Title: (Optional) Perform 1G, 2G, 5G, and 6G SMAW on pipe.
Course: Welding III (13207-III) > Section: Demonstrating Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Pipe Welding

Performance should include

- conducting a visual inspection (inside and outside)
- ensuring the weld is complete and presentable
- maintaining a melt-through on the root and minimum reinforcement on the cover (build-up) of the pipe.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What should one look for during a visual inspection?
- What is the difference between 1G and 5G pipe positions?
- Why will amperage requirements vary between positions?
- Which is better for the root pass, E6010 or E7018?  Why?
