All the times that I've been x-rayed I've never got to see this process and this makes me feel a whole lot better take the edge off of things knowing this thanks for sharing this
I got the chance to hang out with QC and X-Ray guys early in my welding career. I really believe it helped me to be a better welder faster. Mostly because the uncertainty of what they were looking for, and understanding the tolerances, helped me to just relax and weld. Your doing a great service to all of us, with your content. Really appreciate it, Thank You.
My daughter graduates HS in May, and is enrolled in Western Welding Academy in Gillette, Wyoming in August. We watch your vids together, regularly, and very much enjoy the entertainment and education…. Thanks for your channel and content.
@ I feel ya! I’m a combo welder. I have done it with an iPhone and turning the darkness down and by filming through a lens. Anyway good content brother!
It 🎉emember me in the 70’s when am start doing pipe in mexico we call “linerieros” in that time congrats don’t fell better than others is the best thing
@@chente5365 ijole pues esta complicado explicar eso.. El botón de arriba es nadamas no abultarlo..

😄👍 man.. here's an example.. My dad is a guitar pro, and for me, looking at him playing is crazy. It is impossible for me😄 I told him the same thing! "You make it look so easy"... everybody has a talent because of so many years of practice.. that's all it is man
Noob question, I know... Why bother starting at a lower amperage and then increase it? Always seemed to work better, for me, starting at a higher amperage and then decreasing it (easier starts).
In the beat? I actually decreased the amps when i started the beat.. it was a little bit too hot, but it worked out pretty well..I always set my machine on 65 but it was a little cold morning and this SA-200 tend to be a little hot in the mornings.. should have put it on 60 amps to start
Man, the sun fills good in winter.. that morning was cold, and i rather have my hands flexible and not freezing where you can't move them, lol! Anyway its all good 😉 On the X-rays procedure? not sure, I didn't even ask what procedure they were using..
El David es mi cuñado y el Alejandro mi carnal bro te reconoci en un video anterior k subiste y le comente a mi cuñado y dijo k simon es mi compa aqui jala conmigo haha que chido los videos saludos 👍🏽
I don't think so because they have to turn in every film of each weld to the company that hires them, so I don't think they are going to put their jobs on the line just for a bad weld.. just think about it.. imagine a bad weld blows up, they are going investigate who did that bad weld and also who X-ray that weld.. that's the whole point of X-ray, to prove that every weld is going to hold that pressure
@@gustavojr841 I was thinking more of flunking a good weld with the hope of taking more pictures and making more money. Like a factory where they think more will attempt the test if they fail a few. I was involved where this was pondered by me and the company I worked for. They wouldn't return the coupon or show the pass or fail. The coupon due to radiation but why not show the fail?
@@johndoe43 X-ray hands hate doing things twice prolly more than anyone else. Every time that source of radiation goes out of the shielded position in the exposure device is a time it might not come back in to the shielded position. Precautions are always take. And equipment inspected but it happens from time to time. When it does happen it’s beyond a paper work and government involving nightmare to deal with and would shut down the whole work site for hours.

Thank you guys for watching!! Nice that your daughter likes to weld!! Keep it up! Welding is a good career!
Thanks for sharing that process. Helps to have a better understanding of the Xray process.
I have never welded on pipeline. Thanks for the vid, it was awesome to see the xray procedure.
Very nice weld. Like your style. Blessing brother from Nederland.
I’m tryin to get back on the line Gus. Been 8 years so I’m rusty. Around what setting are capping with 5’s? 80?? Keep in up Primo
What's up Cody!😀 Yes, it should of been around 85.
Thank you! Appreciate the video!
You should make a video showing how you make those fat ripples! Beautiful work!
@trevorwright3769 Thank you man! I wish I could show you guys with a good Arc welding camera.. it's just hard to record that..

Awesome video

What rod are you burning for that root ?
I use 1/8 5p+ for the root
Good job 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️
Good job sir I aspire to have welds like yours one day.
Does your pancake lens flash when you grind?
Yes, a little bit.. I have the sensitivity set on 0, so it gives me a little chance to see while grinding
Where did you get that pancake hood?
I actually built it myself.. You can go se my other videos on my Channel.. Thanks for watching 😉
Como Le hago pa que me salga el boton asi

Where’d you get that hood?
I actually built it myself.. You can go see one of my previous videos. Is about me making one of those pancake hood with big lens
How do you make it look so easy haha. trying to get just like you brother!

They all pass? Did anyone bust out?
I know of three guys who didn't pass 😬
@@gustavojr841 That's too bad
Bon Boulo 😆😆👍👍
Is this Midland?
This is north of Odessa
@@gustavojr841 I’m down here from Wyoming doing some work for Granite Peak Fabrication. I just guessed where it was.
You can tell because of this beautiful terrain 😄
I forgot. Did you give the x-ray guy a 100 or 200?😅😅😅
🫣😂😂😂😂
Sun in your eyes get that pipeline cloud up especially on a Re-qual…… this an API 1104 re-qual ?

Y’all need any helpers?
We do need helpers man! But this company doesn't let us hire any
Ever suspect the x ray guys of cheating ?

They sale a flip lens pancack I have one works great
Seen those, they ay great when you have to grind! Just flip it and grind without turn dark while you grind
