Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

Ok, so before I saw your post Rusty I dropped off the tubing to a welding shop because my buddy's shop was extremely busy. I asked them to tig w/ back purge ( which didn't throw them). I then told my buddy later in the day and they were just shaking their heads. That's because the thermal contracting can change everything up to a half inch..

Long story short... I called the welding shop and asked them to tack it only. I felt bad.

When you got that many welds in a short section. You start at "A" and "B" and work towards the middle. But leave the middle alone. Weld everything up but the middle. That's where you put the final piece in and the final weld.

Pie cuts look neat. But that's where you will have most of your problems. Pipefitters try to avoid them as much as possible.

You and what my buddy are saying is about the exact same thing. Very cool to hear the same stuff from two people!
