Note: Double V-groove uses ~50% less weld metal than single V for thick plates. Standard included angle 60-75 deg. Add 10% for reinforcement and wastage.

Reference

Double V-Groove Volume: Each side depth d = (plate thickness - root face) / 2 Bevel width w = 2 * tan(bevel angle) * d Cross-section = 2 * trapezoidal area + root opening area Weld weight = volume * 0.284 lb/in^3 (steel) Electrode = weld weight / deposition efficiency
