wei9ht by the factor 0.283 pounds percubiC inch for steel. Where weld rein

forcement is involved, it is added to the

requirements for net, unreinforced welds.These figures are based on the effi

ciency of the process used. On squareand "V" groove joints, the fi9ures are

based on stick electrode efficiency. Fortubular wire results, divide steel depositweight by .80 and for solid wire divide by.90.

calculated as fol lows:

W=~1-L

W = Weight of electrodes required

D = Weight of steel deposited= Total electrode losses

To arrive at the weight of steel depos

ited, it is necessary to calculate first thevolume of deposited metal (area of the

groove multiplied by the length). Thenthis volumetric value is converted to

HORIZONTAL FILLET WELD

The following tables will help you esti

mate electrode quantity and cost for aariety of joints. The bases for the tabulat ions are explained below.

Should you encounter a variation inconditions or joint preparation that is not

shown in the tables, substitute appropriate figures in the W
