WHY PIPELINE WELDERS WEAR PANCAKE WELDING HOODS (EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW)
Austin Ross finally explains pancake welding hood purpose. Many pipeline welder wear pancake welding hood, but why? Learn why the pancake welding hood with auto darkening lens is the preferred pipeliner hood. Many ask “pancake welding hood vs pipeliner” because it is confusing that the hood with pipeliner in the name isn’t what a lot of pipeline welders wear. We aren’t talking history or how pancake hood and pipeliner hoods got their name but you will learn why pipeliners wear pipeliner pancake welding hood.

I use those normal composite with the auto darkening lenses that you see fabricators use and just add a small piece of leather to block out back light and what is nice about the normal auto darkening composites is they allow you to have an option for grinding as well, so you use the helmet as a face shield as well.

Haven't seen a single pancake here In Sweden. When I worked as a welder I had a speedglass hood, with a fan unit around my waist. Ridiculously expensive, but since I didn't need to buy them myself, totally worth it. No back light, fresh air, and really comfortable! And with a Kevlar under hood you didn't get eny sparks on your head/neck at all.

excellent speaker, very clear speech and perfect delivery! I'd never seen a hood like this, but I understood it immediately. I was a track welder on a small railroad, and almost all my welding was done outdoors...that's where the tracks are. Every track welder I ever worked with used a conventional "sugar scoop" hood, and would stuff rags into the top, to try to keep the sun out. Others would just struggle with the sunlight and hope for the best. I saw a catalog one time, and saw this leather hood....kind of a leather bag, with the usual harness setup for supporting a welder's hood. It covered the whole head and down the back of the head as well. Perfectly dark inside. I used it indoors as well, and it was good for crawling under a piece of track machinery to paste something back together...tight quarters and a rigid hood would not fit in there. No sizzling BBs in the ear canal, either. Also very nice for air-arc work at 400 amps with a blast of air blowing stuff out of the puddle.

My advice to those serious about achieving the goal of becoming a certified welder and fitter is start as a laborer or welders helper on the job. You'll learn many things crucial to prime workmanship that a welding school doesn't teach. Welding School can provide you the equipment and technical training applicable but you can't limit yourself by practicing "in position" all the time. Practice 3g & 4g (vertical & overhead) and 6g on pipe (45° axis). As a helper I used my breaks and lunch times practicing on scrap. I passed my 1st field test ( 3g uphill , e7018) '72 because the welder was too fat to get in the fuel tank through its porthole. Practice, practice, practice.....Be the best you can be but without self-pride. Stay humble and you'll learn much more than otherwise. Compete with your own potential, not with someone else. Be dynamic, not stop&go.

I'll never wear a hoodie or hooded jacket while welding. In my early 20's I was welding a ladder on a grain silo. I'm 20+ feet in the air welding and wearing a hoodie when I feel a tug on my feed line. My buddy was desperately trying to tell me that my hood caught some slag and burst into flames. 17 years later and I still don't wear a hoodie of any type to weld.

@thegrandfinale2 it's not just a good suggestion. At my company all welding is halted 20 minutes before calling it a day. Not only to clean up, but to ensure there's nothing scorching hot before leaving. We also have an old wives tale about being extra cautious on Thursdays. Because of one reason. Payday being Friday means it is cheaper on the company to die Thursday.

I always appreciate your advice and tips. I only weld at home usually small farm repairs or small welding projects. I just have traditional welding helmets that flip up. They have different shades of lenses. Two are cheaper auto darkening and a couple with flip up welding lens so you can see to chip with a clear lens. And just yesterday I had back light problems trying to repair the tailgate on my dad's 1963 GMC pickup. Also I once got a hot metal spark in my eye while wearing safety glasses and a welding helmet that was down. The welding lens was up and was looking through the clear lens while using the metal chop saw. Sometimes shit just happens.

@Austin Ross, very well done video! Man, things have changed since I was a pipeliner back in the later 60's. The welders waited for me to put a bend or a sag on a joint, then my side boom operator set the joint down on the right of way next to the ditch for them. Don't remember some details of the pipe but it was naked 36" × .250" steel with beveled ends. When the welders finished welding up the joint, the welds were X-rayed then the dope gang wrapped the pipe. Again, don't recall the details. We worked as late as we needed to on tie ins and "shooting the pig". The welders were men from all over and loved what they did. Our boss Jack Maggard took good care of us all. I had a chance to go to Brazil with the company (McCathern Pipeline) after military service was out of the way. They were drafting back then and I got my Welcome to the Army of the United States letter in August of 68. Now, about those bald spots on your head........lol!

Austin Ross. You have some great welding videos. I watch your channel alot. Something that I've come across recently is adaptation to your surroundings and the tooling you have at hand. Often times in the trade world we look for the "easy" way out. I.E. auto dark hoods, step drills, etc. I would greatly enjoy seeing a video of minimalist tooling out on a job and how to over come said obstacles. No job will ever be the same, as with what you bring to said job. Ambidextrous welding is something that I feel would be very fitting to your channel. As well as welding without a resting point for free hand welding and act cutting. I do not intend this comment to give you any grief, just something to brew in your mind. Love the videos. -G.Ness

Having the shade adjustability and the super clear lens is nice for high precision stuff and if I need to weld in a cramped space like an in car roll cage or performance exhaust type work. I might have to try a pancake for some of the mobile service/ mobile fab type jobs.

when i started learning to weld, early 70s, i was told the most important thing was that the welder be comfortable. at first that was a joke. but NO its very important. i was hard faceing trencher teeth with torch. with a #4 lens. and my eyes was burning. so i stacked a #3 and 4 together. my eyes stopped burning.

@@LOOoZZzERr I totally disagree. If there was a handsome guy and an ugly guy next to one another girls would go to the handsome guy first. Looks make women want to get to know you or at least looks will help get women to talk to you. If you are ugly you might be the nicest and sweetest person in the world but a girl won't know that because they won't give the ugly guy a chance.

I'm not a welder but have done a lot of welding in industry in the last 3 years before I retired and my favourite hood was the auto darkening one. So with a "normal" auto darkening helmet you could make a sponge rubber square box around the lens to fit to your face and so exclude the back glare from the surrounding lighting.......this might make your face or the lens steam up from the trapped moisture etc.....gonna try it next time I go out there.

@restojon1 3 жыл бұрын

Really interesting, I've never seen anything like this in the UK. I restore vintage cars and motorcycles so I do a reasonable amount of fabrication although I'm not continuously welding all day every day. I must admit, that problem you mentioned with the light coming in down the side of the inside of the mask does get on my tits a bit but I usually put a cover over the vehicle I'm working on or if I'm outside try and Jerry rig my way around it. Most of the full-time welders are using those ventilated masks like the Speed-Glas ones now from what I've seen. They're all sealed up to the face. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this, always fascinating to see how different people do jobs different ways (and I can guarantee you're a better welder than me, lol) I only have two basic college qualifications on MIG, ARC and gas. I've had a fiddle with TIG under supervision from a proper fabricator and can get steel to glue together quite nicely but I made a small hole in some ally tube ... into a very big hole lol 😆 Stay safe out there and may the hot rocks not fall down your boots
