- 6G Weld Test 6010 Root and 7018 Fill & Cap.
In this video, I will break out the steps on how to pass the 6G position test 6G using E6010 for open root and E7018 for fill and cap for the pipe welding certification. As per ASME Section IX, Qualification in the inclined fixed position which is 6G, shall qualify for all positions. The 6G certified welder certification is not easy to pass and requires a lot of practice and training. A fixed position means that once welding begins, the pipe cannot be rolled or moved. The welder has to weld all around the pipe in the same position. So, it basically covers flat, horizontal, vertical welding, and overhead in a single position.
#6G #6010 #7018
None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners!
All of my videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and different welding positions.
90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!

Thank you for expanding your repertoire of lessons my friend❤
Four caps, four cuts and four passes! Top notch.
Thanks man! 😊
About to test in similar to this in my union.
Love the video and the tips! Definitely gonna use this!
Excelente maestro, gracias por el contenido. Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Great video! Thanks man, your videos really help me so much!😊👏🏼👨🏻🏭
Thanks brother for your comment, I’m very happy to hear that 🙏👍
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, nice video thanks
Great job !
Thanks bud 👍
Man the ASME- IX MUST NOT APPLY in your country way easier than here in the USA go for it man!!! make that money!!
You’re badass man good entertainment, and learning other techniques
Good stuff
These videos help out a lot. Can I request tacking and welding on olet? I did my first 5G position tig root walking the cup learnt it by watching your videos you and crazy welding are the best ones
Hey Matt, thanks for your comment bud I appreciate it, means a lot to me 🙏 For making my videos I do what I got at the moment, but I will keep your suggestion in my mind. Thanks once again and play safe 👍
Now doing this for a 6G weld test, what motion should i do, Straight, circles, zigzag? and should i use 1/8 7018 for more filler rod? Or Stick with 3/32 the whole way? Also should i try to start with big welds then stack or just stack the whole thing.
Looking gooood
Nice job
Thanks!🙂
Odlican video! 👍🏻
Thanks brother 👍
hello brother!!! what equipment do you use to shoot the welding arc? thank you in advance!
Hey brother,Nothing fancy, old action camera 📷 that’s my equipment!
You’re killing it!! 👍 what is your day to day like - do you fitup or mainly weld or both? i’d be interested to see your process of fitting up pipe on the job and repairs that you do
Hey bud thanks for your support, I appreciate it. I do whatever comes to my way, fitting or welding. I prefer to do only welding as they don’t pay any extra for doing something else besides jobs that you are hired for, but definitely a good suggestion I’ll work on that soon as I get the opportunity.👍
Super dope.
Thanks brother
*👀Great video. Perhaps the Gentleman that commented that you would have failed because of excessive penetration did not watch the video to the end. The penetration (shown at the end of the video) looked well within specifications. You stated in the video that two face bends were done and two root bends were done. It appears in the video that four side bends were done. It has been my experience that coupons of this thickness are always subject to side bends not root and face bends. You can clearly see after the bend test that there are no grinder marks on top of the coupons where they were bent. After the bent coupons were placed on the table you can see that the grinder marks are on the side not where they were bent which shows they were subject to side bends. Just an observation. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.*
Hey my friend thank you for your comment! Yes, you right about side bend test, I did couple of tests that day, and didn’t even noticed that I've fudged that up. Thanks tho! 👍
Nice
good welding
🔥
I’ve been welding downhill for 10+ years. Taking an uphill test soon. My starts on the bottom don’t want to tie in to the edges. Any tips?
How do they clean the slag out of the ID if the pipe was an actual weld
💪
I am not professional welder but i would like to learn weld tubes i work stick weld and i think to start tig do you believe is easier from stick and i thing for start to weld with my inventer stick weld what do you believe
any advice for 8016-g rods? in 6g filarc 88’s they are called? or maybe you can make a video
Hey bud, I didn’t use that rod much so I wouldn’t be competent to give any advice.
what size 6010 rod do you use for root?
How do you keep your starts so clean and perfect?
Clean and grind every stop-start.
❤
👍
I ask a young kid to hand me a hand full of those 6010's and he said, (there ain't none) all you got is some 0109's 😖
😆
It's funny because that's our new life.
What arc force do you like to use with 6010 and 7018 for this test?
Zero
Can you do cwb fit ups if possible 1g to overhead please
Thanks for your comment bud. Soonest I got the chance I will do it.
