How you do tack welds on ss pipe line?? I mean that oxidation inside the pipe 2mm x 50mm pipe food factory. Is it so litle/fast tack so it wont sugar??

In the U.S., food-grade welding is usually done with no gap and no bevel, and yes, the tacks are usually small and fast. It helps to have a pre-flow to flood the area of the tack with argon before the arc, and a very short burst at high power will fuse the surface without even getting the inside to red-heat.
Someone with more food grade experience will likely speak up, and guide you better than I.
