Plan the weld before you strike the arc.
Independent calculators and evidence-led guides for welding and fabrication planning. Every tool uses the figures you enter and issues a printable planning record. Inputs stay in the page, nothing is sold and technical sources are named.
Tool register

How this desk works
Every tool on this desk runs in your browser on the figures you enter. Inputs are not sent or retained after the page closes, and no result is fetched from elsewhere: the arithmetic and its assumptions are set out step by step on the methodology sheet.
Every record a tool issues is a planning estimate, not a certification. Where a number depends on a nameplate, a data plate or a marked cylinder, the tools ask you to enter it — they never guess it for you.
The guidance behind the tools and guides comes from named public documents, chiefly HSE and TWI publications. Each is listed, with what we take from it, on the source register.
