- 6G - MAX TIG Weld Test 2" XXH | Test Tips for F6/F6 Full Tig Welding Procedure !
6G welding test with tig root pass on a 2" 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.
I will show the steps from fill passes to finishing with a multi-pass cap.
The pipe welding techniques used, and the welding procedure as per ASME Section IX welder performance qualification (WPQ) pipe welding certification.

None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
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!

It doesn’t cost you anything but massively helps my TH-cam channel. Thank you.

Hey guys, as suggested by many subscribers, I did implement audio commentary on my video, which I was hesitant to do from beginning as English is not my first language. Feel free to comment or give any feedback.
Definitely better with commentary. Your English is perfect bro
English is my first language and you are better at it than me. You are also a better welder. :D
@@kwent86 Thank you brother for your comment, I am sure you are also a great welder! 👍

I'm a Union Boilermaker in the States. This is our standard test for combination certs (tube test is what we call it). We're only allowed a single TIG root pass, no hot pass, and then SMAW the rest of the way out. No grinder allowed. File, chipping hammer, and a wire brush only. Every once in a while, we have to TIG it all the way out. I like the bridge tacks that you are allowed to use. I wish they would let us use bridge tacks and allow a hot pass, but they want four tacks so they can see the tie-ins. Then, no hot pass is allowed, so they can see you are able to weld SMAW over the root without getting suck back. Also, your English is great, and so is your welding!
Thanks for your comment bud, this is typical UA test. Thanks for reminding me about boilermakers welding procedures, I did that test couple of times back in the days. Take care buddy 💪
What union? I'm in the 107 Wisconsin boilermakers union
@charleswronge4743 I was out of Boilermakers Local 83 Kansas City, MO. But, I transferred my book to Boilermakers Local 456 Rock Hill, SC. I was down here for so long working for CB&I at Vogtle that I ended up relocating to this area. At least for now, anyway. I'll probably eventually end up transferring back into Local 83 eventually.
我们这里的也是不允许使用电动工具！
Yo X3M, you have no idea how much the commentary help!! And your english is spot on so keep it up! Im actually right in the middle super coupons, stainless and carbon so hats off to you! Though ive been welding 15+ years this still helps a ton, we still learn everyday!! Im up in dead horse alaska in oilfields. Thanks mate!!!!!
Hey Brandon, I appreciate your comment brother , thank you very much. Yes, you are right, we still learn every day. Even if we think we’ve done all and seen all, and there is always someone with something different that you’ve never seen before . That’s the beauty of our trade. Take care up there and good luck 🤞.
Best videos to watch in my opinion, you keep the viewers informed of what you are doing and also what to expect the weld pool to do.
👍🏽 excellent work 👏🏼
Nice, thanks for taking us through the test to see the results.
You are very welcome 🙏
you're welding videos have me back feeding at 11/18 of welding school.
Jam up coupon. One of the best test I've seen someone do.
Thank you buddy, I appreciate that 🙏
I flipping love this channel! Your incredible.
Thanks man😊!! I appreciate it so much!!💪🏻
What a beautiful weld!!!!!! Awesome skills!!!!!! Great job!!
Super! Slick cap and interesting talk! Respect for your work
Thanks bud appreciate your comment 🙏
I passed this test to become unrestricted and I actually did a double split weave cover. It looked nice enough but I had alittle valley in the center of weaves I wasn't happy with(still higher than the o.d. of pipe) but I always do a 3 pass cover now to this day! Nice clean fill btw👍
Good job brother 💪
Thank you Brother , you are spot on . Keep them coming
That walk the cup is insane 😳 good work man ay
woooo you did the commentary!! badass video man appreciate the tips
Thank you brother for your comment . 🙏
Well done! 👍🏼Love your new intro and video is amazing, lot of helpful info and really detailed explanations! Thank you brother! 😎
Thank you brother, I appreciate your honest comment.🙏
Good dipping on the sides of the bevel ☝🏽💯
Professional work. Well done. I have been in this craft for 14 years and I have been working in it. Are you looking for a professional dreamer?
looks like the CLAC weld testing center! small world. I'm going there to renew my F6-F5 tomorrow.
Good luck 🤞
Muito bom o prosseguimento de soldagem no esclarecimento 180 XX Max Muito bom 😊
Didn't look like any root bends, in Manitoba, our roots are bent against the grain, tansgrain I think. Your a wicked welder!!
Holy shit massive root lol. I use a 3/32 gap and a 3/32 rod and push the whole time. 3/32 all the way out max175 amps till fill then turned down to 155. Looks nice!
