Great info as always. Keep up the good work Bob.
I learned all this the hard way.I did go to welding school but teachers weren't much on welding pipe.These kids now days are very lucky to have you and this channel.
Thanks for the support.
I almost went to the trade school by my house but when I went on the tour I saw alot of red flags. Former students were now teachers, barely any pipe welding and only on sch 40, picture on the walls of former welding students with the jobs they went on to get with very few actually getting welding jobs, and so on. Plus I'm already working as a welder/fabricator, I just wanted to learn how to pipe weld and their program was very skimpy. They didnt even certify their students on pipe which made it seem like they werent confident in their students ability to pass
@@Ctrl.Alt.DeFeaT you talking about tulsa?
I’m in school now and I learn more from watching videos
@@Ctrl.Alt.DeFeaT sounds like AWI
This guy reminds me of the older guys back when I started. Back then pipe welding was kind of a secret society, no one wanted to tell you anything, especially about tig. But, if you worked hard and did your job, some of the older guys would teach you because they saw the willingness to put in the work.
If you had a little slack time they’d hand you some 60 rods and tell you to “ go stack me some dimes”. Practice was the only way to learn , and if you didn’t want to practice when they told you to, they were done with you. That was a looong time ago.
Thank you and all the others for your videos. I'm learning alot from these and with the esab 161 I just bought, and the scrap pipe from work that I'm bevelling into coupons I'll begin practicing for 6g certs in no time. I'd like to save up a large stock of plate coupons and pipe coupons and once I start I'll start learning through repetition which imo is the best way to learn. You guys are helping alot
Great video you guys are helping so many . I learned by trial and error. Great channel thank you for helping our trade and community of welders grow.
@Larry Copenhaver hey brother that's how I started. I used to make so many mistakes that I became a pro at not making the same mistakes again . It's all about practice and keeping an eye on the puddle. Stay positive .
Good 15 minutes of information , thank you again!
You're very welcome Rick 🍻
Happy memorial day...like the new music...in welding school I was told I couldn't use a piece of channel to align pipe because I wouldn't have in field...i countered the instructor with I guess I wouldn't have hood,gloves,rod,OR EVEN A WELDER....he had a dumb look and said why not? i said because I didn't bring them to job either....had no response...he was 58..i was 48 at the time...good stuff guys.....thanks for posting
Laura Question I guess you’ll be rolling everything out in a jack stand while in the field to huh?
Outstanding video men. great work. thanks a lot. SC Navy vet.
Bob is always a favorite of mine to watch and learn from
Boy, you guys are nailing the tutorials these days! Another job well done!!
Good stuff, these videos are brilliant for learning the dark art of welding pipe!
Gang gang boi
Lovin these weekly videos! Beautiful arc shots!
This is a fantastic video. Thank you for going so slowly and explaining everything.
Just started welding pipe in the course I’m taking and this is very helpful. Thank you!
Born welder and a born teacher, thanks from the UK.
Excellent information and video Bob's a fantastic teacher I'd enjoy taking a class with him
Perfect video for newbie like me struggling 7018 root pass. Thanks a lot.
Great tips for beginners and even veteran welders thanks for making this video 👍👍👍
I love your videos. My technique with my everlast welder is so much better since watching this channel.
Great video! Always learn so much from you guys. By far some of the best content on here.
We appreciate your support Bryan
This is great, thank you. I've been having tons of problems at my school like blowing holes through the bevel, or the weld will stay to one side of the pipe and not extend to the other side. I'll try some of these techniques out tomorrow!
Very good information Bob.
Good job guys, if man cub keeps on he may just be the new Bob someday, he will have big shoes to fill but he has a great teacher!
Great stuff as always, I got excited when there was a notification on my phone about a new video 👨🏭
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 👌
@@Welddotcom booyah!
Great video, as always!
Excellent tips guys!
One of my favorite channels.
Thanks for the support Eduardo 🙏
BOB,I REALLY LIKE YOUR VIDEOS ESPECIALLY ON PIPE WELDING THE ROOT PASS UP HILL.YOUR THE ONLY PERSON I'VE SEEN RUN A ROOT PASS UP HILL WITH STICK(5P,5P+)AND DRAG THE ROD,WHICH MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME.I WAS TOUGHT TO WORK IT(STICH IT)WHICH TO ME IS A NIGHTMARE,THAT KEY HOLE ENDS UP GETTING SOMEWHAT BIGGER.THE WAY I LOOK AT IT,WHY FIGHT IT WHEN A PERSON CAN RELAX AND ENJOY LIFE!KEEP MAKING YOUR VIDEOS ON WELDING,ANYKIND!😀
Well done 👍 To the point(s) and explained perfectly.....leaves no questions 🍻
I really appreciate this video I messed my root up today and had too much penetration so this really helps
Thanks for the great tips. Put them to practice on drill pipe fencing. What a Hallelujah moment to see neat good welding from a relative amateur. 4 more miles of 8 ft fence just became a pleasure. Keep up the good work. Do a show on welding drill pipe. Show vertical & 45Deg kicker tips.
