welded pipe for 45+ years I think code says minimum bevel 28 degrees. Key to putting good bead in is a uniform land, which makes for a uniform heat sink . It does matter for easy welding . It will garner less repairs for x-ray work
This is the clearest, most informative and concise video I have watched on welding pipe in a real world setting. I just started welding school about a month ago and your channel is a great resource for me. Keep it up and thank you!
@@TaylorWelding It's going well man! We finally got an actual welder for our instructor with 8 years in the field experience. I made it through the stick portion and I'm almost done with MIG. After that I move on to TIG. It's a year long program so I'll be done around early May next year. Thanks to your channel, and a couple others, I'm getting the hang of it and really enjoying it.
I like to run 3/32 land, and tack at a 3/32 gap. After all 4 tacks are in, you’re running about a 1/16” gap, and you can run it uphill around 72-80 amps (depending on machine) or downhill with a few more depending on what the customer wants. Everyone has to learn what works for them! That’s why I like your vids because you say that over and over. Love from FL
This just popped up in my suggest videos I loved it subbed and liked for sure great content my favorite part was the end had me rolling on the ground. Straight up thats the only thing they can do with they complaints
Let me know when you get tired of answering all the comments….😂. Good work man. I dig the content. You are the field version of Jody Collier. You ought to reach out to him to do some vids together. Think he is in Georgia?
Good job! I use a .070 thick spacer and like you said the gap and land when right will make the bead fall in there. I worked for a welding shop in early 80’s that was an old school pipeliner and he like a tight gap and small land and you had to drive that bead in. Then a friend showed me the method above and was so much easier..... keep it up!
I think that’s the exact same thickness spacer I use.. 070 should be close to the 16th. Thanks for watching and commenting Leslie. I’m gonna do my best keep it coming
MD pipe beveler rock, I see some hands using the curved cutting tip for gouging. I like the the start tips too. At the end I hear the Red Wing Black bird.
Just awesome! Great information and knowledge I really Enjoy someone who is a straight shooter and tells it like it is and passes along there tips and tricks. Thanks. Question, in your specific line of Pipe work how much do you deal with those inspectors you were talking about? Will they nick you for a out of spec bevel? Or it’s more of a get the job done and it better pass out at the end? Just curious.
It all depends on the inspector. Most of the time like 99% of the time they’re not really a problem. Usually the young know it all inspectors are the problem ones. And will call you for just about anything. They feel as if they need to justify their job. If they ever look at my bevel angle they’re not gonna like it lol
What kinda tip you got for when the stick rod starts eating away at the flux unevenly? Hopefully you know what I mean. When I'm welding, sometimes the flux won't get used up evenly on both sides, and one side can go faster than the other. This makes the rod 'harder' to control. Any reason why this happens? And whats your thoughts on not beveling pipe for welding? Got 2 old school guys who says you don't need to. Granted it lower pressure stuff, usually always less than 100psi. Guess is hot and fast enough to over come the non bevels? Wonder how it would do on a bend test.
Hey man love the info! Im currently trying to make it from top to bottom without stopping lol but usually on the side or bottom I end up pretty much choking the rod in there then I gotta do a restart. What’s usually the issue here?
On more critical stuff I do 4 tacks so nothing walks on me. Then just worry about a quarter pipe at a time. It’s more work feathering tacks but I’ve always got great results. Depends though something less critical I’ll go too and bottom like him and zip up the sides.
I'm taking a 3G weld test right now. 1/16 in wire, flux core. And the parameters involve 285 amps at least. Impossible. I would like to see you make a video on it
@@TaylorWelding it was too hot. Nobody could pass it. Might as well try weling with the plasma cutter lol. Qc was able to knock it down to 24 volts. Much better. Passed my test and Now I'm building our Skywalk!
When you will from 12 to 6 without taking the opposite side, won’t be Pipe or the fitting draw to one side shooting Utech one side before Welding, the whole other side
I have a bit of a heavy hand and I have problems burning through on the uphill root from say 3-5 o’clock. Regardless, I always do better with a tight gap (3/32” may as well be 1/4” for me). I know it’s technique and that closing up the gap is just a bandaid. My rod angle goes to shit coming up around the spring line and once I notice, it slows my travel down, the keyhole becomes a manhole and Im filling holes. Im all natural gas building trades stuff so it’s uphill all the way 6010 root & fill, 7018 cap. It’s just a sticking point for me, and the fact that I can go months not having to weld at work doesn’t help the problem. I might be brazing copper for a year straight between weld jobs.
Welding noob here. Chris you’re the man!
Thanks, brother

