All types of welding rely on some form of protection to keep the weld puddle from oxidizing. Molten metal has an afinity to oxygen. Some processes use an inert gas ( ie:GTAW GMAW) the G, being Gas, is usually argon,helium, or CO2. SMAW (stick welding) S being Shielded, uses both slag and smoke to protect the molten puddle. Therefore it stands to reason if the wind is strong enough to blow away the smoke or inert gas then oxygen contained in the air can attack and destroy the weld.

Why do pilots have to know wind velocity?

Pilots need to know wind velocity to calculate the effect of wind on their aircraft's speed, heading, and fuel consumption. This information is crucial for flight planning, navigation, and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the flight.


What has an effect on air pressure?

gas composition of atmosphere (including water vapour); altitude; temperature; and wind velocity.


What has an effect on earths air pressure?

How does mass effect velocity?

It doesn't. But velocity does effect mass : as velocity increases, mass increases.


What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?

A reduction in surface wind speed will have a minor effect on the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force is primarily influenced by the Earth's rotation and the object's velocity, not the speed of the wind. Therefore, a decrease in wind speed will not significantly alter the Coriolis force.


Why is it important for airplane pilots to know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight?

Wind velocity is vector quantity. direction is also important.
