The fundamental classification of pipe welding positions rests on two primary variables: the (horizontal or vertical) and the location of the weld joint relative to the welder. This yields four principal positions: 1G (Rolled Horizontal), 2G (Horizontal Fixed), 5G (Vertical Fixed), and 6G (Inclined Fixed). Each position tests a different aspect of welding dexterity, from basic manipulation to advanced gravitational management.
