Pipeline 6 on 6 Branch Welding 

Shout out my boy Marco for that. He used to be my helper back when we pipelined. Now we work together he’s a plant operator here. So he knows exactly what to record. Thanks to him this video was a bit better than the others. It’s hard to make quality videos when it’s yourself doing all of it. I appreciate you noticing the difference brother. Salute

Good fit

Well in the throat first suck it up A lot tighter so that’s a good move if you don’t like the gap me the gap wouldn’t bother me I like a pretty white cap anyway used 5/32 6010

Good stuff man 💪

🦾thank you sir

Stay hard💀

Thanks homie. That’s what this channel is for bro. To help the community out.

Thanks for watching

I’m glad it helped brother.

🫡

That’s awesome brother. Thanks for dropping by.

Thanks for watching brother. I appreciate your support man.

Thanks brother. I appreciate you watching. 💪

Thanks

Yeah bro. On the throats it was a simple pause whip puse. And on the ears where I needed a bit more metal I was pausing more up top. And doing kind of like a slight side ways j motion if that makes any sense.

Gracia carnal. Aprecio su apoyo. Saludos

Thanks brother.

Gracia carnal. Saludo

✌️

Que bueno carnal. Me da mucho gusto. Saludos

Thanks man

Thank you

Thanks Hubert. 🦾

Thank you sir

Thanks homie. I miss the life style 🙌 salute homie. Stay up out there on the patch

Thank you fire watching brother.

Thanks

"Demand better pay etc." Great theory Ol' Mate. Good luck there. I started getting formal welding lessons from 1971 onwards, and around 1980 I started to get some $ recognition for my abilities,. The drilling and mining sectors are some of the few places that can afford to pay good welders something like the money that they should get payed. I could really have a nice ol' rant here, but I'm pretty mellow these days. My main point is, anyone who does a job well, should get paid well. Oh, and another point, I appreciate your making these "no bullshit " videos. The video quality is great, and you use everyday, easy to understand language.

Thanks for dropping by sir. I appreciate you watching.

Thank you sir

Quionda carnal. Muchas gracias 🫡

I appreciate you bro. Fabrication is king bro. Like my boy hector said. Welding will get you a check. Reading a tape will keep you employed. That’s a quote to live by. Fabricating>>>

You want to give me the tip? Bro you gonna have to try a date first. You’re moving too fast.

To be honest I’ve never seen a 8010 3/32 rod bro. But no, most tests are 6010-1/8” for root and 5/32” 8010 all the way out.

🫡

That’s exactly what the branch test qualifies you for. Damn O-lets. 😂😂😂

Another awesome video by the way boss.

@@botsbass842 thanks for watching budd

Thank you friend

Yeah. That pipe is pretty much junk trash. I rarely use carbon steel where I work at due to the corrosive environment.

🫡🫡🫡 extra entry brother.

@@VantageWeldingmuch appreciated sir🤙🏽🙏🏽

You have to follow weld procedure brother. I wish I knew the answer as to why you can’t. But I don’t. All I know is if you weld clean you will be 100% good

You’d probably won’t run into one of those unless you’re putting a bead in with 7016 bro.

Gracias hermano.

Not really to be honest budd.

Thanks brother. Perhaps soon brother. Thanks for watching.

I’ll probably start some 1 on 1 lessons on call soon brother.

@@VantageWelding let us know

Whatever works for you as long as you’re leaving clean deposita brother.

Thank you brother

Yes sir. Slight bevel. I beveled way too much but we still managed to make it work. Throats you need a steep bevel and ears not so much as the torch will do most of the work.

Used a template bro. Didn’t lay this one out. You can watch the video. It’s the one I posted prior to this one. Thanks

@@VantageWelding thanks 👍

An 11 on my pancake hood and a 10 on the tiger hood brother

@@VantageWelding yow weld as close as I do, I use an electronic helmet and, I am having problems to get used to it. I think traditional shades are the best then. Thank you so much. Blessings

Tienes razón colega. El 6011 es más común con soldadoras AC. Pero igual se puede soldar con DC. Saludos

Where are you blowing holes brother? Is it seamed pipe? What amps are you using? I’m using 1/8” 6010 around 85-95 for root 8010 5/32” around 125-135 amps brother. But my pipe was a scd 80. Close to 375 wall. It’s a lot more forgiving on root and hot pass.

