    Great video Men! I'm 42 years of age. Had my priorities all screwed up in my late teens and twenties...clean up until I was thirty three. The high school I attended shut the weld shop down two years before I got there. Huge weld shop...30 foot ceiling, a dozen weld booths...just sat there. Kids vandalized everything. Smoked ciggs in the booths. Cut up cords and hoses...I wonder sometimes about how many lives were pissed away due to a decision made by alleged authorities to "save" money...and who is this "dollar" ?? And why are we trying so hard to "save" him??? You guys ...please keep on teaching! We need more like you three. Willing to pass along knowledge. Happy welding!

      I'm in steamfitters local 475 Newark NJ but in the hvac division for the last 29 years I bought a cheap welder a few years ago an this year I started teaching myself to stick weld at 53 years old and I love it I do love being an hvac technician so I'm not changing careers but I really enjoy welding in my yard. I work for a huge mechanical contractor and we have a full fab shop with everything for welding

    Best explanation & demo of the best & proper way to perform a layout & fit up, for a Pipeline Branch Test! If these youngsters can’t grasp the concept of how to go about implementing & practicing the proper way on taking a Branch Test…..Then they have ABSOLUTELY NO BUSINESS, doing so! I wish I would have had this process laid out & explained to me, this clearly from the jump! Would have saved me a ton of time & heartbreak/heartache in the beginning! Great job guys! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🏆

  • @jeffsmith3941
    @jeffsmith3941 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Excellent video. Here is a little trick. When you get your hole cut in the runner some people might call this the header portion of the branch, clean it up and get it all shiny. Then for one final step take a cone grinder and radius the inside of the cut (the portion of the edge where your bead needs to tie into on the inside of the pipe). By making a radius on this it will all but guarantee you a full penetration root pass because it won’t allow visible edges to remain. A big bust (fail the weld test) for welders is when the inspector can see edges on the inside. If you radius the edge you leave no square edges to for the inspector to see. This might be hard to understand but just ask and I’ll try to clear it up.
