Welding is the process of joining two metal
pieces. In fact, this practice doesn’t merely join the pieces together as in
soldering or brazing but also causes the metal to amalgamate and become one.
When it comes to pipe welding, you should have a reliable pipe welding machine. Two basic rules can make this process much
easier. The first one of these is to set the machine correctly and the other
one is to make yourself comfortable. Let’s discuss more about these rules.
Proper
equipment setup
As a welder, you must never deviate from this
rule. A pipe welding machine requires you to set the equipment in any
position without the need to change any settings. For TIG or Stick welding, one
could alter the heat intensity with the arc length. For instance, when welding
at the pipe’s bottom you require more heat, you can increase the length of the
arc a little. This will improve the welding process appreciably. Vertical areas
can be short-arched a bit to lower the heat. Essentially, the pipe welding
equipment must be on such a setting that it enables you to weld in all positions
without altering the voltage or amperage.
Getting
in the most comfortable position
The level of comfort during pipe welding is
enough to separate a newbie from a seasoned welder. However, it is
unquestionably true that any of the professional or novice would have to work
in several uncomfortable situations. Pipes could either be underground or high
up and you may need to get creative to find the most comfortable position. The
easiest method would be to lean on a pipe. This would provide your hands and body
a steady platform to concentrate on the welding procedure. You
just need to be attentive and creative.
