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. In position welding (5G, 6G, 2G), gravity is your enemy. Here is how the variables change: pipe position welding
⚡ 1G (Rolled): Flat. Easy mode. ⚡ 2G (Horizontal fixed): Wall welding. ⚡ 5G (Vertical fixed): The "Christmas tree" weave. ⚡ 6G (Inclined 45°): The destroyer of egos. refers to joining pipes in fixed orientations (horizontal,
