Welding speed rates
Welding speed rates
(OP)
Does anyone know of a quick reference for estimating weld time? Everything I'm finding involves calculations which I'm certainly able to do but it seems like to me there should be a table somewhere that says for a 1/4" fillet weld they can do an average of "X" inches per hour.
Problem is I have a change order from a contractor claiming they can only do 8" of 3/16" weld per hour. This doesn't even seem in the ballpark to me even accounting for setup time. (I could see that maybe they might only get 8" done the first hour, but they're saying this is the rate for 45 hours).
Thanks in advance.

BUT IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO GET PERMITS, SCAFFOLDING, INSPECTION, YADA YADA.
Field contractors take a long time compared to shops

I think your Contractor is taking you for every dollar they can (assuming a change order).