Valuable information!!
Thanks guys for the info
spot on! thanks guys!
Thanks for the Great video guys you the man bob you too cub 🍻🇺🇸
Great Video enjoyed it very much
Great work guys...some great info there fellas. This welder in training says "thank you sirs".
Very good explanation Bob, Man-Cub did ok too I suppose.
Very useful and interesting video. Many thanks.
You're very welcome
Thank you guys
Great vid
Great video
Good job sharing
You are always telling us that you at the end of your videos. But let me take this time to say......thank you Bob,it really helps having you on here man 🙏
This was spot on 👍🏻
Thanks guys, great overview. Never hurts to refresh the skills.
Very good stuff
I love the videos guys
Love how Camera Guy purposely used that shot of Mancub on his phone not paying attention in the thumbnail lol 😆🤣🤣 love all these guys
My favorite RUclipsr cheers guys
Thanks for the support Jay 🙏
Good explanation
Nice explanation
Keeping the key hole uniform and the leading edge of the keyhole uniform in color especially where parent metal and weld metal blend together (tie in). I usually run through my short tacks because I have been caught with cracked tacks (cut out ) . Sound also plays a large part in doing good beads especially when running tight spots
@Bob\Mancub --Nice video and lots of info. I heard you talk about amps being to high or to low but you were showing the extreme changes in amps. How can you tell when you just need to adjust 5 amps up or down?
Thank you for your videos, can you do a video on large diameter pipe and how to run the root, hot pass fill and cap on the bottom only, from 8:00 to 4:00, thank you.
Gracias brother bob
Beautiful Sharp edge
Good Video
Diameter of electrode in mm x 35 = amp it's true 6010 80 amp position 5G uphill vertical up 35x 2.3= 80, 3/32 inches = 2.3
Good job Bob
How should I be setting my amps to adjust for the landing low amp or for the actual thickness of the pipe
wish i would have had this video 20 yrs ago I learned pipe welding by practice and it take lots of it to pass the weld test for Avista. I probably welded over two hundred pieces of schedule 40 6" casing together before I could do it well enough to even attempt the test.
I see guys doing bridge tacks vs regular tacks. When and why would you bridge tack vs regular tacking and what do you prefer?
When you make a longer tack it takes less welding all the way around
love the old guy info. we need to share with the guys
Hey Bob can u do a video where you show us how to fill up a pipe with 6010 5+ down hill.
Welders used to say nickel landing nickel gap.That was uphill pipe welding of the 70's.Lincoln Red rod[6010] and 7018.Beginning with the Trans Alaska Pipeline circa 1975 and the invention of high penetration rods like the german cell 80 and its 80XX[8010,8018] series American welding rods.Downhill welding of pipe to ASME or API is now easier and faster.More production,less weld failures,making the life of a pipe welder less stressful. Most downhill welders use stainless strips of sheet metal for gapping tools and a pipe welders wedge .The strips About the thickness of a dime for 6 and 8 inch, less for 4 inch and about the thickness of banding material for three inch or smaller.The root bead is laid in very hot after the pipe is preheated[300] to prevent sticking of the rod and proper stress factors.Usually by a propane weed burner.The rod is literally drug and pushed downhill riding on the flux coat always pointing toward the center of the pipe.Most welders will use 1/8 rod for the bead at minimum 110 amps-120.A good welder will have another rod within quick reach and get back into the puddle while it is still hot.I 've done uphill and downhill and much prefer the fast moving technique of downhill.Downhill eliminates suck in on the bottom due to gravity which is hard to repair and can ruin your weld.
Remember that the mill scale has a much higher melting point as it has more carbon than the base metal. So make your life easyier and invest your time on complete cleaning techniques to help pass X ray. A preheat can be useful as water expands 1860 times when it turns to steam. Thanks Bob for all your efforts to share the knowledge.
That cone shaped grinding thing where did you get that from?
@4:05 ish The young buck has to say something about the ole timers method... "That's definitely good for beginner's" Haha but, but.... that's the ole timers method?!? I would have to say from years of experience I prefer to NOT LEAVE MY SPACER IN. I really love your guys channel and appreciate the hard work you do to inspire people to become the best welders they can become! Peace and Love from your Local Boilermaker's Lodge 146 here in cold Alberta, Canada
Great welding tips, guys. From a seasoned pipe welder here.
