After watching this channel I miss welding for a living, and it makes me want to get back into it again. Finished product looks like it was done using sub-arc! Nice job!
Good stuff bro I did this for years in fab shops all production welding on piping. Did some with aluminum backing straps and some open root some on positioners and alot in position from mining draglines to skids.This is a Very good tutorial good job Abraham i wish this was around when I broke out 20 years ago. I had to learn by trial and error and dedication. You young welders absorb this knowledge in welding it will change in every job with different procedures.
I highly respect and honor any welder who will take the time to pass on the trade to other upcoming interested welders because I have worked at some places where no welder would help another one because what one welder knew that others didn't he used it as a means to become top dog but I have worked at other places where welders helped each other everything from reading blueprints to how to perform their task and it worked very well for the overall factory it helped production it helped speed things along and it really added to the quality of the weld. It does not hurt to take time to help another welder you've got to remember there was a time when you as a beginner you needed somebody to help you also and you highly appreciated it when somebody took the time to help you it doesn't pay to be self-centered in life but be a cheerful giver give of your time to help other people and you will be blessed in return. This welding instructor in this video he is actually enriching the lies of other people not only for welders but also their families he's teaching people a trade that will always be in demand and that will help these young men support their families.
Doing the root pass the hard way. I weld asme pipe and vessels all day on different size positioners and we run it down hill, not to mention do a fill pass with flux core then cap it in flux core
I have used duel shield flux core wire for many years in .045 and in 1/16 size. Worm track can be caused by literally just about anything gas issue, air movement, smoke residue on your weld literally anything man. Its such a pain in the ass too because one company i worked at in Sauget IL. Any worm track at all what so ever we had to make a 4-6in repair (grind down to root and reweld). Sucked!
Worm tracks are a form of porosity. So yes, gas related. But, try a SLIGHTLY longer stick-out (stay within the manufacturer's specs) so the flux inside the wire has a chance to preheat a little before it goes into the puddle.
I have a doubt, the root pass always starts from the top to the bottom, but all the passes after the hot pass start from the top to the bottom or from the bottom to the top?
why start handheld? then go to fixed position??? you are able to move the torch, left or right to get side wall penetration??? great vid ! keep up the good work
Please write what parameters you use: -The root was welded at ...volts and .... rpm -Filled pass welded at .... volts and .... rpm -The transition of welding is welded at ... volts and .... rpm, -What is the gap between the pipes, what type of welding wire.
Mine comes out slick except when I tie into the tacks, I will sometimes have a little bit of edge, even though I taper the edges. I'm not sure how to fix this. I seem to be doing it like you. I'm much more comfortable with a stick or TIG root.
One caution.... gripping internally like that.... when the pipe (or flange or whatever it is) heats up from the welding, it will grow, lessening the clamping force holding it on the chuck. Has the potential to fall.
@@nicoliscostanzo2324 If you run a 3/16 gap then yes, a slight wiggling motion is required. I like 3/16 gap on anything I run besides 6010 root. Like I said it's all preference. You can weld something 10 different ways, and still get the same result. So don't say "definitely" as to thats the only way.
Lotta hand movement on the bead pass..... drop the puddle down alittle lower..... and let the puddle just come.... little wiggle here n there as needed...... walking the cup so to speak with wirefeed is way to much work anyways especially on the bead and hot pass........ After the hot pass, push the roll out in the Reverse direction, get comfortable on a stand support and wash it up hand..... sure to have no slag or cold lap..... just my preference.... can fill a lot with wirefeed , I’m just not a fan of rolling it away from me with the FCAW process
Thank you very much. I am wondering if there is any reference for the design of this type of positioner or any kinda commercial version of it that I can take a better look
Watching that root go in was brutal, no need for all that motion. Just aim at the leading edge of your puddle and if your heat is right you’ll consume both sides. Weaving the fill is also too much work. The cap jig was good. If you are doing this all day you will learn not to weave the root or fill. You are young but when you get older and wiser you’ll learn to conserve energy and time. Fab shop is about saving time after all and that weaving just wastes time. I worked in fab shops for years running flux core and have welded thousands of rollies a lot with positioners noisier than yours. lol
If you think running straight stringers over weaving is more time efficient, you must be a horrid weaver. Think about it. You’re making 2 trips opposed to 1. I never in my life have seen someone say liners are faster than braids. Where are you welding lol.
Curious. When you guys switch to flux core are you running dual shield or straight flux core? And is there a reason why you can’t just keep welding with gas like the root pass?
The gun hes using has a gas nozzle, so its dual shielded flux core. As for the process, you can keep welding with solid wire gmaw. All depends on the situation.
Bryan Depiazzy Flux core runs a lot hotter than solid wire. You can’t weld an open root with Fluxcore, that’s why he runs hardwire for the root. Flux core has a very high deposition rate compared to hardwire(MIG), so you weld a lot faster. Thats why he switches over to fluxcore after the root.
Another great and helpful video from Weldtube.....Any suggestions for Flux core Root, fill, and Cap for 6G pipe??? Should we let the pipe cool down between the root and hot pass, or just tick down the settings??
Refer to your wps (welding procedure specification) if you have one. There should be an area that says interpass temperature. This is the maximum temperature between passes. But otherwise a rule of thumb is if you can touch the pipe with a normal tig glove without having to take your hand off because the temperature is to high you can start the next pass.
He holds the trigger down the entire time. What part of this video does it look like he's not maintaining a steady squeeze on the gun. Except when he breaks arc.
Some machines have a trigger hold on and off...and on the machine that don’t have one just make your own ...welding shops are likely to have a broken gun,get the adaptor for the trigger ,extend those two wires ,hook it up on a toggle switch and your off to the races
Love the videos! Most of your equipment is awesome and in great shape, but.... How about doing a little maintenance on the roller!! Chuck's require lubrication.. so does the rest of it. Never had a powered roller, but have done a lot of continuous rotation welding....
@Dan Sega I'm sure they all have real jobs. If you've ever worked shutdowns or new construction, you would know we take breaks for months out of the year. Maybe he's enjoying his time home while helping others learn and making some spending money.

