I paid for the a/c in my truck I’m using it.
What a cutie pie
What I found living in Tennessee. Take your shirt off, dunk it in a bucket of water and put it back on. It keeps your body temperature cooler so you don't get as much fatigue and a lot less heat sickness after the fact.
I grew up here in Texas (111 degrees often ish) and I’m still here. I’ve got my family’s ranch that I work on so the heat isn’t an issue to much. But I’m doing welding after high school so this video is a good refresher on what I should be doing if I can’t hop in the truck from time to time.
I'm going to welding school in July so this video helped a ton I plan on buying a jacket and pants from Mac before school
I work in an aluminum smelter as a maintenance mechanic . Its 450 degrees F on the running aluminum pots . But in my past I was a pipe welder and boiker tube welder and CWI . So I did the traveling construction / outage lifestyle . Lots of water , beach umbrella for shade when possible or a tarp ( emergency space blankets are awsome ). Acclimation to heat is key.
50-75 *C No:5 Blast furnace reline Australia, gas monitor would go off and you got out for 10 mins or so every couple of hours .
I think that was the hottest.
Working inside a ships hold on a 40 *C day and it was 44 *C inside the hold sucked, 12 hr shifts.
But i worked with good people and it was a good learning experience.
145 degrees in a power plant scrubber, a few hours after the plant was shut down.. Working as a laborer, cleaning out the ash so that the boilermakers could weld. Experiences like that are just one of the many reasons I’m getting into welding. I’d much rather be a fitter and be semi-comfortable than be the first one in a boiler cleaning and sandblasting it, and then afterwards listen to the boilermakers complain about how dirty their job is. But honestly all the credit goes to them; Watching them brother-in-law water wall and weld with a mirror really inspired me. I’ve watched some insanely skilled boilermakers and fitters, but from what I’ve seen, fitters have a brighter future.
115 in southern New Mexico but not as hot as 98 in Houston... then there was 130ish in a plastic plant replacing heater plates. The bandana on the neck is a life saver too
Summer '05 Vegas, South Point Casino, the ballroom/showroom no air movement was about 129 F inside there. It had it's own cloud from the vapor of every one's sweat, humidity was pretty high in there. So working on fan coils it was miserable up there in a scissor lift.
That sweating in a long sleeve idea really works, that's the same reason I wear only long sleeves even in the summer time. I find it helps me, especially for keeping the sun off of me.
Working as a welder in a mostly machine shop in BC Canada. It was 36 outside, 42 inside with all the huge lathes mills running and I was cutting up old equipment with a torch.
I picked up wearing heavy denim long sleeve shirts and jeans from the south Florida cowboys I grew up with. Keep the sun off you and let a little sweat come through and you'll be way better off at the end of the week.
106 in south Texas doing septic! Hopefully gonna hire out to the pipeline in a week! If not I’m taking my ass to Midland or Odessa and finding the work! 👊
Thanks...from the Philippines...tropical country...
Right on brother
after watching your videos I have purchased a pancake welding hood. I weld mostly on farm equipment on our farm. the pancake hood is very comfortable and practical. I have a friend who is a pipeline welder. I think I might try in the future to beak out as a helper I am not afraid to humble myself and be an assistant. I like to learn new skills. i am pretty good at grinding. thank you for the videos they have inspired me to follow my dream and become a welder.
That’s great to hear. I’m glad the videos have been helpful. Thank you for sharing.
112 and 80% humidity in Syracuse Kansas in the back end of a combine pulling sieves and the Chaffer frame out of it to replace shaker arms and weld broken parts of the chaffer frame back together
100°+ in Texas, they have special towels that are for ur neck and stay super cool and u can flip it and right away feel the cool. U can keep flipping it and all u do is dump it and ice or cold water. The wind cools the opposite side that was already used. My mother used one at her job before she tired
44c in Australia. Out in the sun all day no shade to be seen anyway.
62c alberta in a tank.
But i wear cool shirt plug into a refrigerated cooler for a laser.
Or there ice cooled back pack .
John Deer umbrella for a side swather mounted to a switch magnet , so sweet in the shaped .
Hottest temp was 105 outside and 140 inside the boiler room we were working in. We didn’t stay inside welding much. We would weld for 5-10 min then we were outside for 15-20min. tying to cool off. It was a union pipe fitting job.
115 F. I wasn't welding but I was working in central Oregon as a landscaper. We were digging irrigation trenches with no shade.
About 110 in a Dallas Spud warehouse processing plant ( All Aircon ventilation was off being serviced ), But the biggest savior was having 3M Speedglas 9100X FX Welding Helmet Hood With an Adflo Filtering Respirator, This set up blows filtered air down across your face , Adflo also do a hood with a vortex compressed air cooling system, you connect compressed air to the unit ( these in can get cold enough too freeze water ) , and it ducts that super cooled air to your helmet and down over your face, I would say look into them but they are spendy
105°f in Florida August on a roof , deck was 135° or more....for two weeks
we call are tent a hooch . great video
On top of drinking lots of water I use a one gallon jug so I can see how much water I’m drinking. Also drinking emergenC or B12 helps with keeping your body energized.
