Following is the dimensions of the joint .Thickness of pipe 18 mm, 70 Degree angle single V-Groove,1 mm root face,1.5 mm root opening. I have calculated total volume of joint all around pipe.then divided it by density of weld metal(mild steel) to get mass of the weld metal required to fill the groove. But the result is not correct due to some unit conversion mistake.I am looking for help from all the members over here interested in this subject.I am new in welding engineering and don't have much idea about this .Expecting help from my seniors and friends.

My e-mail sunilkmani@gmail.com

Thank you in advance
