Math for Welders

Welders need to be familiar with the following math topics:

 

Fractions & Decimals: Almost every blueprint will have calculations based on fractions that will need to be converted to decimals to get accurate weld points.

 

Geometry: welding projects require you to understand, calculate and measure welds at different angles. Welders will need to be able to calculate length and size of various shapes and calculate the radius, diameter, and circumference of rounded shapes. 

 

Trigonometry: Welders need an understanding of tangents, signs and cosigns in order to test the strength of the joint without breaking it.

 

Arithmetic: Calculate shapes, sizes, and volume of sheets for welding, Determine pressure, angle, volume of gases to use, and changes in temperature and its effects on metals, calculate shapes and structures for rebuild.
