Downhand pipe welding with Vantage....

admin

Hey guys/girls,I am looking for some input on downhand pipe welding with a Lincoln Vantage (300).I have been using my Lincoln Vantage 300 lately for some pipe welding while my SA-200 Redface and Shorthood are being rebuilt. I am doing a full rebuild on both and it will be a while before they are done.So in the meantime i will be using my Vantage 300 to weld pipe. Lets take the API-1104 6G test for example... what type of settings are you guys using? Not nessesarily what amperage you are using .... but,What setting... "CC-stick" or "Downhill pipe" ??What Arc-force setting for root?What Arc-force setting for hot pass?Arc-force setting for fill and cap?As well as any other tips/pointers you may have about downhand pipe welding with a Vantage 300.PS...This is only temporary until my SA-200's are rebuilt and back up and running.... so dont give me any sh!#Thanks in advance for your help.Steve,Steve1946 Shorthood  -  1958 Blackface  -  1962 Redface  -  1967 Redface  -  1968 Redface -  1970 Blackface  -  2005 300D -  2008 Vantage 300  -and a ton of other welding stuff
