Austin Ross introduces you to his pipeline life urban dictionary. The pipeline lifestyle is an interesting one and working your way into it can be confusing if you don’t know the pipeline jargon. He rattles off pipeline lingo and describes pipeline terminology. Pipeline slang has been used for years and certain things have two pipeline slang terms. If you have been lost in oil and gas terminology and want to know oilfield lingo this video is for you. Also included is welding terminology, pipe welding terminology, welding terms, and pipeline welder terminology. Here is your guide to all the pipeline slang words used on the ROW.

Draggin up is my favorite term, and favorite part of the job
You didn’t say anything about kicking your bottles
6G is the position you have when you weld the joint. 6G or Arkansas bellhole is the pipe on a 45 degree angle with no way to rotate the pipe on that angle. Look up 1G, 2G,3G,4G and 5G as positions and rotations of the pipe as it is being welded. 6G being the hardest to weld!
My ex husband is a welder and my favorite was always draggin up , I use the weed burner to start a real good fire in the fire pit 😂, and I’ll never forget when an operator a few years ago was talking about some girls he would take back to the housing and in the mornings if I saw the girls stumbling out he’d laugh and say “wine em dine em pipeline em. “ lol
I’m a Pipefitter out of local 25 , worked with a few 798 members over the years, great guys and can stick weld like no other local!! Love seeing these videos, keep them up. Anyway, see a lot of people saying hand on here. We call people hand too. But the guys that aren’t gonna make it, we call fingers. Cause they ain’t never gonna make a hand .
Mr. Ross....the torch is probably called that because many people use one to burn weeds out of the fence rows....just a suggestion....love the vids man!
That is correct
hell yeah thats all mine gets used for at home
You might already know this but pipe bevels used to be 37 and 1/2 degrees.The old weld weaves were uphill and wide.The Trans Alaska Pipeline reduced that bevel to 30 degrees.What allowed this was high penetration down hill rods .What was called the" cell 80".A German rod and forerunner of today's 80xxseries down hill pipe welding rods.Less weld downhill therefore faster with less heat affected zones.On the 48 inch the landing was 1/16th and gap 3/32.
Back in the 60s and early 70s (I'm 75) we used to sometimes send the bussy to town to get us some "jungle" which was bread and ham and all the makings for lunch sandwiches. Ever heard "jungle" used that way Austin?
Worked pipelines too. Jungle lunch and bussey were used.
Hey Justin, this one had my friends in stitches! They never seen a pipeline, much less worked one. I got excited to share this one, and of course, I had to define the terms before you did! :))
I scored a 100%, and they laughed their ....off!
Thank you, 'Hand'!
'Hand' : That guy or gal you may work with and respect for their ability on the pipelines, or that guy or gal that you see in the store (but never met) in their starched shirts, puffy hats, ....and you know just by looking at him/her, that he or she is a 'pipeline hand'.
Great video! Brings back fond memories!
Thank you very much!
Lol man I enjoyed this, sometimes I forget other people might not know this terminology. Good job
Here in Utah we call them ditch torches but use them to burn weeds. Here in the high desert ditches and canals might be the only area around for miles with water. It is common for weeds 'think tumble' to grow or collect in these ditches. To avoid the vegetation clogging the canals you walk the banks with your ditch torch burning them, hence weed torch I would imagine.
Great content. You provide a very valuable service. A lot of guys are "job security" types. It is so cool that your willing to share and teach. May all your two holes be level!
This one of my favorite welding channels. Im in welding school. You give me hope to actually get work after.
Favorite term Texas tig. Use it alot around our farm
What's that a gas torch and a piece o f bailing wire for filler?
Darin Rothwell nah it’s stick using two rods basically you have one in your stinger like normal and then you have one in your hand like a filler rod like you would tig and then use that to help fill bigger gaps or if the rod is too thin that’s what Texas tig is
I’m enjoying these Videos very much having never been on a Downhill Line. I’m retired aged 74 yrs, I spent over 30 yrs in L/H’s, and Precious Metals T.I.G. I have an old friend who has been a Welding Pipeliner using Down Hill rods, but he also Specialise in Automatic Machines on Lay Barges. Could you send me the link to download you Pipeline terms Book.
Bell holes are a lot better now than when I was working. The ditch used to be straight up 20 feet with no protection. Often it was caving in. I was popular as a helper because I didn't mind digging out a larger bell whole so the older welders could get far back from the pipe so they could see the bevel on the bottom.
Always liked hippie rod, used when 7018 was new on the scene. Perception was all the young longhairs liked it because it was easier to run.
I love your videos, i am not much of a welder, inspected for 6.5 years now getting into welding. Keep the videos goin.
How about H I = height of instrument. Running pipe in a right away and anywhere we need to know the elevations of grade and the pipe line so we start out with the height of the transit. Great videos! Thank you and keep them coming.
Good job Ross. I always enjoy watching your videos dude.
Is it best to get a newer miller or lincoln welder or are the older more common lincolns still a safe bet?
Received my dictionary very quickly. Thanks and please keep the awesome videos headed our way.
