Calculating welding volume
Calculating welding volume
(OP)
Does anybody knows any formulas to calculate the amount of welding material used when welding pipe. The used weld is a V-shape and a X-shape weld.
I want to calculate the amount of material when welding pipe. I know the pipe diameter and the wall thicknes.

All it takes is a little trigonometry and simple algebra. It would take 20 minutes to set this up. Why do you need to know the volume of weld metal?

May I ask the reason for this?

I don't know who O. Bridgette is, but the book you refer to is written by Omer Blodgett.

The book is $15.00 and well worth it.
PS: The book was $3.00 when I bought my first copy.

At that price, was it still in hieroglyphics with hand-carved block engraving, or had Gutenburg finished the second edition yet? 8<)

I need to volume because I know the average volume per hour per welder. So when I know my total volume I can calculate the number of manhours needed to complete the weld.

Thank you very much you've been very helpfull.

RE: Calculating welding volume
He tried another scheme to measure productivity by having each welder puts his stubs in bucket to weigh against the amount issued. His intent was to prorate the pay depending on the amount of weld deposited. He used this system for about 6 months until his accountant show him that welding costs were appreciably high. The welders were burning the electrodes right up to the holder and burning the holders up.
