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.
Wall thickness <3/4 in. (<20mm) Wall thickness >3/4 in. (>20mm)

Cellulosic All Position Stick (SMAW) Electrodes
Pipeliner 6P+ E6010 DC+ Pipeliner 6P+ is an all-position cellulosic pipe electrode 8
designed especially for vertical down root pass welding.
his electrode is based on a long-time favorite among
T
cross-country pipeline welders.
Pipeliner 8P+ E8010-P1 DC+ Here’s an electrode that makes short work of even the most 9
challenging high silicon pipe applications! Pipeliner 8P+ is an
outstanding choice for API 5L-X56 through X70 grade pipe. This
electrode features high stacking efficiency – formulated to carry and
deposit weld metal in difficult vertical down out-of-position
applications.
Low Hydrogen Stick (SMAW) Electrodes
Pipeliner 16P E7016 H4 DC+ We designed this quality electrode for optimum performance 10
AC for vertical up welding of pipe up to API 5L-X65 – especially
where a low hydrogen deposit is desired. Obtain Charpy
V-Notch impact values down to temperatures of -20°F (-29°C).
Pipeliner 18P E8018-G H4 DC+ A real workhorse for vertical up welding jobs up to X80 pipe! 11
AC Lincoln 18P offers low temperature impact properties down to
-50°F (-46°C).
