estimate time to weld stainless
i am double checking a price from a sub.  how much time should i estimate for welding 10 gauge 316 stainless steel?  the end product is an asme pressure vessel.  also, if the material thickness is increased to 3/8 inches, is there an increase in time to weld? (minutes/foot?)
ah,
how large are the weldments?  what is the joint geometry?  what process is being used to make the welds(gtaw, smaw, gmaw, fcaw-g?)
how many welders are working simultaneously?(if this is a large vessel)
need to know many more details before anyone can formulate an answer to your question...
