This particular test is TIG all the way out.  Root, fill, and cap all done with ER70S6 1/8" filler wire.

My friend Andrew Cardin shows us the freehand technique on a 6g pipe test.

If you have ever tried a test like this before, you know that it gets pretty hot  before you get finished.

Andrew uses a TIG finger to prop on this 6g weld test so he can focus on the weld without being distracted by his knuckles burning. 

This is a 6g weld test on 2 inch schedule 80 pipe.

1/8" gap with zero land

 95-100 amps

3/32" 2% lanthanated tungsten

1/8" ER70S6 filler

Generally speaking, smaller diameter pipe like 2 inch is more difficult to weld in 6g position due to constant repositioning.

But 2 inch pipe welding tests are common and can get you a good job so it pays to practice.
