Butt Weld Metal Weight Calculator (V-Groove)
Deposited weight in a single-V joint from thickness, angle and gap.
Dropping the included angle from 60° to 45° saves a third of the metal — and a third of the hours, gas and distortion. This is why narrow-gap and double-V joints exist.
Formula
Butt Weld Metal Weight Calculator (V-Groove) is a free v groove weld weight for welding engineers, fabricators and CWI inspectors — instant, accurate and 100% client-side, with the governing formula and reference shown next to the result so the number can be defended, not just quoted.
About Butt Weld Metal Weight Calculator (V-Groove)
Deposited weight in a single-V joint from thickness, angle and gap. The calculation implements A = t²·tan(θ/2) + gap·t + cap; ×7850 (ESAB/Lincoln joint-volume tables). Dropping the included angle from 60° to 45° saves a third of the metal — and a third of the hours, gas and distortion. This is why narrow-gap and double-V joints exist.

Frequently asked questions
What formula does the Butt Weld Metal Weight Calculator (V-Groove) use?+
It computes A = t²·tan(θ/2) + gap·t + cap; ×7850, per ESAB/Lincoln joint-volume tables. The formula is displayed under the result.
What should I keep in mind when using this calculator?+
Dropping the included angle from 60° to 45° saves a third of the metal — and a third of the hours, gas and distortion. This is why narrow-gap and double-V joints exist.
Does this follow AWS/IS welding codes?+
Each tool implements the formula from the cited code or handbook (AWS D1.1, IS 800, ISO/EN). Qualified WPS values always govern over any calculator for code work.
Is the Butt Weld Metal Weight Calculator (V-Groove) free to use?+
Yes — completely free, no sign-up, no limits. It runs client-side in your browser, so inputs stay private and results are instant even on slow connections.
