  • do what? omg, u must be union, LOL

  • No we not Union, but we are all held to the same high quality and same "procedures" on welding.

    And to add a little stress to it all, if you get 3 repairs on that job site you're out of the money till you roll on anther. Oh, most gas companies if not all keep track of your everything you do, attendance, sick time, repairs, compliance to safety, it goes on.......

  • that looks like it took 2 days to finish, well the root pass, then another 2 days for the hot pass..

  • No bead is a 5/32 6010++ and or 1/8 6010++ you get approx 6" of travel depending on fit, after that its 3/16 all the way out. Code is 9 pass min.

    It takes on 0.988 wall 6 to 7.5 hours. myself and welding partner knocked one out in 4.5 Hours

see all