Should we drag up and leave em in a bind or stick around and put ‘em in one
You sounded almost like an auctioneer when this video started!
Great video. Do you ever see surveyors asbuilting the welds and weld mapping the joints?
Oh ya. I see surveyors all the time out on the job.
Hey Austin; I have a bobcat 250 diesel, whip and stinger, and a ford XL 2006 f150 with offroad wheels. I want to start chasing jobs with my rig but I don't know how to build connections. Also, do I need to have a TIG rig for this? I live in the South East Alabama area.
Weed burner could also mean there was a stoner on the job, as in we sent that weed burner down the road. Welded lots of pipe, thick pipe, thin pipe, long pipe and short pipe all up-hill and inside the perimeter of the Chevron Refinery El Segundo Ca. If you are serious and want to advance your trade as a welder I suggest getting a copy of "Welding Terms and Definitions" published by the American Welding Society, Miami Fl. Thanks Austin I learned a few things from your presentation.
Really good videos. Keep me up man, second gen. Pipeliner here. I wish I had watched your videos before I got started strawing for bend crews. 3 years ago.
That sounds like the names my wife calls me when put my hunting clothes in hamper at end of deer season.
Thanks for your time to share this.
How do I apply for these jobs? I’m looking to get into the pipeline industry but I can’t find anything on Indeed. I’m in Denver
Good video!
When y'all are working off a skid do you take your welding machine off your truck to use or does the company have machines on there for you?
Also I haven't been around a SA 200. Since it is a DC machine, is the plug on the front just for the remote or can you use it for a grinder or other electrical tools?
Some welders will take theirs off and use them but I've also seen rentals be used.
Depends on the contractor, some supply the machines on the sleds while others ask to use the welder's machine off their rig.
Also, you can run tools off the receptacle. Obviously it will have to be designed for DC power.
I'm new to the game. I graduated from school in 2015 and have been dealing with family and personal issues ever since. I done with that mess, and I have been trying to break out....so... How do I do that.
Hi Austin I’m trying to break out as a welder but I can’t seem to get the root pass in on 6g carbon pipe Heeeeelllllp
I see he don’t answer no post never again
Use a couple of reciprocating saw blades to set your gap. Put a 1/16" landing on your bevels. Tack 4 places about 1" long. Set up at 3 Rd gear and 45. Keep your rod pointed at the center of the pipe. Push the rod into the bevels. The flux should rub on the pipe as you go.
Your amazing Austin
Thanks for posting
Have you done any work in West Virginia. Some of the terrain looks familiar.
Somebody below mentioned a ditch box (shoring). My dad referred to his remote as a ditch box. I always wondered why they called a hoosier pole that. Did somebody from Nebraska invent it?
Hoosiers are from Indiana.
I’ve been a machinist or “Shop Hand” most of my life. You either. Make a Hand or you don’t. Means you can either do a great job or not.
I’m also a welder/ fabricator but definitely not a pipeline welder. I have really enjoyed listening to you and learning from you.
A Weed Burner is also known as a Pear Burner because ranchers used to burn the thorns off of prickly pear so their cattle/ goats could eat them during a drought.
Slang from West Texas….
“That man is richer than six foot up a bulls ass”,, lol. Think about it.
Keep up the great job Austin.
Thanks for the great video Bro
I like what you are doing here man! Keep it up!!
a weed burner is just that. sometimes used by Texas ranchers to " burn pear" (prickly pear cactus). This burns the spikes off sufficiently so the cows can eat it. Also, a Tex-Mex dish is napolito, which is prickly pear prepared as a vegetable, with out the spikes of course.
Can you talk about l.a city test for structural steel and 232 flux cord wire?
Does bending the pipe hinder the structural integrity? Is there a max slope they can bend it to?
No it doesn’t. There is a max amount of bend they can put it it. It differs from different sizes of pipe.
I enjoyed this video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
Just so you know I believe it is called a weed burner because the kind a torch use is commonly used in gardening and all that to remove brush and walkways and driveways and that kind of thing
My wife’s grandfather was a welder in the UA in Portsmouth,Va he would drag up so quick they called him “Suitcase Smith”!
Great video and Love all the information
Nice video ya'll sound just like a boilermaker crew.....lol👍
Great video
In Canada the weed burner is called the Tiger torch as Tiger is a popular brand that makes them here.
“Weed burner” is used because in some cropping areas propane burners are used to burn weeds in the row without damaging the crop. A small weed can be burned (killed) without damage to the bigger crop like corn or cotton for instance.
How about your fire axe! Great videos Austin!😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Fire axe is your cutting torch!
In Australia, we just call them a "Hot Axe".
@@scottcarr3264 Thank you sir!
How do you measure the hole to cut when you tie in at a 45?
Welding sled always Ment a muddy mess. Joint/double joint, fittin, sag, skid, PI, doping crew, tie in, Jeep, pancake, stinger. I remember in 09 when I started pipelining I had no clue.
