Great video, wider gaps are seriously undervalued by a lot of welders. Worked in many 100% x-ray projects with great efficiency , 4-5 mm gap was always the way. keep it up brother
Good looking weld bud. I wanted to add one thing, the "color" does matter. There shouldn't be any color other than a straw gold. No blues, purples, ect., color is the outer layer oxidizing thats why we brush it off it will rust, all those colors is a sign that there was too much heat in it. This doesn't always matter on every job but color is not good and any QC I have ever had will make you brush it off. Good weld though 👌
What do u think about running your amps at 120 or 130 for the root? I don't mean to go full pedal at those amps just to have extra in case you need it.
How do you feed the wire? Do you use only thumb finger? You lean your hand on pipe or its floating in the air? You lean on tacks or bevel to avoid wire shaking? Thanks
How come the shot of your root 0:42 is the same root run from 2G video faults and all? Is this the standard they except in the USA I should go there and would make a killing, If welding to Australian standards I should be able to charge a boss $100+/h. Another question, If at work and using pipe stands why not rotate the job to be at optimal position at all times if not in fixed position?
Hi ! Sch 10 you really don't need a gap,(other then to fit the pipe square and level )to weld it because the pipe is so thin you can just turn up you heat and melt the two bevels together if you want .
honeslty i dont know brother ...thats a good video idea tho..i usually just feel it with my finger as long as i feel pressure..and when you close the root you should turn it down you should barely feel it
You are a seasoned pipe welding sir This is way to advance for some new welders I wouldn't recommend back feeding with gap that large especially on Stainless to someone still learning.
Stainless steel should not have colour having colour on your weld means you're burning out the alloys that are joined to give stainless steel its compound ability to resist rust to high of a heat will burn out the chromium oxide so you need to set it at a mild working current which helps you to stay withing the heat range to protect the stainless metal
not necessarily i can control if i get colour by adjusting the aragon on my purge ..i work for alot of chemical plants and i never had them say they had a problem with colour cause of corrosion
Yeah different places have different rules ..all the chemical plants I worked at let you choose what you want ... last job I was at we had a lot of 40” heavy wall stainless and we all had 1/4 gaps

What type of grinding pad did you use to clean the stainless before welding it?
Learning stainless now im school but what's something to recommend for beginners?
Hey man great job I really love the way you explain your methods I’m really learning a lot from your channel please keep the videos coming .
Thanks bro the feedback bro ...motivates me to keep on pushing
Great video, wider gaps are seriously undervalued by a lot of welders. Worked in many 100% x-ray projects with great efficiency , 4-5 mm gap was always the way. keep it up brother
A lot of QCs won’t allow a 1/4” lol
3mm gap for me if am doing stainless I put a 4mm gap in because soon as you start welding gap ends up 3mm anyway
Thx bro haven’t done stainless in a while this was def a good reminder!!
Sick beat best new welding channel on youtube
Thanks Bro.....I just weld on my farm equipment but the tips make me look like a pro......Saludos from El Chuco
gracias bro
Might start using bigger gaps looks fun, I use a wedge to stop pipe shrinking at the moment
yeah i like big gaps because i rather backfeed i dont like to key hole i only use 1/8 gap when im doing roll outs
When opening the gap with the grinder, are you ready beveling it as well. Or just using a 1/8 grinding rock and just pushing through

Thanks for making this video.
Ive been struggling doing 16" sch 10.
Helped alot thanks
When your rooting it are you going way up the bevels, is that why it’s almost flush. And do you advice to go a good ways up the bevel on schedule 10
I love it bro appreciate the time you put into your videos! Do you cut your tacks out or can you leave them in without sugaring them??
woww nice overhead root pass keep on vlogging bro,,
How do you feed the wire? Do you use only thumb finger? You lean your hand on pipe or its floating in the air? You lean on tacks or bevel to avoid wire shaking? Thanks
Missed opportunity to Show how to fix the over penetration on the root by grinding it out. There's not many videos of how to fix fuck ups.

What is purging rate
Did you walk the cup
What size cup was that?
Hi ! Sch 10 you really don't need a gap,(other then to fit the pipe square and level )to weld it because the pipe is so thin you can just turn up you heat and melt the two bevels together if you want .
Doesn't work on a positional unless you used pulse and put your amps about 150-155
@@ryanmcguinness7898 yup , on a roller it’s possible to archive full fusion with no gap with low sch , but on a tuff position it’s better to have gap
What welding lense u have on ur hood
It's a good video just let your weld cool off so when you cap it it comes out with a nice color
I love your videos bro every step is well explained thank you
Glad you like them!
Ol combo hand here. Solid info! Let's see what you got on that Duplex though 😏
great welder love his vids
thanks man!
What argon regulator do you use bro?
Great job. How much Cfh do you purge your pipe?
honeslty i dont know brother ...thats a good video idea tho..i usually just feel it with my finger as long as i feel pressure..and when you close the root you should turn it down you should barely feel it
They didn't care about the very large reinforcment on the root?
Is it sch10? Whats the thickness in mm?
Use a figure eight cap

True I have to agree with that a bigger gap mite be hard for newbies 👌
u forgot to say thats not 316 but great video for the new guys make some more okay
Who ya working for man? Not too much tig up here in wv
out here in houston bro tig and stick is big out here since they have alot of chemical plants
TheWeldLab damn man, I’ve been on the combo side for a bit after I came from pipeline work. Any suggestions on companies?
@@Pipewelder00 no bro everything is shut down due to the virus im waiting on a call now to go back to work

I need help on stainless root, sometimes it comes out blue even thoe the purge monitor shows its completly purged and has no oxygen inside the pipe.
the color doesnt matter a long as it shoots and looks uniform ...
Nice job 👍🏼
Thanks for the visit
All the pipe certs I’ve taken have welding procedures.. 3/16 to 1/4 gap fails you. Love the videos tho
Yeah different places have different rules ..all the chemical plants I worked at let you choose what you want ... last job I was at we had a lot of 40” heavy wall stainless and we all had 1/4 gaps
Nice bro. 🇮🇩🔥
I really fuck with yourcontent bro
Or let it cool off real good before starting again
❤
5:59 ... Not cool
1/4"gap is way to much
no its not ....everyone had there own style ....ben doing this for 10 years
Gap thicker than material wow. Thats alot of filling
I dont want to hate on this guy... but that's not how you weld stainless.
oh ya well how would you do it there hotshot?
Very nice this video excellent #khanbiharguru
