Weld Group (Line) Property Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Evidence ID

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

An empty weld pattern has total line length zero, so centroid, Iu, and Ju about that centroid are undefined. The calculator must reject the input rather than return numeric values or propagate NaN silently.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
