Pipe Welding 7016 Root Technique 

Best welding channel by miles. I've been doing this 37 years+ in the UK, a lot of our specs are different but most jobs use ASME codes currently welding structural tube 530mm od and 720mm of (21" 28") 7018hr4s laborious 10 pass 18mm fillets I know I could do it in 6 passes but we're not allowed? Somebody half my age who's never never held a pair of tongs in his life telling me how to do my job, such is life. I've a few tips for the youths starting out. 1. Get work pants with knee pads 2.keep your head/screen out of the smoke and learn to weld at at arms length 3.never jump of the job always climb down 4. Buy a couple rubber floor mats and make sure your always stood on them your entire working life... I know this because I did non of the above and I'm blind as a bat i have knackered ankles knees and hips oh and don't forget the bad feet.

I will never be a pipe welder. But I find this video valuable for the detail on the puddle dynamics. This information on technique is generalizable.

Thanks Andrew and Jody! Another great video! And even posted during fab tech!!!! That’s dedication to the channel and everyone watching, Jody!!!thank you!!! Be blessed guys!!!

This dude got some skills. Love how in depth you two get and I love that you take great pride in your welds

Cheers for the detailed video guys. Doing my first stick root/ fill and cap weld test in 2 days in 18 years. Really helpful refresher.

Another first class demo, thanks once again from the UK.....

Nice thorough video and explanation. Tons of pro tips. Thank you Andrew and Jody. I can't give you enough thumb ups!

Thanks for another great educational video mate , makes me want to get back at stick-welding,

Welding tips and tricks, Really neat stuff, thank you for posting/sharing, appreciate it.

Love your videos, always wanted to be a welder, setting these videos wishes I would have followed that dream. Thanks.

Really good video especially paying attention to your angle thank you again

Great video! I will never be as skilled as you guys. Welding has always been a fun hobby for me! I always felt good when I had a stack of dimes laying on its side... lol Keep up the great work on the videos!

It's been awhile since I stick welded and after watching this video I really want to pick up a torch with some sticks and weld up some stuff

Sir , I want to know in 6G position best current for root in 7016 electrode. I m always mesh in overhead. i m new in pipe line

👍👍👍Greetings from Austria..🇪🇺🇦🇹

Hard work, but nice job Congratulations boys

Thank you.

An ideal set up would be to have the gap wider on the top, so that when you get there its not after closing and you wont have to knife it with a slicing disc. I would use a slightly wider gap on larger dia pipe. the rod needs to breath especially at the bottom too tight and you end up turning your amperage up which will result in a concave bead. Its not as forging as lets say a 7010 electrode. I use the remote in one hand (small) with a magnet and slide it up the pipe as I travel. With this method you have instant power and when you are going into or out of a pickup it really helps. The ideal way to travel is just have a keyhole no more, too big it falls in too little nothing in the inside.

Also are they the double coated e7016 ahere in the uk I think there are 2 kinds there are some called specials the have a black glass like slag

Great content from you both 👍

Best content as always

Hillside… mudboard. You wont fight the bottom.

somebody taught me 2.4 mm gap 3.2 elektrode 450 mm long and shuff in to the root , just straight up no weaving no circles and no shorter electrode than 450mm

Really good video especially paying attention to your angle thank you again thats so cooooooooool i like it

i have a question ....why do pipe welders wear those round type of helmets?

wow. I wonder what kind of camera and equipment(including lense) you use. Could you answer me about it?

you guy pretty much know the entire technique so 7018 would likely work as well with same procedure??

This should be on done negative with a 4mm gap 3.25mm rod 2mm root face and a horseshoe motion.

Our company bought a sea can that got auctioned off for 5000 bucks, got 4 welders, a miller XMT 350, Lincoln flextec, and some Chinese welders that were the same as the XMT, as well as a track bug, and bunch of other goodies. We got 4 tins of Lincoln 7016 rod and I have never seen this rod being run. What classification is this rod? F4? I can do open root on plate with F3 electrodes but have never seen this rod.

Gracias por vrindar este tutorial el señor los bendiga.

I'm not a welder or in the trades, but I still enjoy watching these. One question, if one were to be welding two long pipes together, how would they knock the slag off from the inside? 4:50 for example, wouldn't be able to do that if the pipes were longer? Would designs require that pipes be bolted together every so often so you could reach it? Would you just leave it? Is it an unlikely scenario that the sections of pipe would be so long you couldn't reach it?

Guess whos back back again

Hello boss, what is the polarity of the 7016. Positive or negative..? Pls can you answer me

Other videos 7016 root open

Good

😉Привет Джудди..сварка "корня шва"на трубе очень важно и ответсвенная цель.Удачи!

Many thanks :-)

You need more gap For 1716 root

لا تلحم في الجدار بل داخل الفتحة وسترى النتيجة افضل

Thanks for the video Jody, have you tried the Rebel 235? The 285 is not available here….

GOOD... wilding👏👏👏

I need to get some of that rod and try it out

Is that a 30 degree bevel angle?

Hello. I from Russia.

Hi Jodi was the done dcen .

Hvor mye strøm bruker du for bunn strengen g6? 2,5 mm elektrode 7018?

very good!

Hello host fully sent support thank u

thanks máster 👍

可以用平焊嗎

nice

Pass this before 👍

I guess there are many cases (if not most) when you can't access the inside of the pipe anymore after welding. How to you clean the inside then? It looks like there are a lot of pieces that could flake off.

为啥我的中间加炸？告诉我，无尽的谢谢你！

Okay

Awesome Guys been waiting for this video, Couple of Questions about 7016 on thin wall pipe (shc 40 4") I am trying to pass my LoHy pipe test but having trouble on the 2G and 5G root passes. Rod :2.6mm Kobe 7016 Gap: 2.4mm Amps: 70-62 DCEP Trapping slag on the top bevel on the root pass sort of inconsistent were the puddle wants to stay on one bevel sometimes and looks like it is even while welding though, any thoughts ? Also the 5G root seem ok when i start at 6 O-clock to 3, but as soon as i get near 2-3 O-clock mark it starts to chew away the bevel and the puddle becomes out of control almost like its way to much amps (68) having to go down to around 62 amps. I have tried to hang back in the puddle a little but the pipe overheats really quick if i do, any suggestion to over come this ? This would be a big help Thanks Andrew and Jody :)

Get a handy remote control.

Cool!

Mr are you to make game welding champion on Jakarta Indonesia my country

Is that X Ray quality?

the Soviet welding school and the Russian one now

Seems alot more difficult than cellulose rods almost like 7018

Lumayan lahhhh,

I am sorry to say but sir technic was good but root penetration was not equel not very good qulity of weld

Nós dó canal ferreira motos estamos acompanhando tudo,👍👍👍👍👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷forte abraço de nos do canal ferreira motos,

Why isn't wire feed used in pipe welding ?

👍👍

👍

Helle sir. I am India contry You are contry welder sellry tell me

Why 6 to 12 o’ clock.?

👍👍👍

Andrew: Lets do it Jodie: NO

That will separate the men from the boys. Apparently I'm just a boy.

🛠🛠🛠👍👍👍
