Bro you guys are very professional, especially Marvin he speaks very well and explains in detail. I am a metal fabricator but planning on moving forward and learning new things, I recently applied for a position of pipe fitter helper, it would be an honor and great learning experience if I ever work with people like you guys, thanks for the video.
Excellent video, all these techniques I used, so I know you definitely know what you're doing. Also this video shows how important it is to have a great fitter and welder relationship
Hi guys! Greetings from Russia! I'm the one of thoses who makes these ISOs and I'm exited of looking you doing your job. Could not stop watching. Always interesting in shop and field activities. You doing great job! Thanx
Jackson yea,you know what I hate is when I'm laying something out using the one inch Mark and make my part of parts forgetting to drop and inch. Done that a few times for sure
Pro tip to find the take off for a long radius 90 if you don’t know already. Multiply your pipe diameter by 1.5. I’d recommend getting a pipe trade pro calculator as well. That thing has so many different functions on it.
Something is better than nothing, Thanks to the guys who share their experience and knowledge. Remember technology is always getting advance day by day.
1988/89 l done my Pipe Fabricator trade test...back then no you tube! So this is a great help for rookies🙂. I gave it up in 1994 went back to Technical college. Now l work in a design office as a Piping and Layout Draughtsman,Generating Piping General Arrangements,P&IDs,Isometric drawings etc. I still started on the Drawing board,now l work with AutoCAD. Better €$£ 💘😎
I'm a class 1 welder in the UK and pipe fitter. The way you fab this is so much more detailed than what we would do. I've never used a square to level a bend for instance 🤣 (we just level the face of the bend to the pipe) bit I like the square technique.
@@JavierAldoMacedo He says he has 10 years experience. Where I come from it looks like about a week and he doesn’t do it right. He also said flanges weld up to another piece of pipe🤣😂🥲
Field welders are good in every position angle and weld in many bad uncomfortable areas where as shop welders either weld in jack stands or use a roller lol which takes alot less skill
He tacked the flange on the inside, should have been the outside ... no roll out welds? and it’s a raised face not razorfaced . They bolt up ,they aren’t “welded “ to pumps or other flanges .
That pipe fighter would have to weld too . He'd work a welder like dumbass Victor to death. My grandma could fit better than that she was blind in one eye and couldn't see how the other
Currently learning how to fit pipe, the more I learn and practice, the more Im loving it. My instructors make us fit pipe and also tack it, learning from these old timers who have been fitting for 25+ years is something else.
@@frankie9660 I noticed that too. And who builds carbon steel pipe assemblies with Tig? Ain't nobody got time for that. Bro needs to bust out with some .045 fluxcore. lol
Straight out of welding school, passed my first bend test and was offered a 1st Welder position. I've got 1 week to cram before my first day on the job. This video has got me pumped to work with fitters and start welding like Victor.
I just want to thank you as well as the other instructors in these videos for what you all are doing and helping someone with a very rusty memory like mine who has been away from pipe fitting and the plant and refinery life. It's been 3 years since I've done that type of work because I've been doing Active Duty missions as a Reservist the whole time and shifted my focus. If I don't get selected for another Active Duty mission next go round, I'll be back doing that this type of work. So....I will definitely be watching more of y'all's training videos and taking notes and preparing. Again it's definitely appreciated!
I don't know if its a loss in translation, but its called "Raised Face" flange not Razor face. As in, there is a "raised" ring around the inside, as opposed to a "Flat Face" flange. The difference is that on things like pumps, strainers, valves, etc that are cast or made of a soft metal, the torque from bolts and the 1/4" gap on a raised face flange joint would bend and deform the flange, so flat faced flanges solve that problem. The reason why every flange isn't flat faced though is that raised face flanges focus the torque on the bolts to the gasket area of the flange, ensuring a tighter seal.
At 7:24, you have really have to make sure that the long side of the square on the left is on contact with both walls of the elbow, otherwise, it doesn't give you any information (everything will always be square if there is no contact). Just like two points are always aligned, and three points are always co-planar
thank you guys for putting these vids up its really helped an inspiring pipe fitter to understand the basics and helpfull tips for the feild or fab shop
21:33 you say the measurements out loud but end up tacking the wrong side. Point being other 2 guys also heard the same information and didn't correct you, it's a good lesson for apprentices/ helpers/ welders to actively be helping and not go on auto pilot and just go with whatever it is the lead man says and to speak up when you think a mistake is made or you have a question. Also I'm not trying to give you shit cause we all fuck up but more for helpers to pay attention and have our backs. Keep up the good work
They were doing a good job showing how to read and lay out a run. They did not show having to grind out the tack at 21.33 if they did not catch their mistake before tacking it. You are right it should have been tacked on the other side first. Some welder and fitter that work shut downs at oil refineries travel in pairs because they know how to work together to get the work done. The powers to be at a oil refinery I worked at for 32 years decided to cut the fitters pay to save money. One welder/fitter team that worked our S/D for maybe 12 years along with other welder/fitters teams did not show up for the S/D. The S/D ran long and the powers to be could not understand why it ran long because of the piping crews fell behind??????? Good pipe welding and fitting teams can always find work, you don't screw with one or the others pay and expect to get production. Bean counters are a dime a dozen, always trying to cut someone else pay to make them look good. Then they decided to cut the pipe welders pay also. Then the shit really hit the fan, pipe welders that could not go without busting weld x-rays that meant we had to go back and x-ray every weld they made on the S/D plus clearing all workers out of the x-ray shots areas. we went from working two 12 hour shifts for everyone to working two 10 hour shifts to get all the extra x-rays in. You get what you pay for. Just glad I am retired now and don't have to answer to bean counters!!!
