Aw = (pt*(Sb-1.27*d))/5.08
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Cross‑Sectional Area of Weld - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross‑sectional Area of Weld is the area of region where welding is being done.
Plate Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness is the distance through the bearing plate.
Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint is a shrinkage of the metal result of contraction of the base metal.
Root Opening - (Measured in Meter) - Root Opening is defined as the point at which the two pieces to be joined by welding is nearest.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Plate Thickness: 802 Millimeter --> 0.802 Meter (Check conversion here)

Aw = (pt*(Sb-1.27*d))/5.08

What is called Distortion in welding terms ?

One of the major problems found with weldments is the distortion. Distortion is caused mainly because of the shrinkage that take place in weldments. The shrinkage taking place in a weldment depends upon the geometry and type of the weld. There are three types of distortions possible in weldments.

(a) Transverse shrinkage occurring perpendicular to the weld line.
(b) Longitudinal shrinkage occurring parallel to the weld line, which is very small of the order of about 0.1% of the weld length and hence can be neglected.
(c) Angular change as a rotation about the weld line.
