Duty Cycle Calculator






 

 

 


How This Is Calculated


$$ DC= \frac{W_t}{t} $$ where:

DC   =   Duty Cycle   (%)

Wt   =   Weld time on   (s)

t   =   Elapsed Time   (s)


Assumptions


  • Welding perameters remain constant during welding process.
  • Heat transfer is ideal.
  • Heat distribution is uniform.
  • Heating and cooling effects are not considered.
