Just found your channel, great info! I have no interest in pipeline welding but as a mechanic who does field repairs I have always wanted to know more about the areas of welding. Thanks!
I always wondered about this and I work in some vessel shops making pressurized storage containers two pieces that had a bolted flange these are low pressure and they were for aircraft and we would pressurize those to about 10 psi and look for pinholes aside from that we would have a submerged tank testing unit it had a porthole in the side you could look through it and look at the tank and observe it from to watch the tank and see if there was any are escaping a joint the gasket or the main valve assemblies I'd always wondered the difference between Transit pipe and storage tanks and now I know good info
This stuff really is interesting. I will probably never weld pipe, but I can never learn enough about stuff in general. Never know when odd knowledge may be useful!
great knowledge, thx for the share!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!

They had 28" or 30" high pressure gas line rupture north oy Greeley. West of Eaton. Never heard what caused it. This was in the 2000's.
Yes, thank you!

Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Also lamination like plywood up untill the 1980's (as I remember) steel from Japan , from a poor old X-ray hand 😇
Yes, lamination was a problem as well( contaminants that got into the steel as it was being made) thank you James!