Where I'm from the welders are the fitters ,it's good to learn to fit . Other welders come here and they are used to the fitters tacking everything up for them,they don't always make it.
I’m a fitter and one of my good friends is my foreman a lot on jobs and when we got to a town we were working in last year we were kinda drunk cleaning out our toolboxes, and decided to check the level on all the stair rails and handrails, the floor of the hotel bedroom, inside cabinetry, walls ect! Lmao! Upstairs and downstairs bedrooms floors all were almost a whole bubble out slipping down to the door to go outside the motel. Our only hypothesis was that it did that if a sprinkler in the room went off because of fire, water would flow right out the door to outside (motel) instead of sitting still on bedroom floor and destroying floor beneath it or downstairs the walls around the room if it wasn’t sloped. Our drunk asses really thought we figured out some coool ass engineering shit that night all proud of ourselves! 🤦🏻♀️
You are good at teaching my friend,so I want to learn and increase my knowledge as a pipe fitter,i learned a lot from your vlog and I'm also your subscriber from #🇵🇭
Awesome video I'm 2 months in on Pipe fitting/tac welding I do both here in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 than after I check the overall I send the pipe to the welder. I'm learning on the job plus TH-cam and Tic tok
Great video!!! I can tig-stick-fcaw pipe etc but I can't fit worth a damn!! I'm trying to get into an apprenticeship just to learn how to do this. thanks for sharing guys
I have always put on uniform lands and always fit high low to top of land . you can not fit to O.D. of pipe to O.D. of fitting because a lot of times fittings will not be the same O.D. as the pipe or maybe other fittings . Uniformity of land is key . In a production shop one would fit to roll out welds . You want to weld as few welds in position as possible . A good fitter and welder can make magic in a day
7 Steps to help and also be more efficient: 1. Get a good pipe fitters book. The UA has a good blue book, the black pipe fitters and welders handbook by (Thomas Franklin) and the red pipe fitters book IPT's Pipe Trades Handbook by (Robert A. Lee) are great ones to have in your toolbag/box. A great investment that will last a lifetime 2. Get a welding rod and bend the spool or section of spool to build as a reference. Helps visualize the direction of 90s and offsets. 3. If possible build in sections and roll-out as much as possible. Alot faster and easier. You also eliminate the chance of busting out. You also reduce your in position welding to a minimum. 4. Use angle iron or channel and chain clamps for lining up 90s, flanges, reducers, pipe to pipe, etc (90% of the time the high/low will be spot on. If not then you can fit like they are and spit the difference. 5. If you can make a 90 degree jig/fixture for using chain clamps. I have a unistrut jig for 2", 3" channel for 3-4" pipe. Have the channel scribed so I know where the 90 needs to sit. 6. Using a long straight edge (4') vs a square helps on long runs to ensure it is square. 7. Keeping a variety of spacing shims and a wedge in you toolbag to help square. A sawzall blade (1/16"-5/64") works great for 2" pipe, V welding rod for 1/8"-5/32" gap.
@@jenniferasbury8556 I personally am an oilfield pipe fitter (non-union), but have work with/along UA pipe fitters from time to time. The one UA in NM is 412 but when I worked in CA I worked with alot of apprentices that were my helpers out of the 114. Thats where I was shown the UA book. I learned from the Thomas Franklin black book, Spears Blue Book, and Nation Pipe Trades (NPT) red book.
Dat is awesome. Thanks, where I've been working companies now want a person to do 4 jobs n one. Like fabrication, fit, weld, and bolt up. Just 1dering if can do it by ur self
Ive had busts before on some of those concentric reducers. Sometimes the inside is almost like a false bevel and it throws a shadow on x-ray. The weld might be just fine but that false bevel shows up on film so make sure to take it out/transition!
Been in Pipefitting for a year mainly doing Bolt up welders helper, Spark watch. But wanting to learn more and actually do well in my trade. I am currently in (CANADA) and would love to here some advice or books that I could get. Also love the tutorials/Help videos helps me out alot.
I mean this is a good video but the easiest way to fit a 90 is definitely tacking the sides first and then squaring it but i guess it’s all preference. Love the videos!
