PRACTICES PIPE  01

 

PRACTICE NAME

PIPE FLAT POSITION

PROCESS

SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40

POSITION

FLAT 1G PIPE

FILLER

SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6

MACHINE SETTINGS

AS REQUIRED

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd  root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or use filler wire 3/32).

Weld the pipe in the flat position by rotating and welding only the top section until the pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 and the rest of the pipe with E-7018.

The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.

The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.

The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

 

 

PRACTICES PIPE 02

 

PRACTICE NAME

PIPE HORIZONTAL POSITION

PROCESS

SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40

POSITION

HORIZONTAL 2G PIPE

FILLER

SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6

MACHINE SETTINGS

AS REQUIRED

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd  root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or use filler wire 3/32).

Weld the pipe in the Horizontal holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest of the pipe using the stringer bead technique. Weld beads from lower pipe (bottom) to top pipe.

The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.

The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.

The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

 

PRACTICES PIPE 03

 

PRACTICE NAME

PIPE VERTICAL POSITION

PROCESS

SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40

POSITION

VERTICAL 5G PIPE

FILLER

SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6

MACHINE SETTINGS

AS REQUIRED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd  root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or use filler wire 3/32).

Weld the pipe in the 5G Vertical holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest of the pipe using the weave bead technique.

The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.

The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.

The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

45 DEGREE INCLINED 6G PIPE POSITION

PROCESS

SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40

POSITION

6G PIPE

FILLER

SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6

MACHINE SETTINGS

AS REQUIRED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd  root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or use filler wire 3/32).

Weld the pipe in the 6G position holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest of the pipe using the weave bead technique.

The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.

The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.

The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.