YO MAN!! THAT MACHINE IS SCREAMIN' "OIL ME!! , OIL MEEE!"
Glad to see a great demonstration on how a GMAW/FCAW rollout is performed. I work in a vessel/pipe production shop and love doing these

This is some top class free education. This channel really helping me as a young welder!

The best welding video I've seen. You was straight to the point and the welds all came out perfectly. Great video, I'm a new subscriber now!!
That is slick, makes me miss being in a pipe shop sometimes.
I really learned from that I have a big project where I work at , and this is the first time I'm going to run Mig Wire and flux core shield dual
Holy smokes that was awesome!!! You guys killed it!!
Damn that jig just turned that flux machine to a sub arc machine. First time I see that 👌 well played.
One hot pass and one bead cap with 1/16 wire for me, but this was a great video.
Jesus that cap was BEAUTIFUL!!
Great video - thanks for that - sweet jig for the cap.
Good job Abraham, nice video!
Richard Valcourt thank you.
Thanks brother..we used same methods in beaumont tx at the cb&i shop for our caps...thanks for all the videos
Hey yall have any stickers for my hood??
Chicago Bridge & iron.. worked for them in Lauren's SC.. at a pipe fab shop
Thanks, help me a lot to understand how I weld the pipe
Doing the root pass the hard way. I weld asme pipe and vessels all day on different size positioners and we run it down hill, not to mention do a fill pass with flux core then cap it in flux core
Damn that was a good tutorial 💯 thanks for sharing..... thank you for all the tips and tricks
Why at 24:30 I seen worm tracks what’s a way of fixing that I have yet to find a fix for it
I have used duel shield flux core wire for many years in .045 and in 1/16 size. Worm track can be caused by literally just about anything gas issue, air movement, smoke residue on your weld literally anything man. Its such a pain in the ass too because one company i worked at in Sauget IL. Any worm track at all what so ever we had to make a 4-6in repair (grind down to root and reweld). Sucked!

So yes, gas related.
But, try a SLIGHTLY longer stick-out (stay within the manufacturer's specs) so the flux inside the wire has a chance to preheat a little before it goes into the puddle.
I have a doubt, the root pass always starts from the top to the bottom, but all the passes after the hot pass start from the top to the bottom or from the bottom to the top?
For caping instead of 3beat you can do it weaving by using a loose bolt 🔩 and nut or else using some medium tight spring
abes a really good teacher
About time to do some maintenance on the ol positioner lol. Na but great video!! Love this channel.
I need to fabricate me a couple fluxcore whip holders like you got there . We on some 24" heavy wall!!!!
Tell me how you measured up for that this shop dosent have any kool gadgets like that
Great demonstration and information, thank you.
Why don’t you guys have variable speed footpedal for your positioner?
why start handheld? then go to fixed position??? you are able to move the torch, left or right to get side wall penetration??? great vid ! keep up the good work
Fluxcore 6GR test next!
Looks great im interested in buying
Please write what parameters you use:
-The root was welded at ...volts and .... rpm
-Filled pass welded at .... volts and .... rpm
-The transition of welding is welded at ... volts and .... rpm,
-What is the gap between the pipes, what type of welding wire.
Very nice Abraham!

Welding Engineer in Cypress TX. would love to sit down and chat with yall sometime. Yall are doing great things in our industry. Keep it up!
Yall hiring?
In our shop we hand roll out from root to cap, using .45 wire, fill/cap .45 wire. Esab dual shield. Lincoln hard wire. Lincoln machines. 100% xray.
Can you do a 6inch 6g 6010 root 7018 hot fill and cap?
That what I'm on now open butt joint
Yes sir very commom test people have been asking for months for this tutorial
Weldtube can yall do this tutorial
One caution.... gripping internally like that.... when the pipe (or flange or whatever it is) heats up from the welding, it will grow, lessening the clamping force holding it on the chuck. Has the potential to fall.
No need to wiggle the cup, steady and aim for the leading edge of the poudle. Same exact results.
It's all about preference and what makes you comfortable. Everyone welds different.
Definitely no need on the root lol maybe for the cap but if you have a spray arc you really dont even have to for the cap either
@@nicoliscostanzo2324 If you run a 3/16 gap then yes, a slight wiggling motion is required. I like 3/16 gap on anything I run besides 6010 root. Like I said it's all preference.

