Shorts and DHC are both part of Bombardier, "all in the family".
Or at least they were, until the Belfast factory was sold to Spirit.
Not the designs apparently.
No (as it relates to welding gun angle).
Yes, as it relates to joint prep.

Gun angle is typically neither an essential nor non-essential variable in a WPS.
Sorry, but the problem that you're trying to solve really isn't clear.
When I ask my wife what she wants for dinner and the answer is "not Italian" I still don't know what she wants to eat.
In general, fittings can be attached to pipes or tubes by:
Threads
Welding
Brazing/soldering...
Google sheets API. If you use microPython there are many libraries that make the integration between Python and the API easy; unfortunately many of them seem a few years old, and might not have caught up with the latest table features that will make the job easier inside Gsheets.
It isn't much...
Ok. As an upper limit, about 14kW per machine. Times how many machines?
How significant is that as a percentage of your total cooling load?
They're shrink wrap machines, so as an essential part of their purpose they'll be converting a bunch of that directly into heat.
If the machine...
Pumping untreated well water through 1,600 feet of black pipe laid out on the ground and into a tank seems like a good setup for breeding bacteria.
Do some research on water quality control and treatment before you do this.
Sure. Pick one with enough analog inputs if you're going to use sensors with analog signals.
Define what you need to do first, then pick hardware that supports those needs; not the other way around.
Seems like everything except the soil moisture sensors could be very close to your micro.
For the soil moisture sensors, pick one that supports I2C. That will easily get you 10 meters, probably more with twisted pair.
