PRACTICES PIPE 01

PRACTICE NAME PIPE FLAT POSITION

PROCESS SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40
POSITION FLAT 1G PIPE
FILLER SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6
MACHINE SETTINGS AS REQUIRED

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd
root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or
use filler wire 3/32).
Weld the pipe in the flat position by rotating and welding only the top section until the
pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 and the rest of the pipe with E-
7018.
The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.
The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.
The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

PRACTICES PIPE 02
PRACTICE NAME PIPE HORIZONTAL POSITION
PROCESS SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40
POSITION HORIZONTAL 2G PIPE
FILLER SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6
MACHINE SETTINGS AS REQUIRED

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd
root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or
use filler wire 3/32).
Weld the pipe in the Horizontal holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the pipe
is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest of
the pipe using the stringer bead technique. Weld beads from lower pipe (bottom) to top
pipe.
The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.
The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.
The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

PRACTICES PIPE 03
PRACTICE NAME PIPE VERTICAL POSITION
PROCESS SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40
POSITION VERTICAL 5G PIPE
FILLER SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6
MACHINE SETTINGS AS REQUIRED

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd
root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or
use filler wire 3/32).
Weld the pipe in the 5G Vertical holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the
pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest
of the pipe using the weave bead technique.
The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.
The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.
The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.

PRACTICES PIPE 04
PRACTICE NAME 45 DEGREE INCLINED 6G PIPE POSITION
PROCESS SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40
POSITION 6G PIPE
FILLER SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6
MACHINE SETTINGS AS REQUIRED

Technique: Set the proper amperage and tack weld two pieces of pipe with a 1/8 or 3/32nd
root opening in 4 places as directed by Instructor. (Use size of electrode without flux or
use filler wire 3/32).
Weld the pipe in the 6G position holding the indicated angle around the pipe, until the
pipe is welded complete. Weld the root pass with E-6010 then use E-7018 to weld the rest
of the pipe using the weave bead technique.
The Root pass should penetrate into the pipe a minimum of flush to a maximum of 1/8.
The weld should not extent past the original groove face more than 1/8 on each side.
The weld should not be more than 1/8 high on the face of the pipe.
