PIPE FLAT POSITION

SMAW SCH 80 GTAW SCH 40
FLAT 1G PIPE
SMAW E-6010 E-7018 OR GTAW ER-70S-6
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 E7018.
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.

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.

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.
