6G Pipe Test 2" TIG

Published 2024-03-11
Visit my store at weldmongerstore.com/ for TIG cup Kits, TIG Fingers, Gloves, Tungsten, Filler metal, and other quality welding tools. New products being added weekly.

This is a 2 inch schedule 80 6G test TIG all the way using ER70S6 filler wire
There are many techniques that work on this test but in this video, we used the freehand method as well as the laywire technique on the root pass.
My friend Andrew Cardin did the welding while I ran the camera.
hope this helps

    The TIG FINGER has saved me... Great personal tool to pass on to my apprentices. Thanks Big J😎😎😎

    Thanks Jody, the instructor of instructors . I missed your videos, hope everything's going good . :)
  • @jwboilermaker
    You hit the nail on the head about Boilermaker welding. Many times we are not able to walk the cup, and when we can, the guys that can do it relish the chance to not have burned fingers or knuckles. I can’t count how many 6G tests I’ve taken in my career, but surely a couple hundred. The worst ones are super coupon tests with GTAW all the way out with stainless or inconel.

    I would have duffed my tungsten minimum 20 times trying to do this, but I have also never done 6g tig like this and have never needed to. time under the hood and practice is so important, and it's awesome you make informative videos like this for when someone like me might need to learn this, or at least attempt to learn it.

    Andrew missed his calling. He should have become a welder 😂 Top notch work, Andrew. Top notch.
