About 25% of our video requests come from weldors that have a test THE NEXT DAY and want us to make a video to help them. Of that 25% about half are asking about 6G pipe.
First, if you have a weld test tomorrow and you're just trying to get help now; you're in trouble.
Now, for those who still have some time to practice, but don't have access to pipe here is a way you can get some arc time in. This also works for people that haven't yet ventured into 6G and want to practice on something that is easy to reset and try again.
Bevel up some plate and put it on a 45 degree angle. practice making stringers in the plate until you get good. After you're confident in your abilities, you can angle the plate back towards you and this will simulate the 6:00 to 3:00 position of pipe.

Love the banter, Mr. Moffatt. Your videos are very informative, and usually quite funny. I like how you poke fun at yourself and all around you. That's a sign of a TRUE welder. I also want to thank your boy for his service to this country, and to thank you as well for your service to this trade.
6g welds are easy, getting your stiff, seized up ass out of the car the next morning is the hard part.
Great advice & video Bob. Cheers.
myblueshades no there not easy and that’s why they give them, they do get easier the more you do it and sounds to me like you know how to do it like I’d like too feel
Thank you Bob Moffett you are so great! I've been teaching welding for years and now I'm going back to TIG welding which I have been away from for a few years and it's quite challenging and ungrateful for all the tips that you and the great welding teachers and welders give all of us on CZcams!
i wish my dads old 240 volt montgomery wards buzz box welded like that, but i have never really learned to clean my material before i started watching welding videos like yours and weldingtipsandtricks. you and jody have taught me how to get the most out of my new hobert 190... kudos!!!
Very good advise, straight to the point !! Good comments , we feel your experience and on top of that good and better ,and better video shots , camera man is getting very good at that .Now we see better what the instructor tries to show us
Good job you guys !!!
Mr Moffet your a boss !
Watched you as a student now I'm two years in the trade and still learning from you. Your impact in the industry is one to admire... Much respect to you! 👩🏭
I love it when he says i used to be good at, but im getting kinda old and shakey these days. He could weld most things while asleep
Hi Bob,
Another excellent video, your comments on students doing a test having done no prep does not surprise me. And welding, like most manual skills, comes with learning the basics and then practice.
I can also relate to your comments on the effects of age and losing that steady hand. I'm older than you, and the eyesight also doesn't cooperate and having bifocals regularly find the split line right where I'm welding and can't see a thing! Old age is not something to look forward to. The body doesn't always like getting into some of those awkward positions either.
Best wishes, Dennis
Thanks Bob for another great video. As a pipe welder who passed ALOT of tests over the years, I learned to run a root pass and (over the years)weave out to my cap stringers. No matter what the position. From 2" to 3" pipe. Anything over that, stringers.
As always great camera work and great content. I learn a ton every video.
Hi Bob, you give some good pointers and easy to understand, to all that are watching....and easy to watch...thank you
Just got a Lincoln pro 140 mp, so excited to use it. My first welder after welding school. Getting everything set up to hopefully run it soon. I've never done 6g either. I will get there with instructors like you out there
The arc strike on the table Bob was funny as all heck!It reminded me of last Friday I was training someone how to use a Airarc/carbon arc gouging rig and arc'd er on my table.Needles to say it got a laugh too..Another great video as always😎
Keep the extras coming at the end. They are funny.... lol
Love the outtakes as much as the great videos and info! See we're all human.
Awesome tutorial man, thank you kindly for doing the conversion form imperial to metric :)
Bob im 53 been weldin since i was in my mid 20's and here is what ive found with youth...they want u to tell them how to do something that can only be learned through experience....does that make since?they always sayin teach me how to weld but dont want to put in the hours of sweat and gettin burned and tears from when you fail....etc....if you never fail u havnt tried hard enough!push yourself to the point of failing and you will grow!!!
Lol, I just gotta say again, you and "cameraguy" do a pretty good job!!
Instablaster...
Great video. Thank you very much for all the time and knowledge you share with us. My welding has been taken to a whole new level with all the great info you share.
Iron Foundryman Glad to hear it. Thanks for the support.
Всегда с превеликим удовольствием смотрю (сидя перед монитором на противоположной стороне нашей планеты) Ваши видео очерки!
Боб, искренне желаю Вам крепкого здоровья, успехов и благополучия!
Uh huh.
Sweet vids Bob. Thank you.
Great vid. That arc looks HOT. Good work Camera Guy
Ben Oliver not really
Good show as always.
great video bob,👍👍👍
i love ur pipe welding by smaw please keep that up
Good job Bob
Quiero agradecerle que gracias Asus tutoriales e aprendido mucho en soldadura en tubería sobretodo en el primer paso o fondeo mil gracias Saludos desde tampico Tamaulipas México
THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME I'VE BROUGHT IT UP,MR.BOB MOFFAT YOU RUN THE BEST ROOT PASS I HAVE EVER SEEN.COULD I GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH?
Bob layin down the tough love. Gotta do it.
