From a retired old welder, thanks for posting this. Wish I had this when teaching.

Cool ! I have wondered how tank welders manipulate the alignment & spacing of the plate seams. Now I understand. The "blank nuts are welded on 1st, giving something for the pin & wedge jig to place force against! Thanks for sharing that.👍

Very cool, true, flush, and gap, I can use elements of this technique in the mining equipment I work on, kind of like dogging in three directions at once

Hello, do you have dwg projects of the equipment?

[@welderausphil]

Yes
Thanks your comment much appreciated

abrasive round gauge blocks and ferrous cones. Its life jim but not as we know it. Sir if I may ask, what chirality and how many strands are your genetic chains? Triple helix left handed?

[@welderausphil]

Chirality is a concept that arises in the field of chemistry ,specifically in the study of molecules and thier three- dimensional structures.In other words , A Chiral object or molecule can not be perfectly aligned with its mirror image , no matter how the two are oriented.
Genetic chains , specifically refering to DNA ,typically consist of two complementary strands that are arranged in a double helix structure. Each strand is composed of a sequence of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA

Is this a traveling job?

Yes

Just cut a notch out of a piece of scrap plate that a wedge can fit inside so when it’s welded on one side it overhangs the butt weld area so both side can be brought level , tack them and then knock the plate off and move up to the next area! You now have your PLATE DOGS !!!!

[@robertboyle2621]

You can move your plates any direction using a key plate. Up down tighten your gap up loosen it up raise and lower each side and keeps your tank round a dog won’t do that. You keep pins in while your welding to keep it from sucking in/out

[@Then.72]

@@robertboyle2621 I don’t think you understand if you think you can’t use them in any direction

[@chauncey5962]

@@Then.72u really don’t get it do ya?

[@Then.72]

@@chauncey5962 explain why because I think you don’t understand how to level two pieces of steel plate nor do you know what Plate Dogs and a wedge are in Fabrication !

[@Then.72]

[@waqasmuneer7951]

What was the thickness of metal to be welded

[@welderausphil]

6mm
thanks your comment much Appreciated

[@waqasmuneer7951]

@@welderausphil can I use this method for 20 mm thickness tank?

[@welderausphil]

@@waqasmuneer7951
No , not almost the same but a bit different.
20 mm
More strong back inside tank specially in bottom section ,before erection of shell plate and
Make sure the acurancy ,different welding process submerge arc welding and AGW welding for vertical ,stick welding ,flux cored gasless welding on the bottom ,content of tank like liquid fertilizer tank that i have experinced 20mm thickness shell plate .
The video u have watched was leach tank that’s why is thin.
2nd shell plate ,no more welding tack on the gap .full welded the u plate instead tacking in the gap after that fit up .the AGW machine welding the vertical position .a bit different .

solda muito ruim mnoBrasil não passa acoplamento otimo

[@welderausphil]

Obrigado seu comentário muito apreciado

[@UniteForgetLeftRight]

Why are keyplates better than dogs and wedges?

[@welderausphil]

Mostly keyplates are using to build a tank , you can get accurate circumference of the tank .
