thanks for the welding job info.

for the 2 inch heavy wall, if it were me, i would not try to walk the cup on the root...unless thats all you know.

you will be changing body position pretty quickly and free handing while propping with your glove will let you move better. If you are not used to doing this, you might just stick with what you know.

the main tip other wise is take your time.

let it cool for several minutes between passes.

watch your amperage until you have several passes in.


be careful on your hot pass..it really shouldnt be called a hot pass since it should be run about the same amperage as your root.

a big problem on this test is sucking back the root on the hot pass...so just watch the heat.

check ahead of time if there is a distortion requirement....welding from bottom to top that many passes can really draw the pipe a lot.

good luck bro, and thanks for the post.
