In an intermittent weld, what is the distance between the end of one weld and the beginning of the next, if the length and pitch are 4-10?

In an intermittent weld, what is the distance between the end of one weld and the beginning of the next, if the length and pitch are 4-10?

• A. 8 inches
• B. 6 inches
• C. 4 inches
• D. 10 inches

Answer: (B)

In an intermittent weld, the space between the end of one weld and the beginning of the next comes from subtracting the weld length from the pitch. The length is how long each weld is, and the pitch is the distance from the start of one weld to the start of the next. So with a weld length of 4 inches and a pitch of 10 inches, the gap between welds is 10 − 4 = 6 inches. Therefore, the distance is 6 inches.
