I used to run weld certs for a fab shop. Our version of the "Arkansas Bellhole" test was 6" sch. 80 pipe, 6G position in a corner, 18" above the floor with a restrictor ring 1" from the weld joint. Separated the welders from the "daubers". Used to get a lot of "pipeliners", some of them had a hard time making the transition from vertical down to vertical up. At that time all pipeline welds outside the refinery fence were vert. down and everything inside the fence was vert. up. [Reply]   [No Email]

Once we completed all the requirements, we were allowed to play with 2-inch tube with a consumable insert in it. We had to place the tube 6-inches from the ceiling and 6-inches from the wall, and use a mirror to weld the back side. I would really like to learn how to Tig weld pipe with this method. Here is 6-G with restriction ring. Guy on the AWS forum posted this picture. [Reply]  [No Email]
