I showed up to a test site with my cousin a couple years ago to test for a job, it was claimed to be the usual bell & branch setup. Boy was we surprised when these "7016" rods was tossed our way. 🤣 Needless to say our leads were rolled up pretty quick, haven't failed a test so bad ever.
@jaythemachine3845 Good question, some gas companies want the roots run with them, instead of with a 6010. This particular gas company is the only one we have had to test us with them. I know some people would think it is similar to a 7018, and they don't burn similarly at all.
Keep up all the good work Luis. I enjoy watching the videos you post. It's a beautiful thing what your doing with work, your living situation, your girl, life in general!
When I did this, I used the back side of the rod as a spacer. I whip out and come back in, as long as your puddle is still res, you won’t trap slag. I also used heavy land
Try driving a wedge like in each quarter or about about 4 or five inches above where your welding to keep from slamming shut on you! Those little wedges or cut a normal one in half to make two skinnier ones. We tested on 250 wall though that 375 wall tends to be a little more forgiving!! Play with the thickness of your landing as well!!
5/32 gap with 1/16" land 2nd gear and about 20 on your remote. Stay in it and do not key hole it, stay in the puddle or suck back will get you everytime. Good luck love your stuff
Creo en mi humilde opinión debiste haberle dado un gap de 5/32 porque cuando vayas más arriba se te va a ir cerrando la pipe y también te ayuda a darle movimiento para que vayas quemando los bebos de la pipe. Y claro es muy difeferente soldar pipeline a lo que estabas practicando ahí es más estructural, eres muy bien welder te sigo desde veracruz mexico y espero pronto regresar a trabajar a USA yo también soy welder y mi trabajo era offshore en él área de Luisiana. Saludos y bendiciones amigo
You want atleast a heavy 1/8” gap with a 1/16” land. Slight side to side movement and stay in the puddle. It will almost lay itself in like a downhill root. And def hit your stops for the root atleast
I've welded pipe for about 36yrs. From Down Hill, to Up Hill(oil refinery, Chemical Plants, and High Pressure Steam Lines) those usually are Up Hiil welding procedures, we usually used the Tig method for our Roots and Hot Pass, then switch over to Stick. I've only ran a few Roots with a 7018, and it's a bitch if you never done that. I would use a little under a 1/8" Gap and a decent landing to minimize burn through, and a 1/8 Rod at around 115-120amps. Now when we welded on main steam lies in a power house it's a Tig root, and two more Tig passes then we switch over to 8018 witch have more Chrome in the Rod because the Pipe is 80%-90% Chrome. The wall thickness is around 2 1/2"- 3" Thick. We would run 5/32 8018 Rods once you got your root and two-three other passes done and xrayed. That's a whole other animal, the pipe has to be pre heated to 400° and kept between 400°-700° while welding it.
Loya, I'm from Brazil and I really like your work and I'm very inspired by your way of working and I'm also a welder and I'm starting now in this field and I want to be a great welder just like you, a hug and God bless yours life and light your way, we are together brother 🤝❤️💯
I had to test for Oryxs in Pawnee tx one time and it was that damn 7016 , we practiced all day just like this. We did terrible. Next day in the morning I told my cousin fk this lets just head to west Texas and go look for work over there, we’re gonna look like some fools fucking the test up we did terrible yesterday. He said bro we’re here already we ain’t got shit to loose but the gas on our SA200’s we took the test ,7016 with 7018 cap and boy idk what it was but we passed that shit. Our roots and caps where the best ones out there . Lol so sometimes just go for it fk it
Heavy 1/8 gap just enough land to hold the heat no more. Smear it on her almost like buttering bread but never leave puddle completely. Like a u shape but almost so slight you can barley notice. Heat and settings are key. GL
I run a lot of 7018 on structural Not much on fighting But when you get to the top side of your pipe you got to try to drag the puddle not push it Try that See if it works
I’m late to the party but I’m just seeing this video… I’ve never ran that 7016 yet I don’t even want to they can stick that back up their engineer A$$ haha but I mean if it came down to having a job or not having a job of course I’d give er a shot. I just don’t know why they gotta go and ruin a good thing as far as 6010/8010 and sometimes 7018 of course. I ran some of that 9045 for Henkels and McCoy under Enbridge last year and that s$&t was weird too. Downhill lo-hy. Luckily some good hands from Michigan gave me pointers how to run it and my Miller 400 pro ran it nice but to hell with that 7016 🥴
Luis cómo puedo integrarme al buen equipo de Buenos Soldadores Certificados en Soldadura en Líneas de Tuberías . Y saber donde están los mejores Pagos . Gracias
1/8 good gap I took a test like this had a hard time but another welder testing help me out he told cover the ends of the pipe will flow better so I did and the root was a lot easier
I have a question why do you use half of the rod instead of going down like 3 inches too the stinger that’s just a question I have is that I don’t understand
Luis me gustaría mucho Tener una intrevista contigo . Para que expreses tus experiencias en este fabuloso camino del oficio de Nosotros los Soldadores y grabarlo para todos los colegas Que inician en este noble. Y apasionante mundo de la Soldadura en Tubería y Tanques AWS .
Dude, if you keep your rod angle right and stop stopping so often you're gonna control the heat and your puddle better. But if you prep the pipe better to begin with ya'll gonna get a better result... like passing ...
I had done this test twice first one i passed the bend test but failed the Nick Break Test, Second test i passed both 2G and 5G 7016 on 90mm (4") NB pipe and 5mm (.200") wall. The thing that i noticed about it was the land and gap was a lot more critical then i had first thought the thinner the wall thickness. I just floated the rod over the front part of the puddle and made shore that the puddle was filling both bevels and the bead was not to convex to trap slag on the toes and filling up the root gap. Some guys were saying to think of it like using a calking gun. We were using 2.5mm Kobe lb52 Electrodes on 70 amps DCEP + 2G was 2 bead cap and 5G was a weave cap. Anyway good luck man RUclips
Usa una separación de 1/8....está muy serrado o súbele a tu máquina xke luego luego se oye ke no está entrando bien y pucha la varilla para que penetre saludos
content was great, video quality sucks ass. we used to do 7018 and 316l stick open roots all the time. big gaps, medium land and actually had better luck reversing the polarity. we were supposed to work with 7016 for a compressor station but job was scrapped.
do you ever get bored welding around circles man that would do my head in I run a mobile engineering business and do fab and weld I enjoy making stuff more than burning it together but each to there own
7016 is used in Europe for pipe apparently they are bringing that shit here. Jodi Collier did 2 videos with his buddy who is using it for pipe they might help you out. ruclips.net/video/UhtBExAk1vk/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/QTMKMFtyE4w/видео.html they might help.

