: Ensure both pipe ends have a perfectly square and even cut. A chopsaw with a checked 90-degree backstop is commonly used for this.
In rolled welding (1G), gravity helps you. In position welding (5G, 6G, 2G), gravity is your enemy. Here is how the variables change: pipe position welding
Create a simple diagram or take a photo showing: : Ensure both pipe ends have a perfectly square and even cut
: Use a square or level to double-check that the pipes haven't shifted during tacking. Adjustments should be made while the tacks are still warm. 4. Final Weld Positions Once tacked, the pipe is welded in a specific orientation: pipe position welding
: Ensure the internal edges of both pipes are flush with each other. Misalignment (high-low) can weaken the joint. 3. Tack Welding
