Verification This program was verified the following ways 1 Hand calculations 2 Comparison with other commercial software and publications Although every effort was made to make this software as accurate and easy to understand as possible, there is no way to guarantee it's accuracy. There are assumptions that must be made concerning welder and process efficiency. Process efficiency is built into the program and the information was obtained from numerous publications. Welder efficiency is supplied by the user. This is one of the most basic factors in the cost calculations and must be determined as accurately as possible in order to make sound evaluations of welding cost.

Welder Efficiency Welder Efficiency - Welder Efficiency is the percentage of a welder’s working day that is actually spent welding. A 45% (.45) operating factor means that only 45% of the welder’s day is actually spent welding (4.4 hrs). The balance of time is spent installing a new electrode or wire, cleaning slag, positioning the weldment, cleaning spatter from the welding gun, preparing the joint, moving parts, coffee break etc. If the actual operating factor is not known, the following averages can be used. 30% may be used with the shielded metal arc welding process(SMAW) 50% may be used with the Gas metal arc welding process (GMAW) 45% may be used with the FluxCored Arc Welding process (FCAW) 45%-50% may be used with the Submerged Arc Welding process (SAW) 50% may be used with any automatic Welding process

Labor and Overhead Rates Labor and overhead are considered jointly in all calculations in this spreadsheet. Labor is the welder’s hourly pay rate which includes their wages and benefits. Overhead includes allocated portions of plant operating and maintenance costs.

Weld shops in manufacturing plants normally have established labor and overhead rates for each department. Labor and overhead rates can vary greatly from plant to plant, and also with location.

For cost calculations 10% is added to the size shown. This is consistant with normal shop practices. In other words welders will typically produce a weld that is 10% larger than what is required. Fillet welds are assumed to be convex rather than flat for cost calculations (See Drawings to the right. Units = Last
