Shout out to the pipefitters directing the welders and preparing the pipes,cuts,grinds,directing the crane operators,etc. United association of plumbers and pipefitters.

[@user-kj9yz9og6c]

There are no pipefitters on a pipeline, they are called spacers and stabbers, everyone else is a welder or a helper.

[@Treeezplz]

Love the video. No fancy edits, no music, no bullshit. Just video of the work and process. 🙏🙏

[@lowkeymizzles3093]

This is satisfying to see it's amazing how these welders work! I'm impressed! Respect those guys that work really hard on this job!!!!

[@naumanahmadtariq8717]

This is a back breaking job. Respect for these hard working people. Hardcore test of both man and machine.

[@billmcyrus]

Amazing work, thank you so much for bringing this to us. Beautiful root work too!

[@robylambert9384]

Best part of these videos, almost, are the noobs or trolls giving pointers that don't apply to downhill. The "you better get a guard on that grinder" or "downhill welds wont hold." Great vids man.

[@martinschulz9381]

Funny, I worked with uphill refinery pipe welders for years and some don't even know that pipelines are welded downhill.

[@flgkingpin]

Guards are for sissies, lol.

[@diannekiefer2839]

Boy do I miss welding pipe! Great video guys! Be safe out there!

[@rihamy2nd]

I'm just a hobby welder who'd like to one day make part, if not all, of my living from welding. I've seen about all of Jody's videos (weldingtipsandtricks) and have learned most of the "technique" of welding from him, but have recently found fieldres's channel and saw a reply by him to a comment on one of his videos in which he praised you for your skill and knowledge. Jody's videos show how to weld - you and fieldres show how to be a welder. Much respect and appreciation to all you guys for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@NastyLinen]

These are some badass welders! You have some great shots in this video. Have my own rig cant wait until i can get on the pipeline, just have to get more experience under my belt, the only sucky part. Great job with this video, gives the newbies something to look forward to

[@s.nelsonpayne208]

Nice vid. Would've liked to see the finished cap. Any radiography, spot or full. I just got my CWI and I'm thinkig of going on the road working pipelines. Your welders did agreat job on the root pass, fun to watch. Thanks.

Congratulations to all...fine workmanship...! Dan from Babcock & Wilcox..

[@axoholic1]

I really do enjoy watching you guys doing welding work, it inspires me to try hard with my education to have the welding class :)

[@wailnshred]

I enjoy watching the pipe in the clamps being fitted. How the man signals the operators and they have to make small adjustments to get it right.

[@noneyourbusines6738]

That hand sign is those with long term relationship with the job.. not for begginers..

Great camera work. Love them running the stringers & the hot pass. If you can't put it on the pipe you can't stay! Xray welders= where the pros are.

[@kerryodjugo5464]

I bet after this project, the welder's mate will become a better welder if they put full concentration because these guys are just out of the globe in what they are doing

[@vulcaocapeta721]

I appreciate to much this work ! And I'm thinking if I will do this course, it's awesome. But to make a job like this one, we need a long time.

Very nice downhill penetration welding. 33 years ago I was a pipe welder. 6GR (my country called it). Watch and envy these professions. Especially, overhead welding, it needed years of practices.

When I go back to school on another month for welding I'm going to practice like I did last semester but only I'm going to practice on pipes alot more this semester. This looks alot of fun. And hopefully one day be here.

[@bestarsteelco.ltd.7153]

Wow, I enjoy watching your video.

[@rdaugherty52]

My dad run a dozer for Tennessee gas and for Rivers pipeline when I was eight years old. He wanted me to be a pipeline welder i started welding got my own truck and shop but started welding structural steel instead stayed busy for 30 years. Now when I watch these welders Makes me want to go back but I cringe watching the down hill root pass. I would go up with 7018. Thanks for showing this.

[@jordanevans7544]

It’s the type of rods they’re using that allows them to weld a downhill root pass. You must not know too much about welding......

