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
#7 cup stubby gas lens
20 -25 cfh argon flow rate
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.