Thanks brother. It seems like welders are the worst. Lol
When it comes to bitchin, complaining and knowing everything!
Another awesome video, I've been a contract welder for 20 years & that is something I've never forgotten, is to not be be scared to try new styles...
Right on Aristide.
I’m always trying new stuff. Maybe to much sometimes lol

@@Birdkillersteve going through the comments and I missed this one. Thanks man.
feels like i should be paying for all of this information. youre the best man
Thank you for watching… ask questions if you have any
outstanding, keep making more vidoes.
Now I understand why pipe welders get the legendary big $.
I love this video
Buy Silver and Platinum . You are A grate dude ,Chris .
Thanks Brother that means a lot to me
Fantastic video by the way! Some of the best and most detailed instruction I've seen on youtube.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it!

Thanks Clifford
Great job Chris!
Thanks Andrew
Well done 👏
I appreciate it Mr. Kissee
Not a pipeline guy but I have always welded exhaust by looking through the gap.
That was really helpful this is a great welding channel
Thank you
Beautiful Root!!
Thank you Danny James.

that ending made me laugh, sub earned 👍
Really cool and informative video. Got a new sub 🔥💪
Thanks brother glad you like it and thank you for commenting
Man this video helped me a lot my bead pass is amazing
Good deal I’m glad
You don’t usually need to pre heat on not too thick of a material, good video👍🏽
Thanks man
Thanks for watching dude

How do know you what gap to have? Is it based on what size welding rod you’re using?
I take my 1st 6G test soon appreciate the tips
If you need any help… just ask
Thanks for watching dude
@@TaylorWelding no problem
what is that hammer shaped fitting on the other end of the pipe--some type of pressure controlling device?
It’s called a cushion T
Hey man love the info! Im currently trying to make it from top to bottom without stopping lol but usually on the side or bottom I end up pretty much choking the rod in there then I gotta do a restart. What’s usually the issue here?
Probably turn it up. Maybe rod angle,
On more critical stuff I do 4 tacks so nothing walks on me. Then just worry about a quarter pipe at a time. It’s more work feathering tacks but I’ve always got great results. Depends though something less critical I’ll go too and bottom like him and zip up the sides.

What's the problem. Not very familiar with flux core. Besides welding structural junk

Great video. What amps were you welding at
🤷♂️ idk just hot enough but not to cold
Do you line up your mark with the center of the torch?
Top of tip or ther about
what brand of stinger are you using
It's called a stubby rod Saver. They don't make them anymore. I've got some extra ones if you want one. They're 50 bucks.
Wouldn't "leading it" be the same thing as dragging it?
What are your machine settings and heat
There is no certain setting. I never machines different. My vantage beads pretty good on 3 1/2 to 4 1/4
Any advice on how to "tighten up" and avoid dropped ripples?
Turn it down, or go faster
Or both
When you will from 12 to 6 without taking the opposite side, won’t be Pipe or the fitting draw to one side shooting Utech one side before Welding, the whole other side
?
Have you got any tips on 6013 rods I just keep getting
Little slang traps in the Weld
No! I don’t know anything about them
Where did you get your stinger?
I bought a bunch of them along time ago they don’t make them anymore
@@TaylorWelding thanks for the reply.
When I tack the bottom I pull the rod towards me
A lot of welders do that.
What’s the best lense
I like the tefewe. Link in description
Hey what type of lens are you running?
I made you a video Joe Doe
@@TaylorWelding great
@@TaylorWelding I can’t find it tho
@@joedoe1532 I made it today. Just look at my latest video
Do you ever do any uphill procedures with 6010/7018?
Fill & cap 7018 on just about everything lately
😂
Who are you working for
Nobody right now
Wish I could see that close up. I have to wear cheaters.
Do you have Facebook?
Yes I don't know how to go about finding it. Chris Taylor is ,my name
@@TaylorWelding I'll look into it
What ever happened to this guy?

I would have to go tighter than 3/32
And when nobody was looking, I would run it down hill lol
I heard the same crybaby when I was fly cutting on a mill
