Handbook - Calculations 3 PDF

The document discusses how laboratory calculations of deposition efficiency for coated electrodes do not account for stub loss, which is the amount of electrode that remains unconsumed. It provides a table showing how the actual deposition efficiency is lower than the laboratory calculation due to longer stubs. For example, with a 2 inch stub, the actual deposition efficiency is 50% of the laboratory calculated efficiency, but with a 5 inch stub it is only 35% of the calculated efficiency.