I was told Arkansas bellhole was named after Arkansas because of all the hills on the northwesternish side of Arkansa are all in one way or the other look to be at an angle (°45) but why arkansa and not any other place I have no clue
I want to know what 1G 2G 3G etc means....
Austin what is the brand of leather knee pad that you use - thanks
Tac and hide is who I got mine from. It’s just a guy I know. Idk if he has a website or not. I think he’s got a Facebook page.
You should get a go pro and do a POV weld on some pipe!
Made me laugh about the “itty bitty covered wagon going up the pipe” the welders i worked for as a helper wanted “NO wagon tracks” and we called the torch a “turd burner” they all liked me because I answered the question right on our 1st day on the row...they asked “whats the #1 rule to being a helper?” And i said “the welder is always right” hHa i got picked 1st!!!
Outstanding...
My welder said something about the fire line what’s that?
what is the difference of Gang vs Fusion?
can someone help me?
Sloppin dope. Old slang. I started off in “64 sloppin’ dope. Did that cross country until about “74/“75. Then the outlawed the Berricks enamel (hot door). Miserable (and I mean miserable) stuff to work with. Always had a job though. That was a good reason to get in the operators, because nobody wanted to pull the dope pot. The smoke would just blister you. Now you need to have a full hazmat team to take it off of the pipe. Worked on the pipeline for fifty years. I’m 75 years old and i’m surprised I’m still alive working in that crap. Lost a few friends from melanoma. So far my lungs are doing great. My dad worked in that still for years and got through it too. How did you know if it was bad dope or good dope (asphalt tar)? When you pulled up on the right a way in the winter time in Wyoming and the welders were eating lunch by the pot to keep warm.😅😂🤣
I have a pancake hood that a charter member of,798, his son gave it to me before he passed.
FYI on a side note, the screen shot for this video makes you look like Benny Hill. LOL
Draggin up
Have y done a video on the pipe fitters books?
Not yet.
Nice videos
That intro was funny!
Two Tone,PI,Winch Tractor some more terms for ya!
The side booms are often called 'sidewinders' in the railroad industry.
This is totally off subject but why do you press your shirts and pants so neatly? Is that just personal preference or a requirement?
frankie boykin
I believe it’s so the sparks roll off.
My momma used to hand mix starch, soak my dad’s finesber shirts, levi 501s and welding caps, put them in the freezer overnight then iron them the next day. They would literally stand up on their own. It helps shed sparks. He hardly ever wore leathers. He had one leather sleeve if he was in a bad spot. He was a pipeliner in south texas for 40 yrs. too hot for anything more than a khaki shirt and blue jeans.
Could you please explain exactly what the "right of way" is?
That would be the land that we are allowed to be on for our work, we have right of way which includes temporary workspace. Then easement which is the permanently "purchased" land for the line.
other terms dingleberry, roustabout, and pear burner.
I remember my first pipeline job. Fuck was I lost 😂
I like the term “pimp” for helpers
Can’t forget about survey!!
My favorite word is when a welder sees a bad tiein and he just tells me I GOT IT
"drag up" tank was the term to describe a tank that guys had built in to their rig so they got to drive home on company gas when the job was over.
My favorite words are roustabout and shitslinggers
Ngl I think it would be awesome if you sat down with Andy and did like an interview type deal and just get his story
Magnum! Those guys are my buddies.
Good video 👍
My favorite word was "drag up."
Firing line or draggin up
Dont know how many times IV been talking to ppl that have never been on a right a way. And you always get the same look of massive confusion
My husband says 👍 is his favorite cuz it means time to go to the house 😂
Weed burner- also used for burning weeds that grow between CJs in concrete
051821-----my favorite words is run off or ran off---meaning layoff is payoff about oct or early nov right time of year
arkansas bell hole is supposedly because in arkansas the pipelines are up and down over hills and moutains so its at a 45
I’m usually dragging up because of my 3rd slag line
Stupid question. What are the pipes moving. Gas? Crude?
Natural gas and crude oil most generally.
One bead hand from the promised land is my favorite term!
Actually it's a roofing torch. It was for melting tar in the roofing trade. But yes it's been used to burn weeds, which truthfully it doesn't do a very good job at.
Weed burner got its name from farmers using them to torch weeds also called tiger torch
Just a question but when your welding on pipe do you weld vertical up for more penetration
Nope, all down hand!
Pipeline code calls for downhill. Too much penetration can be a problem. Remember, stuff goes through that pipe.
Downhill is simply for speed. Use it a lot on storage tanks here in UK, althought you get caught welding any pass at all on a pipe butt downhill?... Youd be sacked on the spot
Easier than uphill roots too.
Hey, I work in the mines and you wouldn’t believe the lingo there either!!!
RUN!!!!!!
I've heard Arkansas bell hole came from the hills and mountains in Arkansas mainlines
Don't forget the "goat" on steel tank builds! (automatic welding machine)
Dingle bells, on the rig they have ruff necks. Down hand, suck back. Hot pass, stringer bead. Welding bug.
not a pipe welder but i like the unemployment waggon. thats pretty good. i laughed at that
