In rolled welding (1G), gravity helps you. In position welding (5G, 6G, 2G), gravity is your enemy. Here is how the variables change:

Tag a welder who makes 6G look easy. 👇 pipe position welding
The 4 main positions you need to know: 🔹 Pipe rotates. Axis is horizontal. Easiest. 🔹 2G (Horizontal Fixed): Pipe is horizontal, but you cannot roll it. Weld axis is vertical. Tricky puddle control. 🔹 5G (Vertical Fixed): Pipe is vertical. You weld around the circumference horizontally. Requires stepping techniques. 🔹 6G (Inclined – 45°): The gold standard certification. Pipe is fixed at 45°. Combines overhead, vertical, and flat welding.
refers to joining pipes in fixed orientations (horizontal, vertical, or inclined). Unlike rolled welds, the welder must fight gravity, adjust travel speed, and change rod angles constantly. In rolled welding (1G), gravity helps you

Welding a pipe on a bench in the 1G (rolled) position is one thing. Welding it in the field where you can’t rotate it? That is the true test of craftsmanship. 👇 The 4 main positions you need to
