INFORMATION:

Groove weld (Vertical Uphill Position)

Vertical welding has the advantage of moving faster than the other positions. However, the 3G
position also makes penetrating the metal more difficult.

This 3G reprints the position and weld edge preparation type used to designate the weld
position for qualifications. 3G means Vertical up weld progression for butt weld with groove
edge preparation. The welder uses the metal from the
lower parts of the test piece and some superficial
tension to perform welding against the force of
gravity, while aiming the torch at around 45º.

Welding tong

Chipping hammer

PROCEDURE

1. Prepare the work place

a. Prepare your PPE
b. Prepare the materials
c. Set the machine

2. Make a preparation in the 2 plates or simply bevel.

2.1 Use grinder to bevel it on exactly 30 degree each plate
2.2 Make sure that the root face measure same as the diameter of the electrode

3. After making groove angle tack to the plate but make sure that has a root
opening like the diameter of electrode.

4. Then after you set up your groove preparation. Start

the first pass using E6011 and your technique.
4.1 Then fill pass to cap pass use E7018

5. Make sure that your weld is pass to standard

6. If you are done clean it by the use of steel brush and chipping hammer

7. After that turn off the machine and clean the workplace
