// Calculation Methodology — per metre of weld
Weld Area = joint cross-section area (mm²) from geometry
Deposit Vol. = Weld Area × 1000 mm/m ÷ 1000 → cm³/m
Deposit kg/m = Vol.(cm³/m) × wire density(g/cm³) ÷ 1000
Wire kg/m = Deposit kg/m ÷ (Dep. Efficiency × (1 − Spatter/100))
Deposit Vol. = Weld Area × 1000 mm/m ÷ 1000 → cm³/m
Deposit kg/m = Vol.(cm³/m) × wire density(g/cm³) ÷ 1000
Wire kg/m = Deposit kg/m ÷ (Dep. Efficiency × (1 − Spatter/100))
