G.4 Project summary, welding consumables & welding cost

What it does

• DEMO project example: 73.18 t of steel, 6,705 m of welds, 91.6 m/t, 818.9 kg of deposited metal, 887.6 kg of consumables (12.13 kg/t).
• Transparent formulas: cross-section area by weld type → m = A × L × ρ → consumables = m ÷ η; gas by arc time.
• Consumable cost from the effective unit rates (rate history kept); labour is a separate preliminary estimate; costs are filtered on the server for users without permission.

Limits and points to check

Process factors are reference values – the welding engineer checks them against the WPS / manufacturer data and confirms them in Settings.