Man, I always forget to ask you, as you are from Europe, what’s the difference from working in Europe as a welder from North America? Have you had different treatment there and did you also use all welding procedures like you are showing us here? I have plans to go to Germany so that’s why I’m asking.. Thanks man✊🏽
Hey bud, It is little bit different in North America , they prefer more stick welding, but there is more and more TIG procedures involved in welding. Europe is majority Tig , lot’s of tig welding, there is also other welding procedures but tig is number one. If you are good tig welder you shouldn’t have any problems on sites. I spent couple years working in Germany and I can tell you that they are pretty strict about welding, very high quality standards and expectations . Definitely good choice to sharpen your skills. Treatment is the same everywhere, if they see that you know what you doing and if you got good skills, you’ll get respect.
@@X3MTIG Thank you brother for your answer!! I was thinking it is probably really strict in Germany, but I have to master my tig. I admire you so much, your welding is like art and you explain things so well! Thank you for always communicating with me! ✊🏽🙌🏾💪🏽
What amperage’s do you run on 6010 for a 6 inch monster coupon, is it between 60-70 amps ?!
Somewhere in that range, but for 2” monster
@@X3MTIG so what amperage do you recommend for the 6 inch monster coupon with 3/32 6010??
OK55.Made in Sweden?
What size filler wire are you using for the bridge tacks?
I’m using bridge road if available if not usually with 1/8 filler rod
@@X3MTIGwhere do you get your bridge rod from? Trying to find a place that sells bullet/bridge tack material for tacking.
Song?
Ampiar?
What amps did you run your root
75 amps
You should never start and stop in the same spot if x - rayed. Can have lack of fusion
I'm bout this close to take a test on a coupon for a pharmaceutical tig root 7018 cap on monster cupon..
Good luck 🤞
@@X3MTIG for me peace of cake!! Lol
Or for the union guys it’s the UA21
It's actually ua60 21 is 160 wall
@@unionwelder598 yeah pretty much same test just qualifies you for more. Didn't even realize the wall thickness difference when I watched this lol. Think I was at work or something. 👍
Every test I've ever taken, we weren't allowed to grind the cap
If you’re welding for the union, you can’t use the grinder when you cap or use the file
He’s in Europe
Stringers on the cap need to be overlapped to the crown of previous. Tighten them stringers up.
You really don't need to grind that much with stick, only if there's a slag inclusion or porosity... I'd be there forever if I ground that much...
Thanks for your comment bud, I agree with you, but for young people or not-so-experienced ones, a good habit to clean each pass or grind, until your arc welding comes naturally to you.
@@X3MTIG well you always clean every pass and grind the bottom start to check for hidden porosity, but you don't need to flatten every pass with the grinder like that.
Those were 4 side bends.
Would not pass Xray / excessive root convexity / per ASME Sec 9
As per 20 years of experience it will pass any X-ray, and visual, and bend test as shown in this video! Unless you working for NASA and they require no more than 1/8 of root thickness, but I doubt they would use 6010 rod, for rockets fuel piping!
@@X3MTIG on union cert will not pass the visual because the grind marks.
first comment?
Thanks for your comment bud 👍
Union Boilermaker’s Common Arc test you are not allowed to use any power tools all you get is a chipping hammer and a half round file I always carried a worn down sawzall blade in my pocket for dressing up the weld that the file could not get
Lol that’s false
@@Pipefitter666 You are right you also get to use a wire hand brush I retired after 35 years from Local 107 and and know what Im talking about have you ever taken a Common Arc test for the Union Boilermaker’s? obviously not
Ain’t no way they’d let us pass a test here wire wheeling and grinding the cap 😭😭
Yeah a test that’s strictly forbidden lol
If u don’t wirewheel the cap then how are they gonna see if u have undercut??? 🤔
Agreed the cap is slick but that grind mark will bust you everytime
It all depends on type of facility, welding examiner and inspection rules.
This is a visual & bend test so aint no way they can see the arc marks penetration threw the pipe as seen in x-ray.
And why dont we hear the crispy sound? Because of the crappy music. Get rid of it man.
It’s so simple yet so difficult. If the entire human race decided to just chill and start picking up trash I am willing to bet the UFOs would be like oh hey look at the humans they seem to be chill now let’s go help them. And then then the dinosaurs came back and so did Jesus we we all lived in absolute harmony and Eden was restored.
So much grinding. that root would have failed. 1/8th max pen on root.
Well, must be a miracle that I passed eh!? Didn’t work for NASA yet bud, so I’m not familiar with that code.
