Jul 7, 2023 · Know all types of welding positions and joint types. It reveals four welding positions and joint types such as 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G and 6G/6GR.

This video is a step by step demonstration on how to prepare, assemble, and weld a Horizontal Single-Bevel Groove weld with a Backing Bar. This is a project I use in my intermediate SMAW course....

This video shows the proper progression to complete a full penetration weld using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick) process in the 2G horizontal position with an open root. The root is done...

Oct 24, 2015 · This video shows you how to perform a code quality root pass using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (Stick, SMAW) process in the 2G horizontal groove position ...

Jan 22, 2025 · The 2G position in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as Stick Welding, is a horizontal welding position. This position is commonly referred to as the horizontal position because the weld axis is in a horizontal plane.

SMAW 2G (Horizontal) Test Assembly Joint Design SMAW 2G Technique Tips. To increase the penetration and fusion at the root of groove welds it can be helpful to set the amperage towards the higher end of the usable range for the electrode when testing in the horizontal position.

Jan 16, 2021 · 2g smaw 2g weld test practice please provide criticism of pictures I used 1/8 7018 rod 135 on root 140 on hot pass 115 on fill an cap gap was 1/4 on 3/8 material Sent from my LGL455DL using Tapatalk

The document provides instructions for welding carbon steel pipes in the 2G position using SMAW, including how to perform the root pass, subsequent filling passes, and capping. It describes proper open root pass penetration, weaving techniques, interpass cleaning, and the number of passes and layers required.

Oct 2, 2023 · Since the welding specification is made up of a number and letter pair, it’s easy to break it down and define each of them individually. The number is the easiest. Different welding specification standards, like AWS, ASME, and ISO, have different names for their tables of data, but the general information is the same across the board.

Mar 8, 2024 · The document discusses various techniques for shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) of pipes. It describes the different pipe welding positions including 1G, 2G, 5G, 6G, 1F, 2F, 2FR, 4F, and 5F. For each position it provides details on electrode placement and whether to use a split bead or weave technique.