Word
Cheeez it, Bob. Are you a Hippity Hopper now??? LOLOLOL.
Will you please do a 6in 6010 5g pipe welding video uphill from start to finish with a 7018 cap. Thank you
Really good vids, you do well not to over or under play welding.
Great idea using plate like that for 6G
I *really* want the plans for the stand he's got the work piece on. I need something to practice with.
When I was in welding school they told us to 1) whip and pause on the root, rather than a straight stringer. And 2) grind the rough of the 6010 root and run a 7018 as a hot pass that way, rather than the 6010 like you do.
Does one method have any advantage/disadvantage vs the other or is it personal preference?
Bob, could you please provide your opinion on weld layers and the importance of those positions based on... 6G, 45 deg away, sch 160, 6" carbon, 5P+ root/fill, LH Cap.. Regards J.D.
Thanks you boss God bless you
The sound in this video is a bit messed up. The ambient sound is in the left channel, but whenever Bob talks, it switches over to being mono in the center, so when he's speaking, the audio just jumps back and forth between left and center.
Hello Bob, I was seeing if you could show me how to performed an overhead weld with E6010 root/fill and cap on 3/8 bevel, having a little trouble thank you very much.
Good job sir
Can you do a video while you cut and fit and weld the tacks for a 1g roll out , root face how Big and gap ?
Thanks once again 👍👍👍
Bob your the man!
NTH Welding Camera guy is the man!
thanks for the vids Bob, riddle me this, API standard Vs ASME standard in the petrol industries, why and where would one be chosen over the other, thanks joe
It has been my experience that cross country generally falls under API 1104 and one may run downhill all passes. Soon as you get inside a plant it all changes to ASME all uphill progression.
♥️👍 Great tutorial!
A question to all welders, the root pass, as Mr. Moffatt glues the electrode completely or does it have some separation, any advice? 5:06
Bob, thanks for doing what you do. Regarding the Esab 300 though, what's your opinion. Did I miss a review? I sure wish Esab would come out with a dual voltage 200'ish amp dc welder. I've got their 160 and love it. Thanks.
Renegade is a great little machine!!
Could you give some pointers on the root pass I’m in the Veterans in Piping program on Camp Lejuene and have been working at this the last 3 weeks trying to test for the UA 21 the 2” double heavy in 6G I cannot get my root pass uniform
Great looking beads Bob
Id like to see the camera set up and what filter the cameras looking through.
can you help me i’m using 88s rods 8016’s for 6g 2.5mm rod 3mm gap with 2.5mm land these rods run very different from 7016/7018’s a lot harder any advice?
Hi i ran across your vedio a couple weeks ago and in joy. I am 70 and. been Welding since 12 i was taugh by my father who had a shop.I think you do a real good job of teaching your students. I also like your helment could you tell me the name and were you are able to get one? Thanks
www.arc1weldsafe.com
can you weld that going down hill to or dose it have to go uphill?
Bob = Legend 👍👍
Sir. How do I pratice dutch the bottom of 6G pipe? Could you please tell me how?
Nice to see video
Could you guys do a tour of the shop. Just to show us viewers what it's like
Yeah, I think we could manage a shop tour.
wenn I started welding iI thought length of weld was about equal to length of rod in terms of rod consumption
good video! would you be able to do a video on MIG roots? specifically starts and stops, at college (UK Level 2 - 1st year), im doing MIG open root Butt joints at the moment but i am consistently getting lack of penetration at the start and the stop near the tacks, yet the rest is spot on, we are doing this with 6mm plate in the flat position, many thanks! :)
Sure, we'll add it to the list.
Weld.com thanks! :)
Grind (feather) your stops. Make them nice and thin.
Practice, practice, practice.
I practice my pipe welding by welding on old tire rims. junk yards are full of them. mount them in any position on a engine overhaul stand. weld inside outside whatever weigh 50- 60 pounds when I get tired of it. haul it back to to scrap yard get a few bucks go have a beer or two go round up another few welded a bunch together once won't do that again!!
What is the Amp for 6G caping
What was the vendor that supplies your gloves, and yes that's how we practice 6G, at MDCC
jagger21256 @weldporn
Good info for the technique, but realize to get it he's bracing on the table. Most tests like this you won't have that luxury. And also, he has a second or third man on the fume extractor, another thing people in the field will not have the luxury of. I guess it boils down to, just practice. Definitely helpful tips for that.
Best of the best 👏👏👏👍
What is that little back and forth move on the root pass? Love your vids bob watching ya from Riverton Wyoming
It's to get that "dime stacking" effect
To make sure I'm getting in the keyhole and filling behind it.
Video request: starts and stops with an 035 mig wire on pipe, any position.
If you're not draging your stick on that 3rd pass, how do you know you are holding it say 1/8" up as you move? Is it the size of the arc? I am in tech school, 1st semester, and do not know how to tell my arc length or even know what to look for. Also, your root pass, are you draging the 6010 or holding it up slightly?
