You did not indicated the thickness of the pipe. For thinner gage material or root passes the controlled short circuit transfer of Miller RMD or Lincoln STT can be advantageous. These power sources also provide pulse modes which can be used on cover passes or thicker material. Chris Anderson Motoman Inc.
