There are no pipefitters on a pipeline, they are called spacers and stabbers, everyone else is a welder or a helper.

Funny, I worked with uphill refinery pipe welders for years and some don't even know that pipelines are welded downhill.

Guards are for sissies, lol.

Dude thats soo awesome they dont have no underwater welders on youtube

How many amps do u think it would take for root pass and cap that whole pipe my friends

@@podjo2k9 I give up, how many amps Mister Frogman?

Seems legit

That hand sign is those with long term relationship with the job.. not for begginers..

It’s the type of rods they’re using that allows them to weld a downhill root pass. You must not know too much about welding......

Jordan Evans you’d be surprised how many people don’t know about downhill welding it’s kinda shocking lol

For pipe welding the down hill root pass method is better.....There is far less undercut on the root pass while it is easier for the welder to view the Key Hole and the positioning of the hand and arm and elbow *dropping down* feels more natural and comfortable rather than pulling up from bottom to top.........with the Heat up High , You more or less bury the rod in the gap and run a tight key hole and skate along........... If the Key hole begins to grow too large because the gap is too wide then lower the heat 5 amps to 10 amps or more to gain control of the key hole.....If the Key hole becomes to tight because the gap is too tight then up the amps by 5 or 10 amps or more to maintain that tight key hole.....when everything is just right you can hear the consistent hissing and sizzle sound. If the gap closes up way too tight then use the mini grinder with a 1 / 8 thick blade to feather out the the thickness of the land. Leave your heat setting the same but when you fire up again anticipate you may have thinned out the land a little too much and not enough meat to handle the amp setting so be ready to immediately down 5 or 10 amps .....or you may not have feathered out the land quite enough and need to up 5 amps or 10 amps or more.....On the stops and starts fire up about a 1 / 2 inch before the key hole and pull a long arc and come down on the bead a little slowly to make sure the arc is fully stabilized and then begin to press lightly into the bead and start moving the arc towards the key hole while anticipating you will break through just slightly before the key hole.....and when you see you effectively break through and begin to gently bury the rod in between the gap and then pause for a count of 1 to 2 seconds to make sure you back fill the start and stop and do not leave a lack of penetration at the stop / start *Blending* point and then begin to move and carry on with the rod buried between the gap Been there done that 1975 to 1985

Very nice downhill penetration welding. 33 years ago I was a pipe welder. 6GR (my country called it). Watch and envy these professions. Especially, overhead welding, it needed years of practices.

Which country,💐

Also some videos please Show us what skills you have !

OK

and same speed...

johnnee51 Don't see many good welders then ..?

Яка там може бути повага Дауну, який матючча пер❗

А ось автор не вiдповідає у коментаріях , якою маркою електродів користуються зварювальники зварюючи стики з верху у низ❗🤨

Ohh really that really cool tho

Michael Smith stock with tig brother stick ain’t near as fun

Stick

bleiddudd lol wish they would climate control our building

@@mrblonde3032 Haha same here

It's the money....outside..everyday different....

xAZAZELx13 how many passes did that take to fill?

xAZAZELx13 do you run dc- for the root run and dc+ hot caps?

How many welding rods were used on each seam ?

xAZAZELx13 no problem boss 👍

Same here too,that why I came on KZfaq to watch about the underground welding tho

ive been a welder for 35 years mostly steel and aluminum tank trailers. I just discovered welding videos beleive it or not. Some are good, some not so good. When you said underground welding did you mean undewater?

Brandon King Did you work on the pipeline?

Your woman will decide if you get to pipleine!
