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!
