6G Max T | TIG Welding For Beginners! From Root To Cap!
Ғылым және технология
6G Tig welding for beginners from root to cap is a welding test with a tig root pass on a 2" XXH wall, with a maximum tig welding procedure.
6G is where the pipe is fixed at a 45-degree angle and welded in this fixed position.
So, it basically covers flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead in a single position.
In this video, I will break down the steps to pass the 6G position test, starting with the root pass, hot pass and I will show the steps from fill passes to finish with a multi-pass cap.
The pipe welding techniques used, and the welding procedure as per ASME Section IX welder performance qualification (WPQ) pipe welding certification.

None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
My videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

Thanks brother... I haven't done much tig on pipe pipe and now have to do some stainless testing and I just can't remember how to get comfortable on the awkward side... Was a little panicked but your videos are really helpful and I love your calmness. Hope to see you out there on a job ✌️😁👍

Looks great I’d love to see you do a 3/32 gap 4 tacks root with tig 3/32 wire and hot pass 7018 welding rod fill it flush with rod and cap it with 7018. I learned a lot and I’m struggling with the the tig root. I have a test coming up soon in august wish me luck
Nice job
Did 6g last week, i welded 8 different pieces and last 4 i welded were good and the best one got sent somewhere to be tested (problems with tacking and some blackspots appeared in the root under tacks)
Very good boss
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏 add more videos
Nice job, although I would have a smaller gap and single dip, flush and cap without walking using 2.4mm all the way. Back in the day we would fill and cap heavy wall with stick 🙂 Keep up the good work👌
