WELDING CALCULATOR
How much electrode does your job need?
Enter the material, the joint and the dimensions. The calculator returns the weld metal you will lay down, the kilograms of electrode to order, the arc time, the estimated cost, and which PROWELDER electrode suits the job. Every efficiency and deposition rate used here is taken from the PROWELDER technical sheets.
Read this before ordering: the result is a planning and quotation estimate. Actual consumption changes with fit-up, welding position, joint preparation and operator technique. Where a qualified welding procedure applies, that procedure governs the electrode, size and current — not this page. Rod counts are shown for 6013 only, because it is the one datasheet that publishes electrodes per kilogram of weld metal.
