About The Lincoln

Electric Company

Lincoln Electric is the world’s premier

manufacturer of welding equipment and

consumables. No company on earth is

more focused on the ever-changing

needs of the welding

professional. Our business is all about

helping companies make their welding

operations more effective, more

efficient, more profitable.

Lincoln is truly your “One Source” when

it comes to welding. We’re a company

that continually rededicates itself to the

equally important goals of exceptional

quality, and exceptional service. Our

field support team –– with hundreds of

field sales engineers and thousands of

knowledgeable and responsive Lincoln

distributors in countries all over the

world –– is the

largest in the industry.

Innovative thinking. A quality and

service-first attitude. Fresh

approaches to design, manufacturing,

and packaging. Worldwide strength.

That’s Lincoln Electric.

Pipeliner®– The Clear Choice For

Pipe Welding

Pipeliner is the world’s premier group of pipe welding
consumables.

Pipeliner is Lincoln Electric’s family of premium Stick (SMAW),
MIG (GMAW), Flux-Cored (FCAW) and Submerged Arc (SAW)
consumables developed specifically to meet the rigorous
demands of the global pipe welding industry. They are the most
thoroughly tested pipe welding consumables on the market
today.

Consistent performance

Performance consistency tops the list of what contractors want
from pipe consumables – and Pipeliner delivers. Lincoln Electric’s
Pipeliner manufacturing operations throughout the world are
tightly controlled, and routinely pass quality-assurance audits
by agencies and pipe welding professionals. This extraordinary
emphasis on the integrity of Pipeliner’s manufacturing processes
results in consumables with unmatched performance characteris­tics and consistency.

All Pipeliner products are lot-controlled and lot-tested, with actual
certified test results.

Packaging to meet the pipe industry’s needs

The world’s best pipe electrodes deserve to be protected
accordingly. So, Pipeliner electrodes are packaged in
hermetically-sealed, moisture-resistant containers that ensure
consistent performance — even when stored in the harshest
environments.

Global support

Pipe contractors need to mobilize and deploy resources quickly
and efficiently — no matter to what corner of the world the next
job calls them. That’s why Lincoln Electric’s global network of
manufacturing and distribution facilities is such an important part
of the Pipeliner story. Wherever your project, Lincoln is there with
the products and support you need.

2

Complete pipe solutions from the name you trust.

By partnering with a single, comprehensive welding resource,
pipe contractors find that they can improve efficiencies and
maintain strong accountability.

For many of the world’s most successful pipe contractors,
Lincoln Electric has become that single-source welding partner.
Why? Because Lincoln offers an exceptional array of well­designed and well-built pipe welding products, as well as the
deepest pool of welding expertise and experience on earth.

Behind those products and that expertise is Lincoln’s unique
total process engineering approach to welding. It means that
every Pipeliner consumable has been designed to work in
harmony with all other Lincoln Electric pipe welding products —
every Lincoln Electric wire feeder, power source, gun and cable
assembly and accessory has been engineered with an eye on
efficient, synergistic, system-wide performance.

That translates to less downtime, improved production rates,
and higher profit potential on every pipe project.

Joint Design

A customary joint preparation is commonly called an "API"
fitup. While this is not actually an API 1104 requirement,
the figures shown in the specification are drawn to have a
60 degree included angle with a 1/16" (1.6 mm) land and
1/16" (1.6 mm) gap.

Recommended joint preparation

Ultimate Ultimate

As an alternative, for thicker wall pipe (>3/4", >20 mm), a
compound bevel can be used. The amount of material
required to fill a compound bevel joint is less than a 60
degree included angle preparation, so productivity may be
increased.

Pipeliner 70S-G MIG wire electrode
is especially intended and pack­aged for the needs of semiauto­matic and automatic root pass pipe

elding. Delivering low hydrogen

w

deposits, 70S-G exhibits an extremely
fluid puddle for outstanding wash-in
at the weld toes and uniform bead
shape. Well-suited for use on
API 5L-X56 through X70 pipe.

ADVANTAGE LINCOLN

• Clean weld deposit.

• Uniform bead shape.

•Fluid puddle provides good wash-in
at the weld toes.

• Manufactured to actual lot control
and testing. Actual certificates of
conformance are available upon
request.

• Foil bag packaging guards against
moisture.

• Manufactured under a quality sys­tem certified to ISO 9001 require­ments.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Primarily intended for all-position
root pass welding on pipe steels
such as API 5L, 5L-X56 through
5L-X70

• Capable of consistent x-ray quality
welds.

• Typical applications include high­yield pipe steels.

TEST RESULTS

Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from
a weld produced and tested according to prescribed standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in
a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, weld
procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by
qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the
intended application.