@@VantageWelding I was running 7018 at around 110 amps 1/8 then I dropped down to 3/32 but I had already down a root pass. It’s just a little project for the weld school I’m in nothing that needs to shoot but I’d like to do it right

@@brodyrhode9064 keep running them 3/32 brother. If you’re blowing though a saddle chances are it’s too thin, excessive grinding, or maybe too high of voltage and staying too long in one spot. 3/32 is king for a weld like that specially since your still in school brother. No need too rush into 1/8. Truth be told, out in the field you can run 3/32 just as fast as you can with 1/8” rod in smaller pipe. The rod size starts making a difference when you start to get into heavier wall and bigger pipe.

@@VantageWelding thanks for the tip bro. Couple more weeks of pipe and I’m out of here. Looking to get into some stainless tig got all my certs for it

@@VantageWelding what kind of motion do you do for uphill 7018 on this or would you only do downhill

8010 Pipeliner brother

Shop machine. Miller maxstar 210. Coming from an avid Lincoln user, I have to admit…. Miller welders are better.

Orale bro gracias

Yes sir. In a real life situation I don’t recommend a cheap ground like I had here. It was the only ground clamp I had as the other rotted out due to corrosion. I need to replace it. Thanks for your observation. 🙌🙌🙌. Thanks for watching budd.

@@VantageWelding your weld's looked pretty good with a small machine like that wish i was back out there welding stuff up again with my rig.

Process engineer. Old helper of mine. We drink sometimes as well.

You are right sir. Thanks for watching

eu não sei se isso é bom ou ruim, mas soa muito legal. obrigado 😂😂🙌

@@VantageWelding no brasil é bom elogio !! Sua solda é muito boa !!! Muito boa mesmo parabéns !!

To top it off, the branch test only qualifies you to weld o-lets 😂

Sticks in my craw

Si intente primo, pero fíjese que a la raza no le gustan muchos mis videos. Así que mejor me dedique a puro inglés.

No ay problema bro. Aquí aceptamos de todas criticas. Es un programa para desarrollarnos el uno al otro. Saludos 🫡

Lo único que no acepto y borro son los comentarios racistas. Que esos llegan todos los días 😂

No it’s a saddle

Thanks TO you, for your TWO cents, TOO. 🫡

They do brother. And you are very correct. That is a killer tip, thanks for your suggestions. My very first video on here was putting a root in with a 80101 rod lol

1/8” 🦾🦾🦾

Hu?

@@VantageWelding does the root penetrate ID to ID ?

Ahh. Yes sir. It has to. You have to catch both walls because your straps will be bent. If there is lock of fusion or incomplete penetration, they will break at the weakest point.

@@VantageWelding 10/4

😂😂😂 you guys are weird g.

Do you drank the koolaid too hu budd. Let’s just wait till winter and discuss this topic again. Thanks for watching friend

@@VantageWelding i sure hope your right

Yes sir.

Thanks for watching 👍

@@VantageWelding I was unimpressed at 5 minutes. So don't thank me with your sarcasm boy.

@@deetalashoma3514 sorry about that budd. Wasn’t trying to impress anyone. It’s just an educational channel open for the public to learn from our experience and mistakes. AGAIN!! Thanks for watching.

@@VantageWelding Yes, experience is the word. I am a "Master Plate Welder", although I am not a machine. I spent around 28 years as a Welder. I appreciate your experience but in my experience I didn't do a lot of SMAW, or MIG welding. I worked in Aircraft/Aerospace. If you can TIG weld material .005 - .010 inches thick, you're hired. And TIG weld an aluminum can back together, again, you're hired. Now however, lasers do that easily. One thing I didn't see was cleaning the weld where you left off, aren't those welds to be of X-Ray quality? Mine are, and sometimes we all fail X-Ray. Keep on keeping on boy. 🤪👍

Thanks for watching 👍
