    Very important to always get a thickness test done on production pipe before welding.
    Some pipes are worn down to 2mm.
    If you get a thicknees test done at least your covered by insurance.
    If pipe is badly worn out replacement is safer than patchwork.
    Be safe and lookafter yourself cause to the companies your only a number.

      there was no big bang but there was a massive investigation.
      The guy was sued by company,and left without a job.

    I really enjoyed watching you do this in service test. I'm retired now from distribution and transmission lines lost my sight in my left eye. But still kind of table around a little bit on the equipment and whatnot. I've taken many a test over the years I'm from Houston originally and work for Lone Star Gas even work for Enron back in the day when before they went downhill worked on a lot of transmission stations. The Quality Auto turning out here on your videos is good. I can say I've been there and done that with no BS. You guys are telling it how it is in the field and it's even harder. Thank you felis I just stumbled on y'all a while back but enjoy any of the videos that you make. Take it from an old hand. Quality work takes quality Equipment you guys have got it I've run both machines. Be safe on your travels take care of each other. Mark Scott Shelby North Carolina

Tested out with a 2 inch and 12 inch saddle. Was a quicker fir up is all I'm saying. Didnt have to fight the backing strip. Carry on boys

    Keep 75% to 80% of your heat on the reinforcing ring, pushing the edge of the puddle to the pipe with the arc. Minimal heat on the pipe by pushing the puddle. The arc is on the puddle, not the pipe. Push the puddle with the arc. Liquid puddle melts into the pipe. Stay alive.

    you always have your hand right in the fire thats why your gloves look like chicharrones, and by bracing your hand or arm on the pipe every single pass means you lack the ability to free hand which shows your inexperience.
