Tube test

[Ewan1984]

I have been offered a tube test on Monday just wondering what this would consist of as I have never even done a weld test before I just posted my cv and got a call about this
Any advice would be good

 

[Tigman]

have they specified a position ie 5G or 6G ? what process Tig , Stick , Mig ?

 

[Ewan1984]

No I emailed back to ask what process etc just I don't have very much experience only welded smaller diameter pipes on a jig at my current job but this was all on my cv just have no idea what to expect didnt think I would get a reply

 

[Ewan1984]

Email back just says it will be mig welding nothing else about the test

Ewan, what does the company manufacture

 

[Ewan1984]

It is an engineering company so a wide variety from gates and handrails to pontoons water tanks and some big structures built in workshop then built out on site

tube test

This doesn't sound like a 5/6g butt joint to me. I've never heard of it been called a "tube test" before. That's an open root pipe butt joint.
My guess would be it will be as you say a quick whipping round some bits of tubing.
Now I might make that sound easy but depending on gage, position and joint type it can be challenging if you've not done much before.
