Estimate Time to Weld Stainless

Estimate Time to Weld Stainless

Estimate Time to Weld Stainless

(OP)
I am double checking a price from a sub.  How much time should I estimate for welding 10 gauge 316 stainless steel?  The end product is an ASME pressure vessel.  Also, if the material thickness is increased to 3/8 inches, is there an increase in time to weld? (Minutes/foot?)

RE: Estimate Time to Weld Stainless

Ah,

How large are the weldments?  What is the joint geometry?  What process is being used to make the welds(GTAW, SMAW, GMAW, FCAW-G?)

How many welders are working simultaneously?(if this is a large vessel)

Need to know many more details before anyone can formulate an answer to your question...
