Unit Code: CFW423

Unit Name: Fabrication and Welding Calculation

Description: The purpose of this unit is to enable the development of knowledge and understanding required for the mathematical calculation and analysis needed in the Fabrication and Welding Trade. These consist of conversion of units, calculating of areas, volumes and even welding cost and bending allowance. Welding-cost estimate is one of the most important tools. It helps in the economic conduction of a welding enterprise. Unfortunately, it is usually an ill understood and poorly applied practice. Understanding the factors affecting welding costs may stimulate to apply serious changes.
