6G Welding Test | TIG Root Pass | Full TIG Welding Procedure ! Part 1/2

6G welding test with tig root pass on a 3" XXH wall, with a full tig welding procedure.
6G is where the pipe is fixed at a 45-degree angle and welded in this fixed position.
So, it basically covers flat, horizontal, and vertical welding, and overhead in a single position.
In this video, I will break down the steps to pass the 6G position test, starting with the root pass, and in the second video, I will show the steps from fill passes to finish with a multi-pass cap.
The pipe welding techniques used, and the welding procedure is also identical to the AWS D1.1 and ASME Section IX welder performance qualification (WPQ) pipe welding certification. As per ASME Section IX.

All of my videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and different welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

COK GUZELI REALLY LEARNED SOMETHUNG FROM YOU TANKS

[derekslayter]

What's the purpose of large filler material with the tacks? I've never seen that done.

[calebc]

is turning your amps up helping keep that puddle up? i always get the puddle falling on my tungsten

[kendrickhodge]

U have help me learn more to prepare myself to retake my pipe next week I messed up in my cap but only difference is I’m using an roller button torch and I gotta run on 116 Amps on an 45 degree angle putting a root pass and cap on a 1/16 gap and either capping it with a 3/32 or 1/16 and but that cup I’m using it’s wayyyy bigger than the one in the video plus my torch im has a curve I don’t have nothing to sit my arm on to keep it steady so I’m thinkingg would it be better than to try to walk to cup it’s like size 8 or 9 I’m normally using an 6 but any suggestions

[TheScottishCorsaBGuy]

how do you stop the suck back at the very bottom 6 o’clock just keep heat down?

[warriorchrist]

Nice but I bet that gap was 1/4? Not 1/8 as specified. Did I mention "bon job?

[bobwferguson]

I did the stick bridge test didn’t pass the root was bad and I didn’t grind it out I didn’t guitar understand the procedure

[mayorgamauricio]

El paso caliente por el espesor del material podría ir mejor a 180 amps

[alejandroalarcon]

what size tungsten and size of filler rod?

[mrillis]

Imagine how easy it would be with a consistent feathered edge.

[Avila]

I tried this today on 4 sch 40 and I tried walking and I kept on sticking. Is the amperage the same ? Should I freehand instead?

[codydraper]

Who tf puts a bridge tack on a monster ? You’re not purging it do it the right way
