Data For Oxy-Acetylene Welding

The document provides cost estimates for two welding jobs: 1. Welding two 10mm thick plates with a 6mm electrode to form a lap joint that is 3 meters long. The estimated cost of electrodes for this job is Rs. 8.4. 2. Welding two 8mm thick plates together to form a 200mm x 200mm piece using oxy-acetylene welding. The estimated cost of filler material is Rs. 3.67 and the estimated cost of oxygen and acetylene consumed is Rs. 0.40 each.

Data for Oxy-Acetylene Welding

1. Estimating lap welded joint is to be made as shown. Rates provided are standard rates from the table

Thickness of plate = 10 mm Electrode diameter = 6 mm Minimum arc voltage = 30 Volts Current used = 250 Amperes Welding speed = 10 meters/hour Electrode used per meter of weld = 0.350 kgs Electrode rate = Rs. 8.00 per kg Efficiency of welding m/c = 50 percent Cost of electrodes per meter of weld = 0.350 8 = Rs. 2.80 As this is a double fillet weld, lap joint length of weld = 1.5 2 = 3 meters Charges of making the welded joint = 2.8 x 3 = Rs. 8.4

2. Cost for welding two plates 200 mm 100 mm 8 mm thick to obtain a piece 200 mm 200 mm 8 mm approximately using rightward welding technique Cost of filler material = Rs. 60 per kg Cost of oxygen = Rs. 700 per 100 cu meters Cost of acetylene = Rs. 700 per 100 cu meters Consumption of oxygen = 0.70 cu m/hr Consumption of acetylene = 0.70 cu m/hr Diameter of filler rod = 4 mm Density of filler material = 7.2 gms/cc Filler rod used per meter of weld = 340 cms Speed of welding = 2.4 meter/hr Total length of weld = 200 mm Filler rod used = 340 200/1, 000 = 68 cms Volume of filler rod used = X-sectional area of rod length of rod = /4 (0.4) (0.4) x 68 = 8.5 cubic cm Weight of filler rod = 8.5 7.2 = 61.2 gms Cost of filler material = 61.2 x 60 / 1000 = Rs 3.67

Time to weld 200 mm length = 200 1, 000 2.4 = 0.08 hrs Oxygen consumed = 0.08 0.7 = 0.056 cu m Acetylene consumed = 0.08 0.7 = 0.056 cu m Cost of oxygen consumed = 0.056 700/100 = Rs. 0.40 Cost of acetylene consumed = 0.056 700/100 = Rs. 0.40
