Honestly it's crazy a guy works all day welding and he's addicted to welding videos . Yup I'm a pipeliner . Fuckin love alberta oil. Great job as always !!!
So you guys don't clean the weld on restarts? Guess its not about tensile strength of the weld as much as its about sealing the pipe so that liquid can flow..?
Tensile strength is probably a very small part of it, because after the pipe is set, there is no moving it unless you intentionally ram into it with a truck.
Ï dream about it’s in my sleep yesterday night sml because ï passion for my pipelines dem just love pipelines omg sml just put gods first in everything me is going to do in my passions yah because it’s just dreams big 📝📝📝ï likes to moves too 📝📝🥽📌
Welding current needs a complete circuit to flow. And it will always take the path of least resistance. So you could imagine that the gloves, slag, basically everything the welder is wearing is an insulator. Whereas steel is great at conducting current.
not worried about shock, there is nothing to be a conduit. you're worried about heat. if it's too hot to hold, you're probably running too hot to weld, as a general rule of thumb...
These rods are made for pipeline purpose and are great for downhill. And no you run uphill when welding pipes aswell in international standards downhill is almost a pipeline exclusive. You either weld it with ok 46.44 or 6010 (root) 7018 Cap.
OSHA would have a cow if they seen this lol. Where I work I have to wear a fall harness and a hardhat and my welding hood needs to have a halo that connects to a hardhat...... Great video.
15ironreaver seeing as they're only about a foot off the ground I don't think a fall harness is necessary. There's nothing overhead either so a hard hat wouldn't do all that much. I've been on job sites like what your explaining though and yes the amount of safety precautions are definitely up there. Fucking everything has to have a tether line , you gotta wear your hard hat to go take a shit, gotta keep your fall harness clipped on even when your on the dam ground.
What electrodes do you use ? Me in Russia for 8 years on the Assembly line such technology welding did not come across. STT root only ) and the electrodes from the bottom up )
Would much prefer doing a job like that in freezing weather compared to doing that in a hellish summer climate. Pipe fitters have to deal with extreme heat in the summer time. My dad used to work in scrap iron and he had to cut scrap regularly and in the summer time in Georgia he would sometimes sweat so much that around the collar of his long sleeve denim shirts salt build up would form. He was a gatorade fanatic and went thru a lot of it.
U mean frezzing right lol hope no gas in pipes lol cool video ,they dont unless welding is finished . looks like root pass on this video . still cool 🎥
Roach 277 yep you won't be able to hit everything and there's a lot to welding you have a lot of different processes blue prints welding symbols you have to have the book smarts and the hands on that will make you a good rounded welder and never be afraid to get out of your comfort zone because sometimes you are not going to be comfortable you try to be as much as possible but sometimes it's just not possible
i'm doing a 1050 hour 12 month course and at month 10 i'm still doing 3G (you have to pass a bend test to move to the next position) i'm not even sure i'll make it to 6G pipe by the end. already signed up for the advanced class that is another 750 hours so i can get experience with tig. it takes a lot of practice and you have to put the time in.
+Defnotdemas Tig welder for 22 years.Done alot of stick and mig.Any code welding whether it be on bridges,gas line,oil line or whatever is always welded up.Pipe certification requires a 6G test,meaning vertical up.
+3V1LB3N you can use 6010 5p+ as well. i work in a pipe shop, took a text to work in a plant a few months. 6010 5p+ bead and hot pass downhand and fill and cap with 7018
It's called a slider, or a slick. You use it so you can easily roll inside of the pipe to back weld, idk about this particular pipeline but usually you only have to weld fittings or engineered bends. ( the really sharp turns in the pipe) because there are usually .780 thickness. But some pipelines want all welds back welded except tie ins. Hope this helped
If youre a welder,you know that they push electrode too much into it,making root absolutely bad, but they make second weld over it.....finished! If somewhere leak something,no problem it normal.... lol buddy you get dissmissal for this horrifiny welding in czech republic. Do they even x-ray welds afterwards?
I guess it's a question of which level quality preferred. Nowhere in Europe a pressure pipe would be accepted welded on this low level.. Even on standard building/construction you're supposed to grind between each stick..
ArrigAutist Comparing Northern Eu with the rest in welding are not fair our standards are way beyond many parts of the world😀 No grinding between passes or atleast clean up... insta fail😁
I just found ur video. cool video btw. I liked it. I was wondering why ur using stick welding, wouldn't fluxcore wire welding be better? seems u could make a longer weld without stopping.
it would make a longer weld without having to stop, but SMAW or how most know it "stick" is better cuz it cuts in to the metal far better then flux core, so "stick" is stronger for most jobs. this is why.
Auto Dark filters will malfunction in cold weather, some times they just plain stop working. Having to change battery's or swap filters all the time is rookie work.
I'm not a pipe welder, so forgive my ignorance, but I was under the impression that a pipe root pass was always done uphill. I suppose that's not true?
lilcrits no whipping. Look closely at the guys stinger , he stays right in the puddle the whole time. You do see him pushing that rod in deep to penetrate though. Good work fellas ! Gotta be a tough day with snow on the ground then you get kinda sweaty from welding and moving around. Lotta respect
I'm curious as to why they're welding downhill. I have been told by my college professor, a former CWI that downhill welds on plate or pipe over two for diameter can only be welded uphill according to AWS D1.1
Try running hot hot downhand really fast with 8010 8p+ it's a lot more difficult than you think. I've been running lo-hy up for years, transitioning to down hand, I have about 30 coupons burned together. It's hard. Give the guys some credit.
