in 6G Position
Specification:
Welding process: SMAW
Welding position: Pipe in 6G
Weld Progression: Down – Up
Weld Polarity: DCEP
Root Opening: 3/32” to 1/8”
Groove Angle: 60 degrees
Materials: 6” diameter/Schedule 40 pipe
Electrodes: E6010/E7018
Safety First: You are being
observed by the TESDA Assessor
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Welding Helmet
Welding Gloves
Welding Jacket (overall)
Safety Shoes
Cut an even and straight edge
Bevel the edges evenly
Use angle grinder to trim the edges
Bevel = 30 degrees
Root face = 3/32” or 1/8”
Set pipes on a V-block(angle
bar)
Deposit 4 tack welds
Top
Bottom
Tack weld
Use E6010 DCEP
Set current to 90 amperes
Insert spacer 3/32” or 1/8”
Deposit 4 tack welds
Weld opposite each tack to prevent
misalignment
Deposit ¾” long tack weld at the bottom of
your pipe
Grind the tack weld flush to the groove face
using an angle grinder
Use cutting disc when you need to correct the
root gap/opening
Position your pipe on the welding
jig
Welding Hand Tools
Chipping Hammer
Tong
Steel Brush
Angle Grinder
Steel file

Tips: in performing root
pass
Use E6010 1/8”
DCEP polarity set up
Set current at minimum( 1/8” = 90
amperes) – test arc
Adjust accordingly depending on your
preference
Begin at the bottom welding up
Make sure your stance is comfortable so
you can support yourself while welding
Tips: in performing root
pass
Make sure you can see the weld puddle
Maintain a short arc and concentrate on
the root gap
Ensure root pass penetration
Point your rod to the center of the pipe
to melt both edges
Push the rod inside the pipe so the arc
is in the inside when welding
Tips: in performing root
pass
The sound of the electrode burning should
be coming from the inside of the pipe
If burn hole occurs, stop weld to prevent it
from getting bigger.
Skip the burn hole, continue weld pass
Return to the burn hole after cleaning the
slag
Clean the root pass and repair burn holes if
there are any.
Tips: in performing root
pass
Slow down your speed of travel for the
root pass, if the keyhole is large your
amperage is too high.
