In rolled welding (1G), gravity helps you. In position welding (5G, 6G, 2G), gravity is your enemy. Here is how the variables change:

The 4 main positions you need to know: 🔹 Pipe rotates. Axis is horizontal. Easiest. 🔹 2G (Horizontal Fixed): Pipe is horizontal, but you cannot roll it. Weld axis is vertical. Tricky puddle control. 🔹 5G (Vertical Fixed): Pipe is vertical. You weld around the circumference horizontally. Requires stepping techniques. 🔹 6G (Inclined – 45°): The gold standard certification. Pipe is fixed at 45°. Combines overhead, vertical, and flat welding. In rolled welding (1G), gravity helps you
⚡ 1G (Rolled): Flat. Easy mode. ⚡ 2G (Horizontal fixed): Wall welding. ⚡ 5G (Vertical fixed): The "Christmas tree" weave. ⚡ 6G (Inclined 45°): The destroyer of egos. Option 1: Educational (Best for LinkedIn or Training

refers to joining pipes in fixed orientations (horizontal, vertical, or inclined). Unlike rolled welds, the welder must fight gravity, adjust travel speed, and change rod angles constantly.
