Very interesting video, it has been two years that I entered the quality area and I am working directly in the field in the manufacture of storage tanks according to API-650 and for piping according to N-115 (Petrobras Standard), and I confess that I still have a certain difficulty regarding the rotation of the flange when it is different from 90º.

Glad you're happy in your retirement, the Spanish word for retirement is Jubilación, in english allied i suppose to the word 'Jubilation', glad you made it to now you can chill, i'm also Retired i was a Mechanical Fitter here in Ireland , worked on large Construction jobs as a Millwright, also as a Pipe Fitter, and later as a Maintenance Fitter in Big Pharma on Shift, worked with so many great welders a real Brotherhood, remember one lad out in the Desert in South Australia on a Oil Tank Farm, he was so short sighted and other lads fronted up and did his Welding Test for him, so that he could get the Pass Cert to go onto the Construction Site, they really carried him , giving him the Root bead, then others would grind it and dress it up follow up with a 'Hot Pass' high Amps and the next lad would the do 'the Cap', the Welding Inspector [ 'Cut Out' John] knew there was something suspect with those X Rays of the Welds, but couldn't prove it... as they still Passed they reckoned because of being so badly near sighted he was, the reckoned,"The Welder that could Weld by Braille"...Best wishes...

@justinhill376 2 жыл бұрын

When I first got into welding, I must have watched every "how to weld" video on the internet. Now 2 1/2 years later I certified for asme and my bosses started putting me on more pipe like I wanted. I thought it would be soo easy and simple, while in some aspects it is, the more I do it the more difficult it's becoming which makes me want to do more. Went with my boss to measure for over 50' of 28" pipe with 45's, 90's, 60° cuts and rolling offsets and now learning to fit and weld. Holy shit.

Check 15 times, weld once. Steel is so much less forgiving than wood. I haven't welded an inch of pipe ever, but I know a quality fabricator when I see one.

@mrillis9259 2 жыл бұрын

My uncle would say the opposite about wood vs steel As he was welding a piece back to its original length. This is why we aren't carpenters.

At my last job, the company was too cheap to buy clamps like in the video, so we had to fit the 90 sideways and put a level on top, it was either that or sometimes we had to weld a stock bar to the 90 and use a jackstand to raise or lower the stock bar so our 90 would be squared....improvise, adapt, overcome

Nice video and don't be shy to use a straight edge and tape measure to check your final fitment of your 90 degrees, measure to the top pipe to bottom of straight edge, it will give to most accurate measurement, because levels once dropped to many times can go out of level.
