  1. Not certified, but I know that to pass the test you need weld buildup inside the pipe, plus 100% penetration. You will get neither without a gap, plain and simple.

  2. No he is not a pipe welder.He is a boilermaker also.Are you a pipe welder?

  4. Hello,Calling all and any experienced pipie welders.I am a boilermaker by trade and have welded plenty of boiler tubes.However we always tig weld the root pass.I find myself in the awkward position of having to adapt to welding a root pass with 6010.Any tips,suggestions would be appreciated.I have a good opportunity here and I don't want to blow it.I have been practicing on 6" sch40.I learned a lot from my first coupon, such as the importance of the fit-up especialy the amount of land. Ihave been leaving a 1/16 gap but a friend told me to slam the joint together and bury the rod.Any sugestions would be greatly apreciated.I really need this job.Thanks
