The start of a new Pipeline. For the welding crew at least! ▼ FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM AND X!!! ▼ / xazazelx13 / xazazelx13 #weld #welding #pipelinewelding
Many props to field welder. A friend of mine works the pipe line out of Wisconsin and I had a chance to work with him at another job and now my stick welding and vertical ups are better than they ever were before. Keep fryin.
I'm itching to get into the field. My patience will be rewarded though. To all the welders out there be safe and lay some sexy beads for us who are still learning.
hey bro i love your vids, do you have any tips for me to get into the pipelines? im in school rightnow and i graduate on october 9th this year. and i would want to join the pipelines? how can i join?
1:00-2:13......WOW, i am speechless that person can do some serious welding, all you people out there that are welders know that going from flat to vertical to almost overhead is EXTREMELY difficult to do without repositioning yourself.....aweomse, i love pipeline welding. i wish that was my job.
Hey thanks for uploading the video its great to watch :) i am 26 and have been learning to pipe weld for about 18months now. Can i ask if you have any tips for the root run with 6010hyp you see i struggle right at the bottom, the root is flush inside of the pipe.... everywhere else it has penetrated 1-2mm ? Do i need a slight increase in amps or you think maybe i just need to 'push it' in more? Any advice would be really helpfull
Thanks for reply, i had a go today, root gap 2mm root face 2mm and increased the amps, it felt better had more control... But litterally 1inch right on the bottom...finished of flush inside of the pipe :@ Ill keep trying... will try a further increase in amps tomorow, and change the angle of electrode slightly. 90degrees to the pipe right at the bottom?
The Miller elite is a great lid. I've owned two my new est is the digital. If your going to lay down the coin for one go digital. I wouldnt recommend it for a lot of out doors heavy use where it is subject to the elements. Though i"ve had mine out in some nice Alberta winters. but like i say a great lid for shop use.
wats the best way to keep a steady hand when ur welding i have a problem with that i go to fast and my welds dont come out rite.......and how much does the pipeline pay
ive been hearing alot about shipyards adopting fcaw for almost everything including pipe, i used to work in a fab plant where we migged and core wire welded low pressure pipe, since it wasnt code a full pen. root was not required but i would often practice at it with little success. do you guys know much about wire welding pipe to code?
On some lines they do weld from the bottom up. They start with a root down, low high vertical up. The video shown here, more than likely the electrode is a 7010 or 6010 5p+. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
alright i seen guys with that kind of welding hood (the white one) and i seen guys with the welding hood that is kinda like a squared off with circle cardboard, what are those used for are those guys like QC??
@MrStryperfan Oh oops could you answer my questons bout pg&e? I was wondering if you can weld for them but not be away from home for a month maybe be away for a couple days or whats a job with pg&e that would do that and il still work with my hands not some office job
hey wat company is that and do they require experience workers, i have about at least 1 year of schooling, i just started pipe this semester im on 2 g position , i been using 6010 4 root pass , 7018 4 hot pass , filler, and cap pass
In your opinion how likely is it that all this type of welding will become fully/semi automated in years to come? I'm looking into doing this type of work and i'm not quite sure about my future prospects in the industry. Nice videos you have there as well, cheers.
I have a miller elite and yes there good helmets but the lens is flat, so when i'm welding over head all the slag fslls on the lens cover and Burns it up really fast.
I meant to put after that you guys have to have your own welding trucks right I'm only asking because I'm going to college to go into this field of welding
I have a question, since I'm a learning welder, when I weld pipe should I use a 7010 or 7018 for my root pass? I never get good penetration and I plan on getting a pipe cert. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
- on this pipe i would use 7016 for the root and 7018 for hotpass fill and cap and is stronger then the pipe itself - but it all depends on metal composition and rod and technique so there is no easy answer to how it should be done:))) great vid anyway - thumbs up@__))
Very nice. Where did you (or I guess whoever is being filmed) get started in welding? Small trade school, community college, a bigger, welding specific school or just learned through apprenticeship? There's a big welding school a few states away and I'm wondering if I should go there. Quite an investment to see if I even like doing this haha.
Krookiemonster -Each weld is x-ray, after ditching, lowering in, hdd, tie-ins, backfill and alot of other stuff is done they hydro-test the line in the ground, usually miles at a time.
i should have gone to school and become a welder, i'm sure its not fun all the time, but what job is right?, i believe it's pretty good money in the oil patch....nice vid!
hi i am thinking about going into pipeline welding can you tell me some of the goods and the bad parts of the job and the basic information on this job? any response would be greatly appreciated
