Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As the weld passes over the top of the pipe and starts downhill, the best choice is to change to a backhand angle that will increase to approximately a 45° angle. This is because the backhand angle provides better control and penetration for downhill welding. Choice A (forehand) is not suitable for downhill welding as it is used for uphill welding. Choice C (perpendicular) and D (right) are not suitable for welding angles as they are not specific angles used for welding.
