Ebook: Everyday Pocket Handbook on Metric Practices for the Welding Industry

Compiled as a useful tool for on-the-job welding personnel, this book contains the accepted definition of the International System of Units (SI) as contained in the pertinent American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Standards Organization (ISO) documents. It includes table conversions for common welding terms, length conversions, electrode sizes, fillet weld sizes, welding travel and wire feed speeds, deposition rates, and gas flow rates all in SI and U.S customary units.
