The invention discloses a double-side double-arc welding process for a root layer of a pipeline, and the process comprises preparation before welding and backing welding. By utilizing the backing welding process of the double-side double-arc welding for the root layer of a pipeline disclosed by the invention, the inside and outside welding seams of the pipeline can be formed once, and the both surfaces of a molten pool for the pipeline are always in the protection of argon, so that the generation of air vents is avoided, the formation for the inside and outside welding seams of the pipeline is good, the dimensional requirements are relatively decreased due to assembly, the welding difficulty of welders is decreased, welding deformations are reduced, welding speed is increased, welding efficiency is increased, welding defects are reduced, energy and welding materials are saved, and welding cost is reduced. Simultaneously, by virtue of the design for the process parameters of a welding gun for the inside and outside of the pipeline, and under the action of the blowing force of double arcs, the flowability of metals in the molten pool is improved, the heat energy of the double arcs is adequately exerted, the penetration capacity is improved, and the welding characteristics of stainless steel are adapted, thus improving the quality of welding joints, and guaranteeing the welding quality.
