Weld Weight Calculator

Calculate weight of weld metal deposited per foot for various joint types

Select the weld joint configuration. Cross-section area determines weight per linear foot.
For fillet welds: leg size. For groove welds: plate thickness (depth of groove).
inches
Gap at the root of groove welds. Typically 1/16" to 1/8". Enter 0 for fillet welds.
inches
Weld cap reinforcement height above the plate surface. Typical: 1/16" to 1/8".
