I am looking for a rough estimate (I have seen some of the flack from previous posts on this subject) of the time to complete a 12" long full penetration weld using a manual flux core process. The weld would be of (2) 3/4" thick plates. The plates are 90 degrees to one another (like an upside down tee). The material is all high strength plate (API 2MT1). I guess the position is 1G. Past that, I don't know enough to provide info. Any help is greatly appreciated! Don't include preheat time, etc... Just the time to make the passes necessary to make the weld.
Thanks in advance.
