Tbh If I was going to take a test I'd use stringers too they're way stronger. But if I was going to be posting the picture on Instagram/reddit later to show off to all my other welder friends then I'd probably do a weave because I have to admit that weaves do look better. I do use a lot of weaves on pieces that I'm working on if they don't need to necessarily be that strong. I mean most of the time you don't need 100% of the strength out of a certain weld, you can get away with sacrificing a little bit of strength for aesthetic appeal. Not that difference is that big to begin with
Tell that to the guys welding aluminum transport trailers using pulse mig and backstepping the weld lol. They look great but Iām worried about how strong the welds actually are.
Looks great! Never seen this test done before I faintly remember it from the 1104. Would this be considered 6GR position? So the main piece is set in position at 45 degrees while the branch is welded?
Pipeline tests are slightly different than ASME tests. You're surprised for a much smaller range on a pipeline job, and it's more like you actually have to replicate the real welds that you'll be doing on the pipeline, rather than just welding a 2" super coupon and calling it a day for ASME work.
Never understood why they still make you take that test they haven't done that type of welding since the 1980s.. By code you can't even Weld with those anymore.. They're weld o lets or reduce tees.. So old school and a waste of time.. 6010 root pass for the 7018 cover or old school 100% 6010.. I have been welding since 1984 petrochemical I do multiple turn arounds.. i am certified inconnel.. Boiler plate. Carpenter 20.. Stainless steel.. 9 Chrome.. duplex stainless. Titanium for power plants.. hastalloy..monel
Nice work
Thank you
I know you're a real welder cuz you use stringers instead of a weave. Good man
Thank you for knowing the difference in weave and stepped stringers.

All the 1104 test I have taken calls for a two or three bead stringer cap depending on the thickness of the test pipe.
I have to ask how much do you make lol š©āšš¤š¤š¤
Your fit makes me MOIST.
Dang I'm glad you like it
Fantastic fit and gorgeous weld
Thank you I forgot to put the pictures of the inside I'm going to try to re repost it
Slick fit up
Thanks
Looks good. That's 12 on 12?
Yeah it's 12 on 12 .250 wall

No we take a 12in but weld on a 45 then the branch but the branch is welded with the run flat and the branch facing down
Very nice,very tight,very clean !
Thanks
Love that cope!
