What does 5G define in welding positions?

Explanation:
In pipe welding, positions are defined by the orientation of the pipe and the weld around it. The 5G designation refers to a fixed pipe-welding position where the pipe axis is horizontal and you complete a groove weld all around the circumference of the pipe. This orientation is characteristic of a circumferential, 360-degree weld on a horizontal pipe, not a groove weld on a flat plate or in a vertical/on-vertical setup. So the choice describing a fixed, horizontal pipe with a groove weld around it best matches what 5G defines.
