?Describe how the end of a pipe is to be prepared for welding.

What will be an ideal response?


?The ends of pipe are beveled to between 30° and 35° to form a 60° to 70° V-groove when they are put together, Figure 14-1.  A small flat surface 1/16-in (1.6 mm) wide, called the root face or land, is ground or machined on the beveled edge.  Once the root face is ground, place the pipe on a smooth flat surface to see if it is flat.  Mark any areas that show a gap larger than 1/16-in (1.6 mm) so that the adjacent high area can be ground or filed off.  Repeat this process until the pipe end is even.
