Determining the Cost of Welding

In part one of this article in the January 2024 Welding Journal, three basic methods for computing welding costs were presented: cost per unit, cost per length, and cost per weight. The basic equations for each method were presented along with worked-out examples. When determining the cost of welding using one of these three methods, it’s important to select the method that will lead to the most-accurate results. Selecting an inappropriate method can lead to a significant deviation from the actual welding co..
