tig or mig depending on the wall thickness

Copper to copper is either soft soldered, or silver soldered

Silver solder is a bad term as "solder" normally means lead content according to the AWS

Is it ok to weld gi pipe?

Gi weld not recommended . Because of gi coationg will be spoiled out . Puncture will be occur on the pipe weld .


What is the difference between a Butt weld and a socket weld?

A butt weld is where the diameter of the pipes welded together are the same, a socket weld is where a larger diameter pipe is fitted into a smaller one. In making a butt weld, the pipes (or pipe and fitting) usually have an angle machined or ground into the outside corner, so when they are placed together face-face, there is a circumferential V shaped gap serving as the weld prep. In a socket weld, the pipe is inserted into the socket, backed off slightly to make a gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the socket, and the weld is made around the outside diameter of the socket to the outside diameter of the pipe. The gap at the bottom of the pipe prevents thermal expansion from stressing the joint during or after welding.


How do you weld copper piping?

you solder or braze it


How many inches of weld on pipe?

The amount of weld on a pipe can vary significantly based on the application, pipe diameter, and welding process used. Typically, the weld length is determined by the joint design and the specifications of the project. For example, a full penetration butt weld may require a continuous weld along the joint, while a fillet weld may only need to cover a portion of the joint. Always refer to project specifications or standards for precise requirements.


How much pressure can copper take?

Are the joints brazed or soldered? What diameter is the tubing? When you say copper are you asking type K, L ,M , DWV , M or TP

Yes


How can I connect PEX to copper pipes?

To connect PEX to copper pipes, you can use a fitting called a PEX-to-copper adapter. This adapter typically has a PEX side that can be crimped or clamped onto the PEX pipe, and a copper side that can be soldered or brazed onto the copper pipe. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the appropriate tools for a secure and leak-free connection.


How can I effectively weld copper pipe for plumbing projects?

To effectively weld copper pipe for plumbing projects, you should clean the pipe and fittings thoroughly, apply flux to the joint, heat the joint evenly with a torch, and then solder the joint with a soldering iron. Make sure to practice proper safety precautions and follow manufacturer's instructions for the soldering materials.

Can gi pipe weld with ms?

Very likely to leak, zinc in the GI pipe will be contaiminating the weld and thus you cannot get a good weld.


What the difference between weldolet and thredolet?

A weldolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then butt weld a branch pipe to it. A tredolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then screw a threaded branch pipe to it. Some people call this a threadolet A sockolet is a fitting you weld on a (run) pipe, and then socket weld a branch pipe to it. A nipolet is the same as a weldolet or thredolet but has an elongated branch connection. You have to specify if it's a welded or threaded nipolet.


What is the holding pressure of a soldered copper pipe joint?

That would depend on the solder alloy 40/60 50 /50 95/ 5=Silver content Temperature of the medium flowing through the copper Silver brazed joints have a tenile strengh over 87,000 PSI=


In the 5G position for welding pipe the pipe must?

The pipe must be fixed (not rolled) in the horizontal position. With the pipe horizontal, the weld is vertical. The pipe being fixed requires the welder to weld flat (top), vertical (sides), and overhead (bottom). The pipe must be fixed (not rolled) in the horizontal position.

Composition of copper pipe?

Copper pipe is almost pure copper manufactured to the requirements of ASTM B 42 - Standard Specification for Seamless Copper Pipe, Standard Sizes. It may be manufactured from any of five (5) copper alloys (C10200, C10300, C10800, C12000, C12200) that all conform to the chemical composition requirements of alloys containing a minimum of 99.9% Copper (Cu) and a maximum of 0.04% Phosphorous (P). Available sizes are 1/8" to 12" diameters in regular wall thickness and 1/8" to 10" in extra strong wall thickness. The standard length for copper pipe is 12 feet. Copper pipe is suitable for plumbing, boiler feed lines, refrigeration and for similar purposes.Joints in seamless copper pipe can be threaded, flanged or brazed to fittings of the appropriate joint configuration.
