From pipe welder tig shirt to proven skill: Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding

If you take pride in a clean rig and a clean bead, this is the reference that backs it up. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills pipe work into clear, repeatable steps—so your roots tie in, your caps wash even, and your welds pass inspection. Whether you’re walking the cup in 2G, 5G, or 6G on carbon, stainless, or nickel alloys, you’ll set heat, gas, and filler with purpose instead of guesswork.

Written by AWS‑certified instructors and reviewed by CWIs, the guide focuses on what moves the needle in the field: parameter windows that actually hold, fit‑up that controls distortion, and purge strategies that stop sugaring at the source. You’ll get quick‑read charts for tungsten size and geometry, cup/gas‑lens selection, flow rates, and travel speed; step‑by‑step procedures for joint prep, root pass, hot pass, and caps; and troubleshooting playbooks for porosity, lack of fusion, and undercut. It’s practical, code‑aware, and built to shorten your path to consistent X‑ray‑quality welds.

• Root pass mastery: gap, land, feather, purge volume, and amps matched to position—so tie‑ins disappear.
• Dialed parameters: tungsten, cup, gas blend, and pulse settings that stabilize the puddle in tight quarters.
• Field‑proof checklists: preheat/interpass, filler selection (ER70S‑2, ER308L, ER309L), and sequence for fast, clean caps.