Yo quiero hacer eso, está bien rifadote, me gusta mucho la soldadura y estoy aprendiendo en la herrería de mi papá,. Sus videos me inspiran para seguir y estudiar eso jaja salu2
When I show up on a projectsite and get asked these questions I go home. Because if these questions have to be asked they don't know who I actually am: A fitter with 32 years of experience. I don't have to work, I am there because I want to. Needs to be said: no longer fitter but workpreparator.
I really enjoyed this video and it’s helping me out a lot and assisting me in understanding how to be a better pipefitter. But I have one question when you getting your flange square with the pipe if your first measurement closest to the 90 was 7 1/16 and your measurement furthest from the 90 was 7 inches shouldn’t you have tact the far side instead of the one closest to you in order to make your 7 to 7 1/16?
Poor old welder now has 5 positional welds to negotiate as apposed to one with the others rolled. Opps did I let the cat out the bag. In my years of experience most welders wouldn't want to work with a fitter that makes this much hard work.
@@Ruben901 very true but why make your workmates day hard work as opposed to a regular work. Seriously in the real world this isn't good practice, take it from a pipefitter welder 38 years in.
@@lawrencecanney3137 Where i worked you would be fired for not giving the welder the maximum number of roll welds, then welds that can be flipped over, then the minimum number of position welds possible. Roll welds are more productive and tend to be higher quality, and production is what it's all about. Also putting the level on the side of the 90 degree elbow showed absolutely nothing without a fitting on the other end of the pipe. Conclusion: the fitter is a clown.
Hey guys I need help. I’m about to graduate this year but I don’t know if I should join the union or take a 10 month course at Tulsa welding school for pipefitting. Would I get payed more later on if I join the union or would the pay be same if I took the 10 month course? Which would lead me to a more “comfortable” life later on?

Looked at 7:24 and with my eyes it is touching both sides, just have to look real close with the video frozen.

I have always put on uniform lands and always fit high low to top of land . you can not fit to O.D. of pipe to O.D. of fitting because a lot of times fittings will not be the same O.D. as the pipe or maybe other fittings . Uniformity of land is key . In a production shop one would fit to roll out welds . You want to weld as few welds in position as possible . A good fitter and welder can make magic in a day
Everything made sense up until the last measurement and which way it needed to move.
The flange is 150# Raised face flange, not raiser face. The gap should be based on your weld procedure.
Please do more pipe basics fitting thank u with levels and plumb bobs u are very helpful thank u.

You can if you got the tools and equipment needed but ALOT HARDER by yourself sometimes impossible to fit and keep it fit while tacking

awesome video..more pipe fitting / fabrication videos
Its time for the pipefitters to shine ol' boy 😎
More videos like this great job.
Very useful video sir
Thank you sir❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice... cant wait to come down for your pipe welding class. Pass my 3g open root and get in there...
Good 👌
If its for the hall its 6g
When I show up on a projectsite and get asked these questions I go home. Because if these questions have to be asked they don't know who I actually am: A fitter with 32 years of experience. I don't have to work, I am there because I want to. Needs to be said: no longer fitter but workpreparator.
32 years not being able to weld😂
I really enjoyed this video and it’s helping me out a lot and assisting me in understanding how to be a better pipefitter. But I have one question when you getting your flange square with the pipe if your first measurement closest to the 90 was 7 1/16 and your measurement furthest from the 90 was 7 inches shouldn’t you have tact the far side instead of the one closest to you in order to make your 7 to 7 1/16?
He fucked up, thats why. Notice how there wasnt any footage of it afterwards. Good eye!
i thought the same
Should have tacked the other side of the flange first. I've made that same mistake before that's why I use two big squares.
Muy buenos el tubería y el soldador, saludos desde Valladolid España 👏👏
Poor old welder now has 5 positional welds to negotiate as apposed to one with the others rolled. Opps did I let the cat out the bag. In my years of experience most welders wouldn't want to work with a fitter that makes this much hard work.
You can tell the cry babies from the real welders if you give them position welds
@@Ruben901 very true but why make your workmates day hard work as opposed to a regular work. Seriously in the real world this isn't good practice, take it from a pipefitter welder 38 years in.
@@lawrencecanney3137 Where i worked you would be fired for not giving the welder the maximum number of roll welds, then welds that can be flipped over, then the minimum number of position welds possible. Roll welds are more productive and tend to be higher quality, and production is what it's all about. Also putting the level on the side of the 90 degree elbow showed absolutely nothing without a fitting on the other end of the pipe. Conclusion: the fitter is a clown.
Hey guys I need help. I’m about to graduate this year but I don’t know if I should join the union or take a 10 month course at Tulsa welding school for pipefitting. Would I get payed more later on if I join the union or would the pay be same if I took the 10 month course? Which would lead me to a more “comfortable” life later on?
Nice explanation
tq for your info very helpful 👍
Victor being the real MVP here
Video is fuego bro
Awesome guys! That's one expensive demo!!
Without the handy dandy book, how to calculate the take off of a long or short radius elbow? Thanks.