Sir , Can you tell me what is best wirespeed and volt for overhead in 6g & 5g position for a newcomar.
With that wire speed are you spraying? It not, do you turn up the voltage and spray?
This dudes a badass, damn carnal tas v3rga vatoooo👏🤝
I prefer sitting and steady constant rolling of the positioner and a hand stand aswell. Cant argue with the results tho.
Nice job ❤.
Thank you very much. I am wondering if there is any reference for the design of this type of positioner or any kinda commercial version of it that I can take a better look
We got a jimmy jammer we use at work same process
Muy buena aplicacion....que mezcla de gas utilizas? De antemano muchas gracias...
Hello, anyone knows how to use lincoln invertec stt II. wire feeder LF74?
A Brahman dime cómo puedo conseguir una careta con las vistas y cubiertas de Cuero color Café .
At 12:10 would that spatter that fell in the puddle cause problems?
No the arc/puddle will burn it completely.
Cool thats good to know!
Hi, what kind of fluxcore wire did you use?
Hi, compliments! THE root pass, do you do with fcaw or gmaw? Thanks
Which brand of helmet bis that?

Think about it.
You’re making 2 trips opposed to 1.
I never in my life have seen someone say liners are faster than braids.
Where are you welding lol.
But why are you rolling it just like TIG WELDING.
Please I need to know. ?
What’s the setting for the cap??
Nice job, first time I've seen it done completely with wire. 😆
What is the width of the root face and gap of the pipe?
Looked like a feathered edge to me. if not rootface must have been 1mm
This positioner can use together with a welding column boom, adding a MIG oscillator , it would be more efficient.
Good video.
Do you all help get a job in pipe shops after finishing the school
Do you use that same movement when you are using flux core?
Should weld 2 quarters. Then grind out bridge tacks. Way i have welded pipe like this.
Weld tube any tips or information on running 3/32nd dual shield fluxcore
Could y’all do a video of short arc all the way out on a roll out wheel?
very nice welding 👌I like to see this👍
This was awsome!
Have you ever had a long run where you were able to just let the rotation of the positioner do most of the work?
Erik Olsson I have all my rotator speed settings written down to suit all pipe sizes and I just let the rotator do the work for me.
Curious. When you guys switch to flux core are you running dual shield or straight flux core? And is there a reason why you can’t just keep welding with gas like the root pass?

Anyone catch that sound? At 2:50 !?🤨
what amp and wire speed you run the fluxcore , flush and cap????
help , i'm about to take a weld test on pipe !!!
It’s all up to how you weld
Good job on that
What kind of hood is that??
Another great and helpful video from Weldtube.....Any suggestions for Flux core Root, fill, and Cap for 6G pipe??? Should we let the pipe cool down between the root and hot pass, or just tick down the settings??

Okay thank you man
Nice root
UK down hand root or cap (stoving) no go over here, don't know why.
How does he keep the mig spraying without holding the trigger?
It's automatic
Squeeze it twice and it'll turn off
He holds the trigger down the entire time. What part of this video does it look like he's not maintaining a steady squeeze on the gun. Except when he breaks arc.
Some machines have a trigger hold on and off...and on the machine that don’t have one just make your own ...welding shops are likely to have a broken gun,get the adaptor for the trigger ,extend those two wires ,hook it up on a toggle switch and your off to the races
Use 4T option
What gap and landing did you use?
No landing on rollout
14:30 OMFG FILTHY FRANK IS BACK !!
same method i use at exterran 👍
Love the videos! Most of your equipment is awesome and in great shape, but.... How about doing a little maintenance on the roller!! Chuck's require lubrication.. so does the rest of it.
Never had a powered roller, but have done a lot of continuous rotation welding....
En Que escuela estas
I run my root in an A position
If you don’t have one of these machines to roll your pipe , use a chain wrench
Great video , and I would have love. To go too that school . It like they work more with their students.
YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR FLUX CORE DOWN HILL!!!!! Come on!!! That's welding 101!!!
Good shit👍🏾
I'd have to try and get the rotator s speed to match my rate of travel
I was told you can do a fill n cap In one pass if your good enough at it there's no rules against it at school
At work we do it in one pass
that is a self centering chuck no need to tighten all 3 points
Good job kid
Dam great job
Goodjob
I like this one
awsome vid
What happen to the other guy. ?
@Dan Sega I'm sure they all have real jobs. If you've ever worked shutdowns or new construction, you would know we take breaks for months out of the year. Maybe he's enjoying his time home while helping others learn and making some spending money.
@Dan Sega Anytime bud!
wow so nice bro i like it’s
Can y'all do a video for a 6gR flux root fill and cap
Flux root?
Great video , and I would have love. To go too that school . It like work with students.
