Porosity Tig welding mild steel

Frequent porosity welding steel pipe root pass
-------------------------------------------------
make sure you are not using too much torch gas .
using a small cup with lots of gas flow will cause porosity.
also using too big a cup will make you have to extend your electrode too far and cause porosity.
usually a #5 or #6 cup with about 15 cfh works for a root pass but it all depends on the bevel angle and prep.
