Hi Graham
I want to put a 5/6m fillet using 0.8 316L MiG wire between 6mm plate and 6mm stiffener. How many meters of weld will I get approx. out of a 5kg reel
Hi John
A 5Kg reel of 0.8mm wire has around 1350M of wire.
You will need to work out the volume of metal need for your welds (leg length x leg length divided by 2, times the weld length).
Then work out the volume of wire on a spool.
By dividing one answer into the other you will be able to calculate how many welds you can produce form a reel of wire.
Hope that helps
Cheers Graham
Hi Siddhertha
I regret we do not have data for FCAW wire, speak to the wire supplier, they should have that information.
The proportion of gas will depend on the flow rate of gas, which you can control.

Sir, I want to know that 12.5 kg of mig spool wire(1.2mm) can weld maximum upto what meter.
Also tell me the amount of co2/argon consumed in 1 spool wire (12.5 kg)
Hi Luqmaan
I’m sorry, I don’t really understand the question!
In the first example (0.6mm wire on 0.7Kg Spool). The length of the wire on the spool is 350M (approximately).
Hope I’ve clarified.
Cheers Graham
Hi Benjamin
I assume you mean using the 1.2mm wire as the electric fence, rather than welding the electric fence!
Too be honest, I don’t know, I see no reason why not, other than it might be quite expensive! Also worth checking that SS does not have too much more resistance than the existing wire or you might find efficiency is reduced.
Hope that helps, at least a bit 🙂

How many metres a wire spool be in a spool of 12.5 kgs. of 1.2mm FCAW class IV M.S. wire and the proportional CO2 gas consumption in kgs.

Hi Nikunj
I’ve replied to your email.

Sorry at 1.0 dia
Hi Andrew
I regret we don’t have data on that wire, try the wire supplier or manufacturer.

How many meters of CuSiB is in a 226 Kg barrel?
Thanks for this info!! Always wondered about that.
Hi Rob
Thanks for the comment, glad you found the info useful.
Cheers

Does welder a 1m line mean 1m of wire is used from the spool?

NO – how much wire you use will depend on how big the weld is that you put down, this in turn depends on a number of factors!
Thanks, took me whole day to find this info.
Would SS 308L 1,2mm be fine for electric fence? Galv stranded corrodes very quickly.
