    Calculating Weld Wire Consumption

    Uploaded by

    David D'Agostino
    The document provides tables to help estimate the electrode quantity and cost for welding various types of joints. It gives the amount of steel deposited and pounds of electrodes required per linear foot of weld based on factors like fillet weld size, groove joint dimensions, and whether reinforcement is included. Electrode requirements are calculated based on the weight of steel deposited using efficiency factors for different electrode types.
