Or which ever code they use to do a regular test for tig/7018

Whete can I find the welding codes and procedures to follow for ASME section IV and AWS D1.1

When on the road for long job can't u rent a place and hav ur family with u. Or does that never work out?

Thanks yall, that really makes sense. Id love to make that kimd of money. That's why I'm getting in to this. On my prep should I put at least a 1/16 land to help prevent suckback. Iv been reading welding principal an applications.? Also, what about doin hot passes without adding filler, does that se...

Anybody kno of some type of jig u can make to get perfect bevels with a grinder everytime. Ive seen one on welding Web but I dont hav a dremmel tool and it seems like the carbide tungsten bit wud wear out real fast on sch 40 pipe

You should call everlast themselves, ill bet u money u can get them to come down on price. I got mine 75 xheaper plus tbey paid for the fifty dollar shipping. I was talking to everlast also an they were willin to comw down but I had alreadt bought the longevity

I bought a longevity tig 200 its DC only but it stick welds pretty good, customer support is excellent, it had a couple minor probs like the foot pedal didnt work but they sent me another fast. Other than that for the price its an excellent welder.

how can I go to work for the union

Thaks ill def b on it tomorrow. Ill try both ways big gap andmove fasteron the 3/32.
I def need morez pratice. But its nice bn able to do it at home whenever I want.
where do you work and do you make really good money?
if you don't mind me asking

Thank you Alexa, I added u as friend.if ok. Ill give it a shot.
Up til now, I've never had suck back. My bevels weren't right, I had to much
Angle. But then I grabbed a couple 6 inch coupons that were machine
Beveled from the power plant used for testing, and I had alot of trouble.

Snyone got any tips on incomplete penetration or internal concavity on cs pipe. I welded one
Side with 3/32 gap and root and iwas incomplete on some parts,
the parts that werent were sucked back

To alexa, on the root pass, I noticed suck back
And some incomplete penetration. so I didn't run a second

Using the lay wire, do u just walk over the filler or do u shove in a little as u walk over it. Cause ive heard Jody say keep downward pressure so I thought u just walk over it. I think my heat is around 80 so I figured is was cold enough for sch. 40. I will post this on tig too thanks ppl for ur re...

How is everyone. Glad to be here, this is an awesome forum with lots of knowledgeable welders. I love tig, done ss sheet metal for awhile. Doin cs pipe on my own now. I am getting internal concavity. Using 3/32 gap with same filler. Should I use bigger gap and filler or same size fill with big gap? ...
