Notes: 1) Travel speeds for each Amp-Volt combination are calculated using the formula in AWS 5.12, 2002 Edition. 2) Travel speeds for each Amp-Volt combination are calculated to be between 60% to (90 or 100%) of the allowed max heat input in ALL cases (i.e. between (0 or 10%) and 40% below the max allowed). 3) To update ALL calculations, simply type in the new MAX heat input, and / or the new AVG MAX heat input. All other values are calculated automatically from the MAX ALLOWED HEAT INPUT . 4) If any AMP or VOLT values are changed, the table will also automatically update the travel speeds.
