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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I love Welding...never welded pipelines, but repaired heavy equipment & semi end dump & belly dump trailers. Rebuilt loader & excavator buckets & dozer blades for the past 41 years of my life. I love it...must be killer welding as a Pipeliner!!!
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.
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
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
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.

hehe, i work in production welding now, and at 41 it may be boring as hell, but i do not miss being out there in the elements, definitely a young mans job , i think ill stay in the climate controlled building. good video, stay safe out there lads.
I remember during my time in ABV rock l was in pipe line as a Tig Welder its so nice experience in my life. Even now in Europe i'n the welding QC in underground tunnel going to Switzerland big big project. Amazing project.
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 .
Incredible levels of skill. No wonder they earn so much, they deserve it. Whaddaya reckon? Half inch thick positional V-Butt root run with 2.5mm electrodes to start and larger rods to fill and pass after each clean and grind? I'm probably wrong - correct me yeah?
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?
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.
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
Robert Davis It's called welding vertical [up hand] and down hand for a slag trapping filler weld. Grinding is to eliminate any slag that might get captured in the weld. Hard to believe that a 2300 moulton metal puddle of steel won't touch a speck of captured slag. That's why they grind em'.
Better to be safe than sorry and grind so that the hot pass completely burns out any wagon track slag in the bead pass and no need to go ack and repair the weld
@@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.
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
man i really wish i new what all these steps are for. you should have a side commentary explaining it :) like the hue torch for example. why is that needed? just to preheat the metal before the welding process? also, why are you grinding your welds?
Preheating is used to slow the rate of cooling of the steel after welding and helps prevent cracks from forming as the weld cools. Grinding welds down to clean metal between passes ensures that your second and subsequent passes won’t be trapping any impurities in the weld and you won’t have any inclusions.
Good am welding heavy fabrication av just started working on some pipe but it has a 356mm boss on the end .15 beads fill .5 caps there's 100 percent ut there for a bridge I started welding wen left school I have to get re coded evrey six months av only been welding for 5 years so still learning . I have a welding engineer learning me and a old timer . Thanks for your time .
Im in pipe school learning tig always new how to weld stick 6010 root 7018 fill and cap usually can weld just about anything even 232 inershield structural
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.
ive been a welder for 35 years mostly steel and aluminum tank trailers. I just discovered welding videos beleive it or not. Some are good, some not so good. When you said underground welding did you mean undewater?
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.
I had a chance back in the day to be a wilder fitter on the Alaskan pipeline back in the day but I chose to stay with my girlfriend what a mistake that was I'll regret that choice the rest of my days.
I started offshore welding pipe offshore and have welded for five different major oil companies and I have come to the conclusion, and I know this is going to be up for grabs to either agree or disagree with, but I've come to the conclusion that the best way to put in a root pass for any pipe, other than heliarc , would be a downhill root pass with Mig .023 wire. after the preheat it would be fast it would be clean and if you stick the little nozzle from a 135 or 185 Hobart MIG welder up into that big gap it would be far enough away from the wind possibly to where you could use Mig , and it would be fast, it would be clean, but people are slow to change so don't look forward to it happening anytime soon but it would be a fast clean beautiful beautiful root pass without any need to knock off any flux.
So you can go down-hand with SMAW ? Edit: and I don't mean to be smart-ass cause I am fairly new to SMAW. Been a MIG monkey for 5 years lol and now finally getting into a Pipefitting apprenticeship. I just have to do my overhead open root. Can anyone give me some pointers on passing this test. Been testing with heat settings and my speed. I only do some massaging with the 6010 on the root pass but after that I am told to keep them stringers which I do. But back to the root pass. Everytime I do it I burn through the keyhole for I get no weld through onto the other side!
Could anyone give me tips on how to weld pipeline in the uk? I study everything i can find with welding, I’m doing my tig coding atm and have a job in steel building manufacturing doing lots of mig and oxy cutting. I don’t know how to enter the field as a on site pipeline welder/petrochemical piping welder
Habia visto este video una vez pero no lo encontraba yo tambien fui ayudante de soldadura industrial en taller grupo singma orgullosamente saludos desde chinandega nicaragua amen🇳🇮🇺🇸😍😘🥧🍰⚾️💪🌍
Because that is the way pipeline weld joints are welded together. There are millions of miles of steel pipe buried in the ground throughout the world transporting mainly Oil and Gas and other liquids that were welded by the down hand method. Either welded by hand and welding rod or automated welding techniques done so by the Down Hand Welding Method The welds pass all Pressure Vessel welding standards Cheers
I have used 8010 before, digs like a 6010, weld bead appearance is like a mixture of 7018 & 6010 with an attitude! Do like the 7010 for it semi smooth weld bead texture :P
I'm going to try that technique of pushing the rod thru. I was taught to whip it back and forth but a lot of people are doing it the way you are. Are u just pushing the rod thru ?
Can i ask a question,, What is the benefit of using downhill in welding big pipeline, or is it a must? I'm not a pipe welder,i just need to gain more knowledge on welding,
Less defects on the Root pass with no or minimum under cut .......The molten weld puddle wants to naturally fall down or flow down and in effect smoothly flows downwards with the arc creating a nice consistent and even flat surface bead rather than one having a center peak and causing under cut on the sides of the root pass bead that occurs when welding the root pass Up Hand
Yes when he says down, the helper who has the remote bumps down 5 or 10. This happens when the gap opens up and you can't control the heat you gotta lower it so you won't make a big hole. If the gap closes up on you then instead of down, you bump up . So yes it's temperature settings since fitup isn't the same sometimes it changes.

