There are no pipefitters on a pipeline, they are called spacers and stabbers, everyone else is a welder or a helper.

Love the video. No fancy edits, no music, no bullshit. Just video of the work and process. 🙏🙏

This is satisfying to see it's amazing how these welders work! I'm impressed! Respect those guys that work really hard on this job!!!!

This is a back breaking job. Respect for these hard working people. Hardcore test of both man and machine.

I am working on electric gas welding, I think I will improve my skills by watching such videos

I have almost something like 250 videos like this one on the channel.

So glad you didn’t cut out the jokes and profanities. That made me chuckle!👍

I love Welding...never welded pipelines, but repaired heavy equipment & semi end dump & belly dump trailers. Rebuilt loader & excavator buckets & dozer blades for the past 41 years of my life. I love it...must be killer welding as a Pipeliner!!!

This work brings a lot of memories to me back in my days at Aramco.

Best part of these videos, almost, are the noobs or trolls giving pointers that don't apply to downhill. The "you better get a guard on that grinder" or "downhill welds wont hold." Great vids man.

Funny, I worked with uphill refinery pipe welders for years and some don't even know that pipelines are welded downhill.

I'm just a hobby welder who'd like to one day make part, if not all, of my living from welding. I've seen about all of Jody's videos (weldingtipsandtricks) and have learned most of the "technique" of welding from him, but have recently found fieldres's channel and saw a reply by him to a comment on one of his videos in which he praised you for your skill and knowledge. Jody's videos show how to weld - you and fieldres show how to be a welder. Much respect and appreciation to all you guys for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I bet after this project, the welder's mate will become a better welder if they put full concentration because these guys are just out of the globe in what they are doing

I enjoy watching the pipe in the clamps being fitted. How the man signals the operators and they have to make small adjustments to get it right.

Great camera work. Love them running the stringers & the hot pass. If you can't put it on the pipe you can't stay! Xray welders= where the pros are.

My dad run a dozer for Tennessee gas and for Rivers pipeline when I was eight years old. He wanted me to be a pipeline welder i started welding got my own truck and shop but started welding structural steel instead stayed busy for 30 years. Now when I watch these welders Makes me want to go back but I cringe watching the down hill root pass. I would go up with 7018. Thanks for showing this.

It’s the type of rods they’re using that allows them to weld a downhill root pass. You must not know too much about welding......

For pipe welding the down hill root pass method is better.....There is far less undercut on the root pass while it is easier for the welder to view the Key Hole and the positioning of the hand and arm and elbow *dropping down* feels more natural and comfortable rather than pulling up from bottom to top.........with the Heat up High , You more or less bury the rod in the gap and run a tight key hole and skate along........... If the Key hole begins to grow too large because the gap is too wide then lower the heat 5 amps to 10 amps or more to gain control of the key hole.....If the Key hole becomes to tight because the gap is too tight then up the amps by 5 or 10 amps or more to maintain that tight key hole.....when everything is just right you can hear the consistent hissing and sizzle sound. If the gap closes up way too tight then use the mini grinder with a 1 / 8 thick blade to feather out the the thickness of the land. Leave your heat setting the same but when you fire up again anticipate you may have thinned out the land a little too much and not enough meat to handle the amp setting so be ready to immediately down 5 or 10 amps .....or you may not have feathered out the land quite enough and need to up 5 amps or 10 amps or more.....On the stops and starts fire up about a 1 / 2 inch before the key hole and pull a long arc and come down on the bead a little slowly to make sure the arc is fully stabilized and then begin to press lightly into the bead and start moving the arc towards the key hole while anticipating you will break through just slightly before the key hole.....and when you see you effectively break through and begin to gently bury the rod in between the gap and then pause for a count of 1 to 2 seconds to make sure you back fill the start and stop and do not leave a lack of penetration at the stop / start *Blending* point and then begin to move and carry on with the rod buried between the gap Been there done that 1975 to 1985

Boy do I miss welding pipe! Great video guys! Be safe out there!

These are some badass welders! You have some great shots in this video. Have my own rig cant wait until i can get on the pipeline, just have to get more experience under my belt, the only sucky part. Great job with this video, gives the newbies something to look forward to

Congratulations to all...fine workmanship...! Dan from Babcock & Wilcox..

Thank you for the video, I just learn something by just watching it.

