How to Fit and Weld Socket Welds in Various Fixed Positions

Instead of going to school, find a job as a helper, study these videos, n practice at work

Learn a whole lot faster like this

Why not use high frequency instead of scratch start? Seems like everyone in the USA uses scratch start.

Yo get that cameraman some gloves!! How come he don't get no PPE???

Very good explanation,. Good camera work also thumbs up

Fool didnt quarter his root. What a dumbass. Also on the 2nd socket he took away the rod and then reintroduced it to the puddle. That puts trash in there. U gonna teach people teach em right.

Great presentation, thin spring spacers are sometimes used to gap the pipe to fitting for thermal expansion... excellent demo..thank you for this educational resource.

Looking good!!

why don't turn the pipe and tack from the top the second one?😂

I have also come across welders who knock the outside corner off a framing square and use that.

New gloves?

915 chuco town 😎

Shell shoots for penetration on the first pass….

Need to turn that machine up another 80

Excellent Good Jobs My friend

Some of the stainless stuff out there, we use a mallet instead of a carbon hammer. 🙌

How the heck are you holding that torch so close to the cup? Are they water cooled? Have you burnt all the feeling out of your fingers?

El procedimiento de soldadura no lo están aplicando correctamente, la primera pasada ha de hacerse sin aportacion únicamente con el material de los 4 puntos de soldadura y así evitar que quede camara entre pasadas

Hey yo nice welds, parron my question what brand is the brown welding jacket please , I’d love to have the link. Thanks

Good job...thanks

Good fit, Nice welds! Every refinery I've worked has asked for 2 visible passes. Love that weave though.

Boa tarde
Tem como eu fazer um curso com vocês
Sou do Brasil

Can y’all do another video just like this but with a close up of his movements! Thank you! Great video btw

Excellent video!

Great welding! 👍

Thats a school!!! Trust me I the real world it's totally different.. come out the the ship yard!!!

Do you have to account the 1/8 gap for the socket into the measurements or does it suck back once welded out

Cup size, Tungsten size, how much stick out and torch? CFH on argon mix?

DISCLAIMER: Watching these videos does not signify enough experience to apply as a welder or fitter anywhere. I really wish people would get the "fake it til you make it" mentality out of my line of work. Does nothing but devalue the trade.

Looks like you're scratch starting?

Hayudenme a trabajar con ustedes soy de Colombia son unos máster in tig

Thanks for this great video. I’m fitting socket welds at work for the first time ever with very little help from the journeymen. This video has helped me immensely🙏

❤ Processo TIG, parabéns pelo conteúdo... BR

Notice how they are NOT threaded with oil everywhere. Nice and clean. But using 70 series wire on cast to carbon?

Thanks guys. Great video. I live in Tampa area and can’t find a real pipe welding job out of school. I’m ready to work but nobody is serious about putting me to work. I have a 6G combo pipe cert. So now I ended up getting a job TIG welding mostly aluminum with a great company building LNG heat exchangers.

As an old timer constantly trying to up my game and technique, I have to say you boys have been a valuable resource for myself and the whole welding community..
hats off to y’all. 👍🏻👊🏻🇺🇸

Is this scratch start ?

What's size cup you use

What brand is your white welding helmet?

Ive seen people pull away as soon as they finish a tack/weld, why do they do this? I just let it slope down on its own?

aesthetically perfect welds, but a metalworking company would fail with your welding times

Good job bro

Excellent video David\Moya !!! I like how you give an explanation for all the steps that you perform. That helps everyone out.

Now y’all need to make a video on how to ring those welds.

A very good welder. I want to learn with you. I am from Algeria. I want a white welding mask. I like it

No Time to walk the cup in the real Life 😂 or if you dont have so Much at work

1/8th gap from where ?