I haven’t been a helper in years. What’s the 7016 rods for again I forgot?
He don’t know . If I’m guessing they’re rod size and he wasn’t used to them and if not cared fir they draw moisture really bad

Great to see you still working Sir
I'm from Tunisia, North Africa, I'm a welder, and I'm currently residing in Canada. You are really creative bro
I'm in northern Ont, what part of Canada are you in, Toronto? Shop welding?
Good stuff man. I think the craziest rod I’ve ever welded with is 8013-c or something along that.
I wasn’t sure about you at first! But I like you now!! We all get those days!
5/32 gap with 1/16" land 2nd gear and about 20 on your remote. Stay in it and do not key hole it, stay in the puddle or suck back will get you everytime. Good luck love your stuff

Screw that 5/32 gap crap and 1/16 landing, that's only good for making BIG keyholes.Id go with 1/8 gap and 1/8 landing.
using the machete as a spacer, gonna have to keep that in mind lol
7016-7018 all the way out… In service test, water bath makes a man outta you. 🤣 3-4 day test holy shxxxit!

Love the videos bro 👌gonna help me out alot.
I've heard 7016 rod has less iron in it than 7018 and between the two for runnin the bead 7016 would be best, won't trap as much slag as 7018.
Run electrode negative tight 1/8 gap and feather edge land, have to run 7016s here for all root runs. Keep her lit
I run a lot of 7018 on structural Not much on fighting But when you get to the top side of your pipe you got to try to drag the puddle not push it Try that See if it works

What kind of Miller is your brother running there? Is that a pipe pro? Or another kind?
Where you get those lights brother for the back?
I have a question why do you use half of the rod instead of going down like 3 inches too the stinger that’s just a question I have is that I don’t understand
Longest root ever put in loljk
I use a framing square gap, bc it shrinks so much

Switch your lids positive & negative. Using 7018. Right ??

On a 1/8 inch gap i run a 5/32 rod in 3 gear at 45 speed.
Welcome back my beautiful people
This is where a plant hand that use to run 7018 uphill has an advantage...different but same same

Er
Who in the hell is requiring a test with 7018 for the root pass?
It's 7016. Similar rod, few places make you test with 7018 root, just gotta run straight polarity for the root otherwise your faked lol
Enbridge. Ontario Canada. 1 onto 2 , 2 onto 4, branch tests.. thin wall 1" is another dimension. 7018 no reverse polarization.
