What weld gap for 6in schedule 40 carbon steel pipe (6010 stick)
Im practicing for my ua-1 but I get confused by what weldgap my pipe should have because some people say an 1/8 others say a 1/16 or 1/32. Can my pipe be any of these gaps, does it matter, do they have pros or cons over eachother? Is it bad to have a 1/32 weld gap? Because for me that is the easiest to weld because I don't burn a hole that often but I am still able to get good penetration. I also know my landing has to be the same as my weld gap. and im a plumber. Also a additional note my training instructor told me that a 1/32 weld gap does not need a landing for downhill welding, is that true because it sounded weird. Thanks
