let say you have 4" dia. of pipe and 10 welds
so the total diameter inch of weld are
4 x 10 = 40 dia. inches
To calculate weld inches for pipe, first determine the total length of the welds required for the project. Measure the circumference of the pipe (using the formula π times the diameter) and multiply it by the number of joints or welds. For multiple welds, sum the lengths of all individual welds to get the total weld inches. Finally, if applicable, factor in the number of passes required for each weld to obtain the overall weld inches.
At first, the area of cross section of the weld, length of the weld, volume of the weld in cubic inches, weight of weld in cubic inches. To express in formula: Weight of Weld Metal = _ Êx ÊBase Êx ÊHeight Êx ÊLength Êx ÊWeight of Material.
Circumference of a circle in inches = 2*radius*pi or diameter*pi Both radius and diameter must be in inches
2r = dIf you calculate the formula correctly, the diameter would be 24 inches.
A socket weld is a pipe attachment detail in which a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of a valve or fitting, and then fillet welded between its outside diameter and the fitting end. Generally used for piping whose nominal diameter is 2 inches (50 mm) or smaller.
It varies from 3 inches to 13 inches. The electrode type, type of weld, and position of weld all determine how far you can get done with a single rod
Area = pi*r2 where r is the radius. So Area = 28 sq inches gives radius = 2.985 inches and then, diameter = 2*radius = 5.971 inches.
You can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder to calculate that.
168.8 cubic inches
11"
The inches in a diameter = 2 X inches in the radius. Or, inches in a diameter = inches in circumference / pi
The amount of weld on a pipe can vary significantly based on the application, pipe diameter, and welding process used. Typically, the weld length is determined by the joint design and the specifications of the project. For example, a full penetration butt weld may require a continuous weld along the joint, while a fillet weld may only need to cover a portion of the joint. Always refer to project specifications or standards for precise requirements.