Awesome work I don't know how you keep such a steady hand for so long

Nice vid. Would've liked to see the finished cap. Any radiography, spot or full. I just got my CWI and I'm thinkig of going on the road working pipelines. Your welders did agreat job on the root pass, fun to watch. Thanks.

I remember during my time in ABV rock l was in pipe line as a Tig Welder its so nice experience in my life. Even now in Europe i'n the welding QC in underground tunnel going to Switzerland big big project. Amazing project.

I appreciate to much this work ! And I'm thinking if I will do this course, it's awesome. But to make a job like this one, we need a long time.

Great to see stick root, downhand. These guys are the best.

Wow, I enjoy watching your video.

Thanks for the videos keep them coming

Cool stuff. Those pipe cranes are nice btw

Nice teamwork gentlemen.

pretty badass shots

Nice 👍 beautiful tie-in welding team works 😊✨👍✅👌🎉🎊✨

i always assumed that pipelines were welded uphill on the root pass. Live and learn.

Hard work pays off.

Great onsite welding ❤️

Badass!!! Look at them beautiful side booms!!

I like to see that, I am new to welding , a few month and only for my personal use, but I do see that they use 6010 (or similar) as I see the whip and bead technique. Amazed by the steady hand, not moving while closing the hood. My hood cannot do that because it is air assisted, so I had tl learn to lay the rod on the coating so no arc, then to close the mask with the other hand. That way I still can use both hands for the beginning of the rod .

My dad was a 798 bead hand on large pipe for many many years,now retired at 83,but still welding.

I believe this is the best video on pipeline welding on the internet. also, the person using the camera did a great job. Thanks

I love the sound when that 6010 rod burns through that landing and it's all on the inside after thaT I always had to run 6010 roots uphill rather than downhill the old guys used to run 6010 root uphill and downhill with. 6010 on the filler and cap

Very nice good job hard-working

root pass, hot pas, and cap. good stuff.

Great video

Thank you pipe Line thank you KZread and thank you all

GREAT WORK!!!

Shoot you are one hell of a welder man nice job

Good am welding heavy fabrication av just started working on some pipe but it has a 356mm boss on the end .15 beads fill .5 caps there's 100 percent ut there for a bridge I started welding wen left school I have to get re coded evrey six months av only been welding for 5 years so still learning . I have a welding engineer learning me and a old timer . Thanks for your time .

Good job..... Amazing

No es por nada pero aquí en México encuentras alos mejores soldadores del mundo pa alchile saludos

Anything manufacturing and I'm there....I love watching CNC machines also.

Bad Ass professionals. Great work.

At minute 10:13 the gap seemed wider. Did you lower the heat with the 1/8” rod or did you use a different size of rod? Do you mind sharing what you did if you remember

I have used 8010 before, digs like a 6010, weld bead appearance is like a mixture of 7018 & 6010 with an attitude! Do like the 7010 for it semi smooth weld bead texture :P

Valeu ,vocês são meus artistas ,ate a próxima ,rsrsss

Good job i love it

Question. Would a Lincoln Idealarc 250 be good enough to do that type of job?

hey man great vid! is it possible the get a vid from behind the helmet so i can see how you are manipulating your root, fill and cap. im just finishing my 3rd year and ill be going for my b ticket soon after. its nice to see how different welders weld there pipe. thanks again mike

OK, 5/8" wall, what kind of pressure would run through that? I'm guessing 'spiral' welded pipe somewhat lower than straight welded pipe? nice video, I've seen your stuff before, 23 minutes not really that long, gives a real good idea of how much is actually involved in pipe-line work.

wow..nice weld...

Good job

awww.. He's got an autodark. That is precious

Dam that was half an hour well spent, nice video.

Ive always been curious.do they xray those welds that are done out in the field?

looks good man...It looks like your just dragging the rod but keeping a tight arc...Is that right? or no?

Working on a pipelines weldings is my passion my everything am in college now just doing some hards works buts in everything we just put gods firsts

Please make some more videos and thanx for sharing!

good job!

Good job .

pretty cool video i am a well driller most of our pipe is vertical not horizontal . I know how hard your job is keep up the good work and god bless

Glad you like it! :D keep on arc'n spark'n! ;)

I’m from hongkong seeing first time this type of down head pipe welding. Is this stronger like vertical waving?

love it brother!