Try being a welder in west Texas during the summer time
RANDY nah were good. Come up North instead feel the cool AC
Van Texas man, I'm from Wisconsin and you guys are crazy to live/work in Texas. Was there for 12 days on a install. I'll stick to our 90 degrees for 3 days and that's it lol.
RANDY southeast New Mexico. You don’t just get the 105 degree weather but you also get the 30mph winds lol
Doing it in South Louisiana near the bayous and swamps. I feel ya.
@@eloyleyva I'll gladly take the wind over 115 degrees with 0mph wind.
2015 Summer in Glendale, AZ on the Casino Roof installing chill water and cooling towers @ 118... maybe 108 with 60% humidity at 0900
126 degrees in downtown phoenix. Helping my grandfather with landscaping
Greetings from the good old south .Mississippi 🔥
i have always liked the Dickies khaki work shirts, they are not FR but i dont get burned much at all so its just for arc light protection. pouring water on my shirt keeps me cool when its real hot but luckily it never gets too bad where i am, it gets muggy though.
If available I sometimes put one or 2 icecubes under my cap. When it is super hot you'll not even have any dripping on your neck area.
Trona ca 120° three summers ago at the mineral plant
i've been welding for 11 years but my perfence on welding hoods is a fleep hood keeps me cool year round
Carl Scarborough Jr what is a fleep hood? Never heard of those
115°, Tennessee Eastman. I was over top of a furnace in the summer. As long as I didn't look down, my glasses wouldn't get covered with sweat. They have those coolbands now that swell when in contact with cold water. They look like a bandanna. Plenty of water before work helps.
im from jefferson city. small world buddy.
I hope to do quite a bit of welding this summer with my everlast stick welder. Your ideas on clothing has been very helpful.
Water cool t-shirts and a Laser cooler, works great
110 with 100% humidity in Puerto Rico. Full sun working on tin roofs, one of the local workers fell off from heat stroke.
105-110 in the welding shop attached to a manufacturing facility. North east Texas. Like its so hot when you grab a random piece of metal it feels hot enough to start burning you
It was only about 95-100° day but was welding on bulkhead with heater bars which made the bulk head about 200° so the radiating heat was rather toasty
i wasnt welding when this happened, but I was working on my buddy's property laying some concrete and it hit 127 and it was July. this was in Havasu, az
125 degrees in the Mojave desert. Pour water on the ground and watch it evaporate!
Laredo TX, 113 degrees, with humidity felt more like 130
110° Springtown, TX. Hangin/Welding steel on my haybarn
Hottest temp was about 112 degrees in West Texas working in the oil field.
Marine corps air station yuma, AZ.... daily highs of 105...we were building the wall on the border back in '06.
@@JJ-jv1gu the fence must be 2 feet tall
@@JJ-jv1gu marines do what the liberal government tells them to do like only making a small section of fence
Before Trump There was a wall???LOL!!!!just kidding...we all know the Liberal Democrats want a wall they just won't admit it! cuz they a bunch a pussies...
Did over 2000ft of pipe rail in Springtown tx at about 106 at 10am
Southern california on the Mexican boarder 130 for almost 2 weeks strait with a low of about 80 at night
I think it was around 105-110 F with humidity. Doing traffic control, surveying, moving rebar and apartment building windows and panels in Ontario Canada. Rained slightly on and off during the day for about 5 minutes at a time creating the humidity. Wore a long sleeve hi-vis because I was sunburnt lol got soaked form the rain and then sweat, little to no breeze.
I like that bandana trick! PROTECT YA NECK, tie a bandana to your head/hardhat/welding helmet that is soaked with water so that it covers the back of your neck. It will keep you cool as well as protect you from the sun! Sunglasses always in the summer!
On top of a control room in a paper mill. We couldn’t stand to work for more than 3-5 minutes without taking a water break for about 10-15. No clue how hot it was but it was above where paper was being made so I’m sure you could imagine
Setting explosive charges inside a calsine 145 give or take inside it was warm enough we set a egg inside the man way had a hardboiled egg on your way out. Penthouses inside power plants gets stupid hot too even after they have been shutdown for a bit.
115 outside! 146 on roof in Phoenix, Az.
In Kansas it got up to 100-120 degree for 6 weeks in 2012
New pancake user here. Definitely cooler but I fog up a little inside the lense because it's sealed to my face pretty good. Not always but its happened a few times on me.
