e6010 Root/Fill 7018 Cap)

[@theweldingbeaver8261]

I havent welded pipe since i was 21. Im 27 as of thursday and havent welded but 4 coupons at the house. I had a weld test for AC CORP saturday. It gets bent monday and i believe i passed already strictly from watching your videos. This job is gonna massively improve my family's quality of life. Thank you for everything you do for our community bob. Youre the man, hope to meet you one day and thank you properly!

Bob I'm fairly new to your channel and I have enjoyed and learned from your presentations. I'm retired and didn't think I could learn anything new, but you changed that outlook. Thanks for your time and effort. Great job!

[@danielmcconnell1096]

looks good Mr Bob. The camera angle on your weld camera was set perfectly. on one of the 7018 passes I could see the droplets forming the puddle.

[@johnnyorsojr.4206]

I noticed that too. Great camera shots

Another great video Bob and great cameraman shots. You've done your time and I can truly relate to the one knee down pain. You need to get a nice knee pad that lays on the ground, covered with some blanket, makes a world of difference. Also have one of your crew get you a small fan to keep air on you in the summer heat, again you've done your time, now be comfortable while your teaching, just my 2 cents. Thanks for the great instructions.

[@tekoahawkins7527]

I was afraid I would never see anybody that was left-handed welding, I thought I was the only one.

[@antaresko1]

Tekoa, I´m left hand and try for a time weld with the right too, need practics for training the mind and hand. latter is like just your good hand.

[@scottwillis5434]

Don't see why being left-handed would be a problem, other than someone having personal issues about 'oh NO, not what I'm USED TO, different from ME!'. Maybe need a grinder with the handle on the opposite side, big whoop. There would be some welds having a leftie would be very helpful for (left corners and such). Learning to be good with both hands will be helpful for welding into corners, around pipes, etc.

[@jca66]

I got yelled at everyday when I was learning because I would practice lefthand. Now I'm a pro in any position with either hand. It makes life easier..

[@jeepwk6.5L]

Tbh I’ve been welding for a while now and When I was learning we always got taught abc (always be comfortable) but that’s like finding a needle in a hay stack when you’re in the field. For beginners I would just prop your non dominant elbow and use you’re fingers to steady you’re dominate welding hand. Pretty much the go to. But and the end of the day 90% of the time you’re gonna feel out of comfort

that was great i like to close my gap use a lighter land i the field that speeds things up. i drag my root. hot pass with 7018 feel like it is cleaner, and stronger. that machine runs smooth. i was also a aws cwi. arc strikes are not aloud in are code the grinding has to be kept to starts and stops and feathering tacs, on tests. great job that should help people. the thing i would say is every welder is a little different have to do what works for you.

[@saminyusubov7478]

The distance between the two pipes is a few millimeters?

[@redbird1824]

For you apprentice pipe fitters out there here is a little thing that may come in handy.Now everyone knows that the take up of a 90 degree pipe elbow 1 1/2 times the diameter thus a 4 inch pipe takes up 6 inches but some fitters have to look in the blue book for"takes up" on 45 degree elbows.No need.Use this simple method in your head, say its four inch.Start out with 4 next half of that and so on.Then Add the second and fourth number.Thats the take up.Example 4,2,1,1/2.Use 2 and 1/2 The second and fourth numbers.The take up of a 4 inch 45 Elbow is 2 1/2 inches.Works for all sizes.Also a experienced fitter know that when you weld a 90 elbow it becomes a 92 degree elbow from the heat.If it has long legs it amplifies the amount it is off in the field.Therefore when you fit it together to be tacked put a wider gap on the inside of the elbow.If you are welding it yourself you know how much bigger you can make it. Otherwise you may be off quite a bit on say a 15 ft run.Now if it is off you still can fix it with heat from a rosebud.Heat up the outside of the bend very hot ,them when you put cold rags on it it will bend backwards further than it was before.This is how welders used to deal with piping going going to pumps with brittle cast iron housings to relieve stresses before there were flex pipe spools .

[@saminyusubov7478]

The distance between the two pipes is a few millimeters?

[@RoyBear-o5q]

You go a long way "around the barn" with that 45 degree fitting take out. How about shortening that up by multiplying the pipe size by 5/8ths? I was a young squirt as a pipe welder when my fitter showed me that old method. I looked at it and asked him why not just multiply by 5/8ths. He swore to me that it wouldn't work on every size pipe. It does. . Also, that stuff you wrote about the 92 degree--------------------if you put strong tacks on fitup and welded from the inside towards the outside of the fitting, it will never draw. If you are working high quality piping, such as nuclear code welding, that rose bud stuff and such is illegal.

Can you explain some uses and practical applications for some of the more esoteric welding rods, like xx14, and xx16? They seem to be pretty popular here in Europe (Scandinavia specifically) for pipe roots, whereas cellulosic rods are almost impossible to come by unless I special order them. And maybe do something on any other more specialty/out there/rarely used carbon steel rods that don't typically see much use if that's possible to get a rundown on, just for curiosity's sake?

[@kf8575]

@4:00 "hot pass" with 7018? Here in the UK, ive never worked to any procedure that has called for a 6010 hot pass. The more common fill/cap rod for low to mid pressure pipework is a Vodex 6013 after a fleet root. So after root pass with 3.2mm fleet, just switch straight for a 2.5mm vodex and run it in on the same amperage to strengthen the root. When using LowHy fill/cap for mid to high pressure work, it's 99% of the time either a tig root and hot pass, or a 7016 lowhy root.
