Welding pipe at an angle

Welding pipe at an angle

Welding pipe at an angle

(OP)
1.  I have a pipe with flange connected to it. The flange will be welded to the pipe at an right angle.

2.  This pipe/flange assembly will be inserted into the plate.  The pipe/flange assembly needs to be at an angle to the plate.

How can I accomplish this? Welding the pipe/flange assembly to the plate at an angle is too tough.  

I was thinking of putting a angled spacer between flange and plate to give it an angle.  Any ideas?

RE: Welding pipe at an angle

I'm sorry, that's _not_ a drawing.
It's barely a sketch.
It doesn't match the text within it, or the text you've supplied here.

No offense is intended, but you need to make a better drawing to show us what you're trying to do.  I'm guessing that you'll need at least two orthogonal views.

RE: Welding pipe at an angle

And maybe also include why you want to do it. If I understand correctly, can't you just weld the plate to the pipe and leave the flange free? You'll need to laser cut the hole profile on the plate and attach the flange after passing the pipe through the plate.

But still I'd want to know why you want to do this?

RE: Welding pipe at an angle

totally agree with the above comments,

also what conditions will the pipe be operating at?

Please do drop more information or knowledge you have on this subject they will all be taken in and appreciated.