And we 100% xray gtaw process. Not allowed to xray short circuit due to lack of fusion being hard to show on xray with gmaw process on root when doing gmaw/fcaw tests
The 6-G I took was 2 parts 6 inch with stick and 2 inch with tig both were on 45 degrees.
what do you mean ,the 6g you took? Where? for what job? 6g tests come in all types and flavors lol. This is a typical UA 25 2" carbon heavy wall tig all the way out. Are you saying you have taken a different test? That is not surprising. There are lots of tests.
well done.....thanks for showing....Paul down in Florida USA
Thanks Paul 👍🍻
@@X3MTIG enjoying all your videos, very informative and well photographed.....sharing to my friends and Facebook.....cheers, Paul
Bom dia amigo tudo bom muito o processo de soldagem procedimento mecânico
Just finished my UA-67 , This video been very helpful .but my result was a little bit different .I have 5 cover passes overlapped very tight 😅
As long as you passed that’s all matters. Keep up the good work 👍
@X3MTIG Thank you for sharing and caring
Solidarity, Brother! Congrats! IBB Local 456 Rock Hill, SC by way of Local 83 Kansas City, MO.
Amazing, monster pipe ❤️
Glad you like it!
You're English is fine. What's your first language?
Thank you man!😊 My first language is Croatian.
@@X3MTIG that's awesome. 💯 you make really great welding videos. I love welding been doing it all my life and always learning new techniques. I applied the videos you make they make me a better welder through your site.
@@travisjones9508 Thank you so much, I am really happy to hear that! 😊
@@X3MTIG Best wishes, Paul in USA florida
Your English is good) At first I thought of slight Russian accent. Have you taken IELTS English test? What score?
What's crazy is you seem to burn pretty hot and travel quite slow. I've tried that and that just never a good combination for me and doesn't work especially after metal is already hot
Boa Noite amigo tudo bom muito bom raiz do tubo😊
Ok bagus sekali.,semoga saya bisa,melakukan nya, trmksih ❤
Good job
He said the heart breaker machine 😆 sounds about right
Can you teach us some industry tips and tricks for mess ups in the field.
Thanks for your comment. Good suggestion, I will work on that 👍
🤩 Amazing 🙌🏾
Thanks brother 🙏
why is welding difficult?
I have a liquid cooled Tig torch and a foot pedal.
Looks good bro.
Thanks brother 🍻
Công nghệ bên you khá là ok 🥰 tôi thích điều này
Do you recommend bumping up the amps and feeding a bunch of wire into the fill passes just to save time?
200 amps and above, it all depends how much you can handle, but, yeah use 5/32 for filler passes and you’ll finished faster , but it’s not about finishing faster it’s about to learn to weld tig faster.
I do this .... because the time limitation on test are there and as long as you can see the penetration there shouldn't be a problem
Great video, I take mine tm
Thank you man and good luck!!💪😎
How’d you do?
Super skill brother 😍👍🇮🇩❤️🔥
Thanks brother 💪
Sweet
You should stagger your stops and starts. Can get cluster porosity.
When you doing fill pass why u always start at the top side to down side ?
Hey bud, no specific reason it’s more of a habit, but in some cases like horizontal welding examples I like to do top first, to prevent any slag traps if I’m using stick welding.
Why do you start at the top and work down on your fills?
Hey bud, I like to put first fill pass at the top, just to prevent creating extra groove, it’s more like a habit, but helps especially when stick welding in horizontal. Sometimes you create groove between weld bead and side wall, which can easily trap any slag or poor fusion. That’s the main reason.
Boa tarde amigo tudo bom
nice
Thanks Pawel 🙏
What amp do you run your root and also your cap at for this. 2”??
So on root past. What's ur amp on it. Hundred
100-105
What’s amps you running on root pass?
At 6 minutes do you say 120 to 120 amps?
22 years welding GTAW and SMAW can't believe I busted twice similarly test smaller thickness. Root was perfect. Running to cold?
Any coaching tips
Failed on bend test?
Yes I have pics also I would like to send u the pic sir is root bend

Not showing to root pass amp and other information so next video to show all properly information please 👍
Man, you didn’t even listen to the video than! 🤯 He did mention it, for the root pass he used 120 amps , cup size 8, tungsten 1/8. This guy always makes detailed videos and explains everything, unlike many other channel creators. It seems like people always want more…like the best would be if he could weld for others! 🙄 Also, amps he uses for root pass don’t guarantee you’ll be able to use the same, depends on experience and how much can you handle!
That's a huge root? I'd fail if.it.was that heavy
If it’s below 1/8 he’s good
Free hand the root walk the rest out
U didn’t even say the temperature ur running at ???👀👀👀

I did but you didn’t pay attention enough!!!
Kee hole it awsome
Thanks! 😊
