Question why 6g welding usally use for piping.How it helps for the welders to weld.
Answer THE 6 G POSITION IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ALL 4 PLATE POSITIONS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT YOU CAN SORTA GET AN IDEA OF FLAT,HORIZONAL,VERTICAL, AND OVERHEAD. TO ME, THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH TRAINING WELDERS IN THIS POSITION IS THAT A STUDENT GETS VERY GOOD LEARNING TO WELD IN THIS POSITION AND MOST WELD TEST ARE IN THIS POSITION, BUT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF SCHOOL YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO WELD IN ALL KINDS OF CONDITIONS AND POSITIONS. BELIEVE ME, THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND IT WAS QUITE INTEMIDATING. IF YOU ARE IN SCHOOL, ONCE YOU GET PRETTY GOOD WITH THE 6 G POSITION TRY PUTTING YOUR COUPON UNDER THE TABLE. ANYWHERE, WHEN YOU GET GOOD THERE TRY ANOTHER PLACE. tHIS WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER WELDER. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 TO 5 YEARS FOR A NEW WELDER TO GET TO REALIZE HIS BEST SKILL LEVEL. bY THIS TIME YOU WILL HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING.bUT THERE WILL BE TIMES YOU MAY FEEL YOU NEED HELP. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS 32 YEARS AND EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. ANY TIME YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING, TRY ANYWAY, YOU MIGHT JUST SUPRISE YOURSELF. ALSO, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK SOMEONE FOR SUGESTIONS OR HELP. WE ALL STARTED OUT JUST LIKE YOU!