It comes with practice and muscle memory. But u can never go wrong with a tight arc length if you’re loosing arc. After the rod is hot and running you can push the rod into the metal without it sticking.
Show how to 6010 overhead please
Great 6g video👍 can you or do you have and 6g videos with 7018 root and cap?
Yes
Northern Sweden Welding Channel has a video with great arc shots doing a 6g with 7018 all way out ( from root to cap ).
Андрей Клименко Indeed they do. It's a dandy.
Bob Moffatt thank you for taking the time to reply. I found your 7018 open root and it was another great video with lots of great information. Keep on rocking bud 👍
Just a question on your root. I always whip and keyhole when I run a 6010 root do you not teach it or just prefer dragging?
We teach it all. Do you whip it going downhill too? Why whip if its going in just fine regardless of direction of travel?
Fan friggin tastic Bob!! Can you do pulse mig on aluminium. There is nothing i can find on settings.
Thanks sharn
Mr. greens boat tanks and aluminium welding Tig? Mig?
Bob Moffatt as stated MIG please
Mr. greens boat tanks and aluminium welding My bad. I was busy when I glanced at that.
Bob Moffatt no problem Bob! We all do it. Lol!
Buen video
Mantap, kelihatan hasilnya
hello sir thanks for the good work, sir please am welder from Ghana and the CEO of perfecto fabrication and construction ltd please am putting up a welding institution over here please any advice for me thanks.
Pretty shinny old timer
Faz a raiz depôs o enchimento depois faz o guia faz o primeiro filete outro Guia faz o segundo filete outro Guia e o terceiro filete e assim que se faz
Please try to use 6013 in 6g position is difficult than 7018😁
I'ts nice welding sir,I'm welder n fitter too.may I join you?
Love this dude, Weld Porn Tig Gloves and flashing the camera man!
First !!!!!! Super video cheers Bob
Thank you sir.
Bob, I started on 1G with an open back but I can’t seem to get a good root pass without whipping the bead in. I see that when you run your root, you have hardly any movement, if any movement at all. What would you suggest I do differently? Running 6010 1/8” rod at around 75 amps and about a 1/4 of arc strength.
Chris Harrell What root face and gap?
Bob Moffatt I don’t have a piece in front of me but I’d guess around a 1/4-3/8 root face. The gap is 3/32
Chris Harrell Plate is 3/8. If you had a 1/4 root face you essentially have no bevel left. And at that gap, you'd have to run way hot or you won't get penetration.
Chris Harrell 3/32 face, 3/32 gap.
Bob Moffatt well, I’m sure I’m wrong on the root face. Lol! I can get a fairly consistent bead on the back side for the most part, aside from tying in. I just can’t seem to get it to work without whipping it in. I only have class two days a week and it’s a class more for the hobbyist than it is an actual class. I’ll get more information tomorrow and get back with you on it.
Bravo
please do arc weld open root in the flat position
We have. Look for a video titled PASS / FAIL bend test.
czcams.com/video/SPfCtBbPwhc/video.html
love ya! :)
thank you!!
I didn’t get to sit in a chair yesterday!!
where were you 6 years ago when i took my pipe welding exams....
what rod size you used?
mr_matt 1/8" 6010 3/32 7018
question I noticed that you stop ever so often what's the point of this.
???
Bob Moffatt I think he means the stepping pattern.
Leonard Gilbreath To control bead profile.
What happens when you use too much argon when tig welding
You draw air in behind the shielding gas and contaminate the weld. Too much velocity so to speak.
Bob Moffatt
Thanks for info.my weld was ugly and gas was way to high. Problem solved
jeremiah T walker you can get by with 12-20 cfh depending on cup size and amperage
Bob Moffatt
I have my cert. In stick , now I'm fooling around with some tig
I can’t even turn on my 6010 😔
I'll sand that off later lol
I wish Bob was my dad. A golfing welder or is he a welding golfer?
Jusessonks
What if wps calls for 2 stacked but I'd rather step in 3 on the cap..
Follow the WPS
It's just looks goofy with 2 stacked out on .500 wall
What size rod do you think you'll run to stack 2 on a .500 wall?
5/32 fill it flush and the drag 2 around it a bit of a weave... more so with 1/8. Not huge bore 4" .500.. just a tad heavier than. Sch 80
Stand the bevels up a little more so the bevels arent a mile wide tighten the gap up throw it in 4th gear and 65 skate a bead in it and go
I just wanna be Bob when I grow up
I’ll be honest. I didn’t know there was anything above 4G
burn to learn
What's a good question? Actually is there a question for you that you can't answer? Seriously what's the most difficult question? I feel like there's a formal answer. Is there a formal answer about a really good question?
Hahahahaha have you practiced? .......uh nooo Hahahahahahahahhahahahaha great practice video bob 👍🏽
u can sit on a chair on a 6g test...
Weld porn is the actuall name of the company? Or is it youtube subtitles making fun of me? Oh and which electrode are you using? 6013 AC would work too right?
Bob seine Schüler kannste du kommen lassen
