Butt welded? Hehehe. Nope.


Harry, you crack me up. Like your politics, you seem to think that only
what you believe or have personal experience in is the "only" way to do
things.

Yes. Butt welded.

A welding technique commonly used to join two sections of tubing or
manifolding.
Used in simple structural assemblies as well as chemical, gas, vacuum and
nuclear manifolding.

The ends of the sections to be joined are weld prepped, grinding the edges
at angles, then TIG welded at 100 percent root penetration. The weld seams
can then be ground and polished for cosmetic purposes to create the
appearance of a continuous section of piping. What's the big deal? It's
basic welding.

Simple and basic only because you have had the pleasure of associating
with non union welders who take pride in their workmanship. Welders who
know that every payday depends on his earning his pay, not just showing
up to punch the clock.
Unions are responsible for obstructing America's ability to be
competitive in the world marketplace.

I rank unions right up there with liberals, democrats, and lazy slugs
like Harry.
