Heat opposite of headder?

 

[Scott_D]

Opposite side of the pipe to the welded branch.
You can see the ribs in the pipe on that pic. Make sense?

 

[Ermintrude]

Ah I see . So run ribs in first?

 

[Scott_D]

Yeah if you do them inside the pipe.
Work through the hole you have cut.

 

[Ermintrude]

How many ribs is there a formula? Rule of thumb?

watched a welder last year securing some plugs/rods into our keel, stainless steel, as the previous ones had all failed! He was one of the lads welding up our nuclear subs for babcocks I think, as ever its the preparation but once he finished the job you could only just see the weld!! sad to say the boat came back fm refit and the keel had come off and on again, so now we have 10 splatter points waiting to fail.

Rule of thumb - try and get the same amount of heat into the ribs as the weld.
So if you think a 2" branch will take 6 rods, use 6 rods on the ribs

If he worked for babcock then most of his day would of been sleeping and eating

Love all the copper! Nice use of heat mats on ply...... One burn ruins all that work

thats what happens when you leave apprentices to get on with the job!!!

Nice n neat , really neat pipework but youl have to issue your apprentice with a heat mat, i always use ply where i can, its extra work but looks neat and makes clipping easy, good job missplumb
