The Welding Heat Input Calculator estimates heat input per unit length using arc voltage, welding current, travel speed, and process efficiency. Convert results into kJ/mm, kJ/cm, or J/mm to support welding process planning and parameter comparison. Use this calculator as a reference estimate; actual heat input depends on the welding process and procedure.

Welding parameters
Enter an efficiency value appropriate for the welding process. Do not assume a universal value. Allowed range: 1–100%.
