To standardize training and qualification, the American Welding Society (AWS) and ASME have defined . Each position has a specific number and letter code (e.g., 1G, 3F, 6G).
If you are new to welding, you might assume that all welding is done on a flat table with the weld running horizontally. In reality, welders are often asked to join metal on a vertical wall, overhead, or even at a 45-degree angle inside a pipe. different welding positions
Remember: A great welder isn't defined by how well they weld in the flat position, but by how consistently they perform in the 6G position. To standardize training and qualification
