Horrible Horizontal 8' Pipe Weld

I'm on a pipe welding kick. Today we're welding a 8" horizontal weld and some call this a horrible zontal weld. Nevertheless, sometimes they are necessary and important to know how to do. So let's cut this pipe, fit it up, and weld it.

Austin. I have done quite a few heavy wall large diameter pipe in the horizontal position with cels. Like you said they aint pretty but after awhile we adapt as all welders do. I found on the capping runs the best method was longer arc than normal, the juice up a little more than you would expect and a fast whipping back and forth action. as always the first capping run is critical, to keep it straight I run the grinder around as a tram line so its easier to see. the long arc and fast whipping action reduces the undercut on the top final pass. Just my experience, thought I would share

God bless you and Kayla in 2023. Thanks for sharing your lives with all of us.

Hey Austin, greetings from Costa Rica 👋
I've been learning a lot with your videos, I have discovered your channel years ago, but I'm recently tuned to your channel since I had to build some ocasional welding projects and all of your content has been useful for me.
Thank you for taking time to record this content.
God bless your family and your work.
Cheers

Don’t let this dude fool u, this shit harder than it look 👀🤣🤣

Merry Christmas Ross family! Thank you for these videos and you definitely aren’t the only one that benefits from watching these videos. Good bad or ugly you are humble enough to walk us through step by step on how to do the necessary things to make a great weld.Thanks for the tips and tricks on every video, they are a life saver.

I appreciate the comments about pretty vs clean. Been welding a few 10lb rolls of mig building 16ga fence and just want to make sure its strong, have to build it fast and dirty so welds dont usually look good, but making them look consistent, thinking you can try again just to get a little bit better at controlling it. Basically im glad im getting paid for hood time

[sargentslaughter]

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all!

I really enjoy your videos. The pipeline videos were great, but the common every day welding is what I do around the place. Always surprises me that after literally miles of pipe corrals, I still seem to learn something every video. Thanks

Thanks for taking one for the team in this horiblezontal demonstration. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the AROSS team!

I remember doing 2G in school. I hated every second of it, and still don't like it! 5G was where it's at. It was winter by that time, dark outside since our class was at night, we'd break for supper about 7 and when it came time for welding to continue, I'd dose off mid weld. Several times each night. It was nice and dark, I was warm leaning against the pipe, and the different voices in my head each took turns talking while my body just drug the rods uphill. I legit don't remember welding several of the beads I did or how they even stayed in the bevel. I hated to wake up, but it wasn't for long...

Now I haven't done pipe at work in over a year, but I miss those days. Merry Christmas Austin. See you in 2023!

Really enjoyed this one Austin, you did a great job. You and Kayla have a good break A MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year. Fred.

Above the pipe below the paint good job Austin

[robert]

Hope you and Kayla have a good holidays! Lovin the hoodie and slapped those stickers on my hood. Keep on keepin on

Hey Austin on the building trade side we call those ultra clamps.

[davidlambert]

Great video Austin ....This isn't related to this video but more to the videos on miter's and saddles...I have always used a old bandsaw blade instead of a wrap a round to lay out the cut lines...Also a piece of angle iron 18 to 24 inches works wonderfully to lay out your ordinate lines 4's, 8's, 16's....This old Pipefitter enjoys your content very much !!!

[tomthompson]

interesting to know that some pipeline guys dont like welding in other planes ... enjoy your break, and see you in the new year.

[JimmyLee]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Take the well deserved break and we'll be here when you get back.

lol, it’s been so long since I’ve done a horizontal pipe I bet mine would look like poo! It takes a special touch for sure. I welded high pressure systems years ago and loved it. Every finished system was hydrostaticly ? testes to 50, 000 PSI. Naturally, the most minute flaw, pin hole etc would show. These systems were on special pump systems like on oil and gas well lining materials

Merry Christmas Mr. Ross, you pipeline fellas are something else. 2G I have always 7018 filler and hot passed on a 5P+ ròot . Then on 8 "an cap it would be a 3 stringer. My weld codes require that. Amazing I wish I could do this .God bless happy holidays . P.S . I like that 8010 it runs better than 60. Just tried it for the first time this morning.