[@Wanglicker42235]

Jordan Evans you’d be surprised how many people don’t know about downhill welding it’s kinda shocking lol

[@hasslefree1848]

For pipe welding the down hill root pass method is better.....There is far less undercut on the root pass while it is easier for the welder to view the Key Hole and the positioning of the hand and arm and elbow *dropping down* feels more natural and comfortable rather than pulling up from bottom to top.........with the Heat up High , You more or less bury the rod in the gap and run a tight key hole and skate along........... If the Key hole begins to grow too large because the gap is too wide then lower the heat 5 amps to 10 amps or more to gain control of the key hole.....If the Key hole becomes to tight because the gap is too tight then up the amps by 5 or 10 amps or more to maintain that tight key hole.....when everything is just right you can hear the consistent hissing and sizzle sound. If the gap closes up way too tight then use the mini grinder with a 1 / 8 thick blade to feather out the the thickness of the land. Leave your heat setting the same but when you fire up again anticipate you may have thinned out the land a little too much and not enough meat to handle the amp setting so be ready to immediately down 5 or 10 amps .....or you may not have feathered out the land quite enough and need to up 5 amps or 10 amps or more.....On the stops and starts fire up about a 1 / 2 inch before the key hole and pull a long arc and come down on the bead a little slowly to make sure the arc is fully stabilized and then begin to press lightly into the bead and start moving the arc towards the key hole while anticipating you will break through just slightly before the key hole.....and when you see you effectively break through and begin to gently bury the rod in between the gap and then pause for a count of 1 to 2 seconds to make sure you back fill the start and stop and do not leave a lack of penetration at the stop / start *Blending* point and then begin to move and carry on with the rod buried between the gap Been there done that 1975 to 1985

[@Lookinformemarbles]

hey man great vid! is it possible the get a vid from behind the helmet so i can see how you are manipulating your root, fill and cap. im just finishing my 3rd year and ill be going for my b ticket soon after. its nice to see how different welders weld there pipe. thanks again mike

[@IsaacOLEG]

I like to see that, I am new to welding , a few month and only for my personal use, but I do see that they use 6010 (or similar) as I see the whip and bead technique. Amazed by the steady hand, not moving while closing the hood. My hood cannot do that because it is air assisted, so I had tl learn to lay the rod on the coating so no arc, then to close the mask with the other hand. That way I still can use both hands for the beginning of the rod .

[@Macha_lee]

Ohh really that really cool tho

[@dougspair]

OK, 5/8" wall, what kind of pressure would run through that? I'm guessing 'spiral' welded pipe somewhat lower than straight welded pipe? nice video, I've seen your stuff before, 23 minutes not really that long, gives a real good idea of how much is actually involved in pipe-line work.

[@SlickManChoux]

Good team=good job

[@jcosta3279]

At minute 10:13 the gap seemed wider. Did you lower the heat with the 1/8” rod or did you use a different size of rod? Do you mind sharing what you did if you remember

[@AntiHero158]

I'm just curious about the communication that ya'll are doing. When you say "Up" or "Down" is that the Welder requesting that the amperage be turned up or down on the machine?

[@bendover8572]

+AntiHero158 yes

[@davetaf1323]

their singing morgan wallen / Florida georgia line biggest hit .....

[@billmcyrus]

Up or down with no explanation means 5/100ths adjustment, typically.

[@lowtech5530]

Some welders just say up or down usually meaning increments of 5. I did this shit for 37 years and would still be doing but due to screwing my back up I had to retire.

[@brucemccheyne4699]

Great work, when your telling your helper "UP or DOWN " how many degrees are asking for 4-5 or more? Also total time on that 42" tie-in?

[@robertmclnally8247]

Bruce McCheyne up or down.usually. five...

[@tejaswelding5230]

@@JH-of1xz yes. Up 5 amps or down 5 amps. They would be ruing let’s say 150, if it’s getting to hot while coming down or it’s not hot enough so they play with the temperature on the remote.

Congrats for your perfect made video.I need your help asap cause i would soon work in a similar project and it happens for me not being American to understand your slang.Why you are instructing them to up and down .How close is permitted to do the welding (half a meter/2 ft or so).Why you are doing a counterwise welding because when ive shown you coming so close towards each other i thought it wasnt that safe of an act.Why grinding and welding taking place at the same time, are you not afraid of possible explosion or an accident?Unfortunately im an phd engineer and never had the possibility to try something like this for real.
