Anyone want to share there joint preperation for 1.5" SCH10? I plan on welding it in a single pass and want some guidance.

Here is what I was thinking. Is this a good start, or is my landing and angle off?



Justin

 

you are putting too much thought into it. i just eyeball it.

 

I use a 30* angle, but the difference of 5* here isn't going to be dick. I use a 20 thou landing just like you have drawn as well.

 

Its top secret, or else I would post pics.

Do you guys leave a gap when tacking together SCH10? I was planning on butting the landings up together with no gap.

Justin

 

No need to gap with sch10 with a .020" landing.

If you find it difficult to get full penetration, then yes, do it. *BACK PURGE TOO*

You should be good w/o it though, or if you do, just a [pejorative] hair is all you need.