So.... what if I'm shaky trying to do a cap, on a Monday morning? Can you cover that?
Thank you gentleman
I always clock my my pipe seams at 12 O'clock for test coupons and in the field usually 10 and 2 or what ever procedure calls for.
Lots of variables 🤔👍
Nice video as always, i got a question. How can i avoid arcblow on pipe running DCEP using a standart groundclamp? because here in germany we mostly run 7016 all the way and on plate i can get around arcblow but on pipe i cant find a good place for the ground. really appreciate your content, thanks :)
I've not noticed it too much on pipe.
Could you do a video on the top 10 welding machine brands in your opinion?
i dont even think there 10 different brands of welders out there that are even worth it... miller, Lincoln and fronius... take your pick!
they all do about the same
Cubby always though and meticulous good job
Is there any other time you would want to use 6010/1 other than the route on pipe welding. I'm a beginner and feel like 7018 seems suited to everything bar sheet metal?
Whats the name of that roto? cone grinding attachment you used to grind the inside of the pipe?
Great video the only other point you guys did not mention was preventing the key hole at the end of a tack or end of a rod...... one of the biggest problems welders have passing bend test and Visual is to much penetration or lack of fusion at the start and stopping points. If you pull out with out falling back to the center of the tack you leave a key hole that you gotta deal with everytime you start back or come up to during welding . To close the keyhole ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!! Fall back to the center of the tack or at the end of the rod and there will be no key hole to fix you will not have to jack the rod to close the hole ... if you do this you’ll get a “WEDDING BAND” and you will not be able to tell where you stopped and the tacks will look the same as the bead !!!!!!!!! Side bend or root face bends always bust because of bad tie ends if there is no big key hole to close you’ll have better chances at getting pass the eyes of a butthole QC looking for something to bust a guy out for!!!!!!!!! Great video guys you and Abraham and the guy from Canada have the best instructional videos on the web. I’d personally like to see you guys do some videos on how to fix defects like to much penetration or leaving side wall incomplete fusion that would be a big help to a lot of young welders out there !!!!!!!!!
„Love button“ killed it.
I learned from the best pipeliners in the world. Old school morals and methods. Proven to be the fastest. No school. I would pull 12 hrs on a laybarge and after my shift I would weld out a 24 inch 500 wall coupon.
Bob wasn't too happy about that man cub sticker😄😄😄😄
Can you make a video like this but for TIG welding? Great videos
We did. It's called TIG 101
If I were ever to go to school to learn to weld, I want Bob as my instructor.
Agreed
good 👍
It took me two months to finally figure out how to fit pipe. High low and gap size sucks when it’s not perfect.
Can you please make a video on innershield NR233 vertical and overhead please
Can I get a link for the rolling cone disc for that grinder
Just a question, but why do u only use 6010 when you're welding down hill pipe? Why not ever use 7010 or 8010 after the bead??
Where can you get that cone shaped grinding stone from?
Having some knowledge of pipe welding 6G Cert, UK apprentice champion 1980 in MAW, root face is the key, spend the time. You should know your amp settings vs your wrist speed and wrist orintation angle for root bead+ if your ark light is really visible during root run, fail, you have to burn it within the pipe. I would tack at 1/2" feather out to leave 1/4", never start on a tack and always pass the 12-6 o'clock positions, also use a strike plate so your rod is hot also this takes away any flux damage which can occur at rod ends
Welding life is great
I'm in the Union Local 529 out of waco and I'm practicing 6g 6010 all the way out to bead cap. I want to learn how to tie my roots in when I run out of rod I get a little bit of splatter inside my root. My guess is I'm sitting there to long and not moving. I start an inch a head to heat it up then I try to tie i to my root. Any suggestion 9n what I can do to make a better tie I.
Know I know what not to do ! Thanks 🙏
I love welding
sickkk musicccccc!
nice!! 💪 👷🏻
Bob, were you using 3/32" or 1/8" rods?
1/8"
I'd really like to see an example of production welding aluminum
Good video -- thanks. Can you tell me the reason for leaving the space between the two pipes (as opposed to having them touching) before starting the weld? (As you might guess, I am totally new to welding.)
Hello C Taylor, the gap is for full penetration. Pipes are alien things man. I'm slowly each day welding bead around my vice stand which is 6 " pipe, if I'm not learning any worthwhile technique I am certainly mastering going round in circles getting dizzy.
Thanks bible basher, that makes sense. Cheers!
So here is the thing. I work as a marine engineer. Onboard the ship we don't have 6010 or 6011 electrodes. So when I am trying to fill the root with 6013 or 7018, at vertical position, it is always destroying the gap. If I reduce amperage, then the bead is worse. How can I work on this?
