All-In Welding Cost per Foot
Consumable per foot, filler cost, labor hours and cost, and the all-in cost per foot of weld -- where labor and the operating factor, not the filler, usually dominate. A real bid adds shop overhead, grinding, and power.
Formula and source
Consumable per ft = deposit per ft / efficiency; filler cost = consumable x filler cost per lb; arc hr per ft = deposit / deposition rate; labor hr per ft = arc hr / operating factor; total = filler + labor + gas per ft.
