Welding Per Feet
Welding Per Feet
Edit
I just sprayed some .035 wire flat position on 3/8 angle onto the deck of
a construction trailer. Had about 14-16 feet of weld and would
guess the actual welding time was only 20-25 minutes
Please help to calculate the production rate of a welder to weld a steel length of 122 linear meter with
25mm thickness?
1. Suggest using following for manual welding;
25 mm full penetration weld between 6hr/ml and 10hr/ml
25 mm fillet weld say leg lenght 10 mm between 1.5hr/ml and 2.7hr/ml
The spread dependent on conditions and location
2. This depends on:
a. the process that you are using
b. the thickness of the welding wire
c. the capacity of the machine
d. the approved welding procedure.
e. the number of machines
I would recommend that you use MIG semi automatic or automatic welding with 1.2 or 1.6mm thick
wire. Depending on the machine that you have.
The rate of deposite depends on the welder. The average rate is around 250 linear meters per shift (12
hours) per welder for 10mm size weld. This is a rough figure you can use. If you are doing NDT after
the Root weld, then this you need to stop until the results are completed.
Usually this size weld will require 100% MPI+UT+RT and if you are using this place for Pressure
Vessels, then you need PWHT as well with hardness testing afterwards.
