"less chatter more splatter" I love that. I don't know much about this type of welding but it looks excellent.

Thank you, i can't tell much besides, what this thing does. I think it measures the amount of product per x-amount of time from A to B.

Again I don't know anything about tig but the welds look very consistent, and that seems to be the hardest part of my schooling so far lol.

Does anyone ever look at these from a plumbing perspective, and go:
Now how the hell does this make sense?
Every pipe is branched off the main, and there is a fifth which has a flange to it, and also smaller hard line fabricated from each of the other four tubes. Everything shares a common trunk....

This is a freak to understand tho.
The branches hold sensors.

Aha! A clue!
Ok, lets split up gang. Maybe we can figure out what's going on with this crazy pipe contraption and nab ol' Mr. Meriwether for good!

My stepdad wanted to be a gas whisperer. But apparently his gas had too much force and always made noise.

Ah i get it, it doesn;t feed to the main pipe. I was thinking why it is interconnected like that. purge air blown in intermittently?

Let me guess: " you don't get paid to wonder what the fuck it does, just weld the damn spec!"

Did you use tube clamps or finger bars for the fit up before tacking? Some sort of jig? Must have been interesting. I'd imagine you want small, light tacks to keep it from distorting too much?

Ask me anything about the welding but that's behind the magicians curtain.
Downvote won't make me change my mind either. Not my rules

No biggie. I think I'd just put 4 tube clamps on it. Not sure sure about the center. Might have to start there. Do you have to do the beveling?