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

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

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......

I watched this video while having a smoke break in 40 minus weather after welding 100 feet underwater for over an hour in Antarctica.
Dude thats soo awesome they dont have no underwater welders on youtube
How many amps do u think it would take for root pass and cap that whole pipe my friends

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.

Few questions, why did they grind the initial pass down/off?
What type of rods were used, and what do the "up/down" calls mean?
Robert Davis It's called welding vertical [up hand] and down hand for a slag trapping filler weld. Grinding is to eliminate any slag that might get captured in the weld. Hard to believe that a 2300 moulton metal puddle of steel won't touch a speck of captured slag. That's why they grind em'.
There should not be slag traps in the weld ‘ the slag should just fall off if done correctly
Better to be safe than sorry and grind so that the hot pass completely burns out any wagon track slag in the bead pass and no need to go ack and repair the weld
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?
Bruce McCheyne up or down.usually. five...
@@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.
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

Why are you doing welding down?
Because that is the way pipeline weld joints are welded together.
There are millions of miles of steel pipe buried in the ground throughout the world transporting mainly Oil and Gas and other liquids that were welded by the down hand method.
Either welded by hand and welding rod or automated welding techniques done so by the Down Hand Welding Method

I have used 8010 before, digs like a 6010, weld bead appearance is like a mixture of 7018 & 6010 with an attitude! Do like the 7010 for it semi smooth weld bead texture :P
mas vcs não fizeram bizel de 45 grau nem raiz de solda?
I'm going to try that technique of pushing the rod thru. I was taught to whip it back and forth but a lot of people are doing it the way you are. Are u just pushing the rod thru ?
Dalton Barron he’s running a root pass
Wow, I enjoy watching your video.
Saludos desde el Perú me impresionó la grampa k utiliza el armador para la pega
Can i ask a question,,
What is the benefit of using downhill in welding big pipeline, or is it a must? I'm not a pipe welder,i just need to gain more knowledge on welding,
Speed is the benefit
Less defects on the Root pass with no or minimum under cut .......The molten weld puddle wants to naturally fall down or flow down and in effect smoothly flows downwards with the arc creating a nice consistent and even flat surface bead rather than one having a center peak and causing under cut on the sides of the root pass bead that occurs when welding the root pass Up Hand

@ 7:47, when the weldor's saying "down", you mirror him "down", "basement". Is he requesting a power adjustment on the control box?
Yes when he says down, the helper who has the remote bumps down 5 or 10. This happens when the gap opens up and you can't control the heat you gotta lower it so you won't make a big hole. If the gap closes up on you then instead of down, you bump up . So yes it's temperature settings since fitup isn't the same sometimes it changes.
lablue350 I had a feeling that's what it was, thanks for confirming :-)
Why starts top of pipe? My mentor told me always starts under the pipe then go up and up and up.. whats the different? Im just asking.. thanks, 👨🏭
Почему начинаеться верх трубы у них а потому что они варят целюлозно бумажным покрытием электрода а не рутиловым или еще каким. Именно такими электродами варят сверху вниз!!!
What are these electrodes and what diameter?
De ce se sudează de sus in jos, vreau explicați, ma interesează la tubulaturi masive, de ce nu vorbiți ce faceți si de ce, vreau exp. Mulțumesc. In. Limba Română.
That's a good video bud. Where was this job? I'm in the industry and ya'll are solid
What's the gap and land on this monster
Looks like a good time wish I could've joined
How come on that pass in the beginning there isn't any step ? Just wondering I'm wanting to go pipeline when I get older
