The Ultimate Tig Welding Hack For Pipe Repairs!

[@nathanrudd2327]

There’s all kinds of different repairs you might have to do, some are easy, some are a complete nightmare. Good on you to show what a nightmare is.

[@ryanmcguinness7898]

Worst repairs are on coil butt welds the repair is always in between the 2 laps absolute t***s I work at a place what does quite alot of coils, must admit there not my favourite job lol

[@iMeemsPSN]

Awesome video as always. I prefer to use a 1/8” x 1/2” flat file to remove my bur. I don’t like using banana knife. Hacksaw blade works well too but I’ve just personally found my small flat file works best for me. I’m pretty new to pipe welding. Only been on my first union job 6 months but in that time I’ve welded over 50 joints and only had 3 repairs come up (100% X-ray). There’s been many times I’ve put my root in, look inside and say “oops, I’m definitely grinding that out and redoing it” 😂 these were stressful days but very good learning experiences. I religiously watched your videos when I was practicing for my pressure certifications and I continue to watch and I highly value all your videos. I attribute a lot of my success to you X3M, so thanks again!

You make it look easy .

Really good video , I just finish school, and I will start as a welder helper in a refinery . Any advice?

[@dave-mf5tv]

Great arc shot great explanation

[@davoodamookhteh7943]

Perfect job

[@KrogunDK]

I have done a lot of these. Yes, it's almost always in 6-9 or 6-3 o clock. So much fun... not. Especially when it one's own damn mistakes. Porosity is also turning up a lot when welding outside. Shielding from wind can at times be extremely difficult, espcially when doing large diameter pipes.

NICE JOB

[@michaelshortridge6379]

Had too repair another welders X-rays he busted.6010 root. They wanted me tig the repair. I capped with 7018.

[@josesineryorong349]

Hey mate, if the root pass is just flush, can it still pass the x-ray? Thanks newbie here😅

[@X3MTIG]

In summary, a flush TIG root can pass X-ray inspection if it meets the necessary quality standards and acceptance criteria. Proper technique and adherence to welding codes are crucial for ensuring the integrity of the weld.

[@Atupas]

Good work

[@ahlz3s]

Dude, i Love ur channel!

[@X3MTIG]

[@angeldelacruz6176]

Can you do more stainless repair videos with 308 .

[@JoyaMalik-xz7lq]

Super video sar

[@X3MTIG]

Thanks

[@Thewelderlife]

What amps did you use to do the build up to close the gap

[@ryanmcguinness7898]

Did you not go over all the cap with tig and twin run the restto make it all uniform

[@CaleMajor]

What if the repair is on the bottom in position and you cant roll it?

[@X3MTIG]

Same technique applies

[@Repsol000]

I bust through with a razor disk first so I know i hot yhe root

[@thatwelderlife3554]

If you would’ve had an X-ray done you would’ve seen which side of the bevel your X-ray was. No need to open this much. Good info but no need to open this wide

[@Peach-mp4hr]

Bruh who are you to say what to do , he’s making a video to show , it also attracts views by having more open , shut up and watch

[@hadleytorres8171]

Going from a 60 series rod to a 70 series filler rod for a repair wouldn't make sense to me either. And I've never seen a weld procedure calling for 60 series tig rod.

[@X3MTIG]

I was talking about E 6010 stick, and repairing with tig procedure…

[@hadleytorres8171]

@X3MTIG I understood that. I was just curious how they justified repairing a 6010 stick root with an er70s2 or 6 tig rod. 2 different tensile strengths on the same joint just don't make sense to me. Plus the dirty dirty nature of 6010 doesn't lend well to tig welding as you mentioned.

[@X3MTIG]

@@hadleytorres8171 exactly. If I wasn’t there I wouldn’t believe it, still don’t understand, and even asked few QA guys , doesn’t make any sense to them as well!
