There are so many things to like here. As someone who does not as a rule not fabricate pipe except as to use a structural member. Or some drain line in a screen plant etc... As a 45 year veteran of the construction, forestry and aggregate world this is fascinating. I see all kinds of stuff advertised over the years to hold pipe in various positions etc....all expensive looking Apparently the same simple stuff I use for my work will do just fine. Counterweight....Again brilliant, simple and effective. Cheers man Edit: your order of operations was interesting, instructive and complete logical.
Admiro mucho tu arduo trabajo, tu entereza y experiencia paciva mijo Dios te bendiga y prospere todo lo que haces me fascina verte trabajar un fuerte abrazo!!
@paperfrog9995 ok.. that right there is a little spot that is end of a beat.. where you stop on every tack you always leave a key hole and when ever you get to that little spot you have catch up.. kind of go back a little.. hey! Good point brother!😉 I've didn't even thought about that
@davidkenworthy7548 Hello!!! You may already know this, but it is also in relation to your question, so here goes. Three types of electrode categories for AWS A5.1/5.5 - 1) fast fill, 2) fill freeze, and 3) fast freeze. Fast fill example-7024, fill freeze example- 7018, fast freeze example- 6010 although in each category there are numerous other examples per the AWS electrode specifications. These three labels/categories are just an indicator of the way the fluid puddle and slag acts while you are reading reading the puddle! 7024 is very fluid with high deposition rates, and fills up the weld joint quickly in the flat and horizontal fillet welding positions, hence the name "fast fill". These 3 terms/labels/titles were first brought about by the James F. Lincoln arc welding foundation/Lincoln Electric Co. (because through their R&D they invented the rods) which is where most welding students learn them from in textbooks! With that being said- the incredible "burning wood" scented cellulose sodium 6010 variety of electrode is categorized as a fast freeze rod due to the puddle freezing rapidly when the electrode is oscillated or whipped forward and back as this electrode is meant to be run. This would be dissimilar to the other two electrodes which are drag rods and higher deposition meaning a much more fluid heavier puddle. The 6010 variety is heavier penetrating and has a much stiffer arc with a light fast freezing slag cover unlike the other electrodes which have heavier slag to shield a larger molten metal deposit and help hold it in suspension while welding out of position. The 6010 electrode is able to weld through dirt, rust, paint, etc. because it has a digging heavy penetrating arc. While forming a puddle with it you establish a bead width and begin to oscillate the electrode which therefore manipulates the width and size of the bead. When doing this you notice how much molten metal is being deposited which is essentially the goal (filling up the weld joint as fast as possible), and although the 6010 electrode is not a "fast fill" high deposition electrode-with good manipulation and reading the puddle you can fill a joint up faster by using these whipping/ "up and back" motions combined with the oscillating to carry around more metal and stack it heavier! This all has its limitations of course due to the nature of the electrode. Hope this helps.
