Filler material consumption
Fillet Weld
The tables give approximate weld deposit volume for various joint types. The steel weight of deposit per meter is also given.
– The approximate deposit weight in kg for aluminium is found by multi plying the deposit volume by 0.0027. – The approximate deposit weight in kg of copper alloys is found by multi plying the deposit volume by 0.009. – For coated electrodes the required number of electrodes (for steel) is found by dividing the deposit weight by the value “(number of electrodes per kg. weld metal” found in the data table for each electrode in the filler material section. Note that spatter, welding positions and work routines, e.g. throwing away long electrode stubbs, may influence on the total consumption.

– For steel welding wires and rods the deposit weight given equals the weight of filler material required.