There was an old timer at the last shop I worked at that would attach a flex hose to the exhaust arm and stick it up his pant leg
120 in Southern California out on the pipeline
Ivanpah Solar project 27 miles outside Las Vegas. 114 the day I hired in.
Hottest weather was here in Oklahoma (marlow) it was about 105 , used the temp gun up on the perlin it read 138 , Oklahoma heat is no joke haha
111* on a ranch here in Abilene Tx (2mo project) welding up 4 rail, deadman and H-post. Absolutely miserable because all I had were old worn out leather cape sleeves at the time.
where do you get a FR umbrella. Thanks for the videos.
The hottest temp i worked in was 103 and 90% humidity, flagging a crane next to a none insulated FCC unit at Valero memphis.
The hottest place I’ve been was at a Kraft Foods plant in the pasta drying room up in the pipe racks it was about 120 on the floor but we were about 30 feet up so I’m sure hotter up there
a/c is nice but after deploying to the middle east for year starting at the end of summer and ending at the end of summer, texas heat dont bother me that much anymore. Hottest day we had was 154 degrees on the flight line
Yes it is cooler I just bought a pancake and there’s a big difference
Easy, had a certified therometer, very dry, low humidity, by Lake Nacimiento in central Coast CA. Outside , no shade. In the shade it measured 119 F. Whew! On the way home had to take a detour due to a grass fire .
114 in Boyd Texas hangin guardrail.
Here in Phoenix Arizona its long sleeves all year long whether Im welding or not.
Last year when i was helper on a pipeline in chickasaw Oklahoma holy crap i was dying. There i learned that pickle juice helps
The coolest welding hood is the kind that has a papr attached to it
Long sleeves are the secret sauce of working outside and avoiding problems. It's counter-intuitive but it helps keep that sweat on you longer, so it can work for you more effectively as it evaporates. Bonus is it keeps the sun off you.
120 in shade . Uae. Ex military
Have you ever done any Oil rig welding?
110 Laredo Tx. Cross Dock
Yes sir I think pancake hoods would be cooler
Iowa. 97 degrees. 20ft bellhole. at noon.
Upwards of 150 degrees. Year round. Welding inside pre heated tanks on nuclear submarines. Long sleeves and Kevlar sleeves and leathers are required. No wind to cool me off. 20 years and I still am not acclimated to it.just plain hot!!
107 in texas that’s like every damn day down here
The hottest was 65°C/149°F in paper mill in Quebec Canada
117 degrees at a gas plant in Cushing oklahoma, was no fun at all lol
damn bro those pants you have hanging up look like some pants that are church pants or something lol. All clean and ironed up... i wouldn't wanna get them dirty by welding in them....
keep up the videos, love the content!
105 degrees in south Florida. Dual shield flux core inside a metal building. Doesn't sound hot but the humidity made it almost unbearable.
Try a cool rag it’s like a banana but it’s made out some kinda wich craft cloth that u get it wet snap/pop it or swing it around for a second or 2 and it’s so nice and cold and stays thata way for 10 or so mins then when it’s not cold u just snap/pop it a time or to or swing it and back at it that’s what I do when in the shop in the summer
Put ice cubes in that bandana.... works even better... from Florida
116 in pecos tx in a sandy 24 ft deep bell hole
I feel the pancake is cooler you get more air. Hottest temp 115 baltimore Maryland
118 in Nevada but 114 in Oklahoma was hotter. But I was doing 400 degree hot welds in Nevada so the dry hot climate of Nevada didn't seem so bad
Pancake is cooler, although use a grinder to slice some slots in a sugar scoop and your golden
Last mounts in 99 at a open door shop in sc
The Hottest I've ever worked in was 145deg at a shipyard in Avondale LA. (the yard is now closed, but it was 98 deg outside and there was so much burning and welding going on that the inside even with blowers reached 165.
132 in a steel/tin building production welding with 1/16 flux core. that what the fancy wall hanger said
Pump garden sprayer with water. Keep your clothing damp and you will be much happier in the Heat.
120 southern Cali.
Like 120 on a roof with extreme humidity in Alabama for a week
I’m only 15 but 102 with the humidity at 100% so when you sweated it didn’t do any good
Great video. The hottest temp I worked it was 130 with 85 percent humidity at at food processing plant in Pennsylvania. Our bosses on the job told us go up and weld for about 15-20 minutes and come down and take a break because they didn’t want anyone to get hurt or pass out do to the extreme heat. The one guy did the calculations on real deal in that plant it it was around 185 degrees.
It’s impossible your skin would melt
I worked in Iraq in 03 and I believe the hottest days were 120-125 mid summer.
135+ outside temp in Kuwait
Louisiana in the house and I'm still not used to this shit ! Lord it's hot !
120° Baghdad
114 degrees and at least 80% humidity Oklahoma
