should be able to perform cleaning root pass in 6G pipe following WPS in
accordance with AWS Codes

Equipment : Portable grinder with Grinder, Cutting,

and Brushing discs

Steps/Procedure:
1. Wear prescribe PPE.
2. Remove the foreign materials found in the prepared 6G pipe
tacked in the positioner by the use of steel brush and necessary
tools prescribe for cleaning.
3. Clean it with a cutting disc grinder after having a pass with a
stop or in every stops of root passing that is the end point of the
weld next to the keyhole. The purpose there is to prevent slag
inclusions causing leaks, and this is also called tie-end

brush in having a complete round root pass.
5. Clean the weld with a grinder installed with a wire brushing
disc and brush it up and down and side to side motion.
6. Locate loops and other form of defects and slags if seen so then
excessive grinding with a grinding disc is in need to excavate
