what some old pipe fitters taught me. leveling fabrication.

[@sergioramirez3328]

Bring back memories when i was a pipe fitter works great keep on welding

[@126inasplit]

Definitely a good tip. Working with a welder right now that levels off of everything and by the time we’re done... it’s off here and there, some way or another.

[@draperwd86]

So basically just level off the flange. The one thing to go off of...got it.

[@jessicarose9724]

Another good trick is to place your level the same direction on each piece. I put a S on one end of my level and make sure it is always south.

[@5bigjeff]

great advice keep them coming you guys are doing a great job

[@johnw.peterson4311]

If you did it wrong, you had better pray you did it right. That is awesome! Lol. Good job And great tip.

[@bluecollarblood1830]

Right on brother,your work point stays the same.Boom!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍

[@alexfinn7989]

An accumulation of error. Thank you for the video.

[@ShanThurman1978]

Great tip bro keep them coming

[@907wesside]

Anyone come here hoping to see him waving a Flange Wizard around?

[@BullRidingIsMyLife]

Am I the only one that's noticed the welds before the video even starts.. slicker then owl shit. Learning everytime I watch one of these videos keep up the great work.

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

I try not to use levels much unless I cant do it with 2 squares squares dont lie like levels do. good video.

[@JacobSchofield]

Very true just squares are a pain. If it’s critical I’ll use a square but 99% of what I do they want inch’s and they have 8 bolts to pull it around.

[@1ifbyland2ifbysea]

@@JacobSchofield no critiquing here. we get enough of it from inspectors. you do good work man. thanks for the reply. I do a lot of pre fab for plant work so we usually try to get it right so we dont have a cut on install just like most of us. It's good to see the downhill side of the gas work that you do. were all uphill unless the weld techs not looking.

[@mikemiller6628]

Great advice.

[@tylerprescott6394]

Just curious what brand an type of levels you use

[@RenegadeAnimeReview]

Also a reason to use squares instead of levels if ever possible always better to use a square

[@christianpatriarca7009]

George Georgiades that's not what he asked he asked about levels how the fuck do u hold a square without a level

[@landonlandon5533]

@@christianpatriarca7009 ya use two squares.

[@landonlandon5533]

A level is a level, as long as it's level. That brand is stabila.

[@tford4471]

Kline is by far the best I have used

[@ABH313]

Good point, makes sense. I think the word you were looking for was "compounding". If you keep changing your reference surface, the run out will continue to compound. I have a question tho...do pipe welders ever use a string line to check for level? Seems like it would be helpful, especially with long runs of pipe.

[@bricksquadmonoply8835]

Or cumulative error

[@yaelhernandez8144]

They could shoot a laser and use that as a reference

[@dustinrichmond1112]

Hey boss just a heads up you never put a level on a weld but keep the good work up a lot of cut outs coming

[@hectormora60]

Have you worked out in West Texas area?

[@ddmanual7623]

Hey Jake I've been watching for awhile now I'm about to go to school for welding I've been in vo-tech for 2 years now, not much longer and I'll be on the road when I get out I wanna go to the pipeline any tips on how to get started? Like perhaps what should my first step be? Where is the money at? Do I need to invest in a rig? Let me know man and great videos Weld on😎

[@derekdavis9468]

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Gonna ask it anyways. Hope this makes sense. Maybe you have a video on it already. How would you level a 90° or 45° elbow off of a flange?

[@JacobSchofield]

I will for sure do a fit up of both. Very useful info.

[@derekdavis9468]

Thank you sir!

[@blakearndt]

Basic 2 hole technique

[@stevenrodriguez4952]

What happen to the welding jackets!!!!

[@bohaggin5913]

Steven Rodriguez not after labor day

[@carmenpagers-sims4006]

maybe get a 5 foot level for horizontal work may eliminate 40 12 inch levels

[@OlRed.]

Still trying to figure out why some dude with a hood on is worried about fitting pipe....? That there is what we call the fitters job, you tack it where he says tack it and then you burn it out, somebody so much as hands me a level they gonna find out real quick and in a hurry they made a mistake.

[@Nyhm961]

The word you are looking for is progressive error. Its what you want to avoid.

[@Etol1963]

Tolerance stacking is another name for it.

[@tylerh7647]

I always called it cumulative error

[@a.krueger6486]

Cumulative error

[@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty_1]

Error stack up.

[@শাহরিয়ারসবুজ-ফ৩শ]

like it

[@aramirez8427]

Thanks......

[@bamadondon0495]

It'll minimize the amount of Run out.. I know exactly what ur talking about bud ..

[@buckyosheal4961]

Plum square and level

[@cooterusa7714]

Up and down is called plum.....not level. ....

[@chrisreed3515]

It's spelled plumb, not plum. That's a fruit.
