Can You Pass a 6G TIG Weld Test? Pipe Welding Tips to PASS Every Time

Can you pass a 6G TIG weld test? In this video, I break down the full TIG welding procedure for a 6G weld test on 2" XXH pipe — including root pass, fill passes, and a clean multi-pass cap. The 6G position places the pipe at a 45-degree angle, testing your ability to weld flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead in one fixed setup. You’ll see the complete workflow from start to finish: TIG root pass technique, hot pass control, fill strategy, and cap perfection. This demonstration follows ASME Section IX welder performance qualification (WPQ) essentials, giving you a realistic look at what’s required to pass a professional 6G certification test. Whether you're preparing for a welding test, improving pipe welding technique, or refining your TIG root skills, this breakdown will help you weld with confidence and consistency. #tigwelding #tig #6Gwelding #pipewelding #weldercertification #x3mtig None of these videos are recorded in a fancy shop surrounded by sponsorship banners! All of my videos are recorded at working sites in various locations and different welding positions. 90% of my welding projects in videos are x-rayed, and if you like to see hands-on projects, welcome!
