Fillet Weld Sizes as per AWS D1.1 & AWS D1.2

 

Fillet Weld Sizes as per AWS D1.1 & AWS D1.2




This blog here answers your questions about:

  • What is the tolerance for Fillet weld sizes as per AWS D1.1 ?
  • What is the weld size tolerance?
  • What is the required fillet weld size for structures ?

Selection of Fillet Size

Acceptance criteria clauses for Weld Profile in AWS

7.23.1 Fillet Welds. The faces of fillet welds may be slightly   convex, flat, or slightly concave as shown in Figure 7.4

and as allowed by Tables 7.8, 7.9, 8.1 , and 10.15.

Conclusion for AWS D1.1

  • Minimum size (leg length) of fillet weld to be achieved as per Table 7.7 , the same shall be in the drawing too.
  • Under size of leg length is not acceptable, Throat thickness convexity acceptance criteria is from Table 7.9
  • Over size is not described in the standard, but can be mutually agreed between client and manufacturer through contract document, if not additional Fillet size is allowable
  • But the Weld profile or re-inforcement should be as allowed in the figures shown above.

In AWS D1.2 (Aluminium)

Tolerance as per AWS D1.2

acceptance criteria

Conclusion for AWS D1.2 (Aluminium)

  • Maximum convexity & Maximum Undersize is given in above table
  • Excess Weld Size is not a criteria for rejection as per AWS D1.2 as there it is not mentioned in the standard,
  • Again the if required the maximum size shall be mentioned in the drawing with mutual agreement between the client and manufacturer, or shall be specified in the contract document.

Discontinuities in Ultrasonic Testing in NDT

Image
 This blog will discuss types of discontinuities that can be evaluated with the ultrasonic testing in NDT method. Discontinuities can be divided into three general categories inherent, processing and service Inherent discontinuities are usually formed when the metal is molten. Inherent wrought discontinuities relate to the melting and solidification of the original ingot before it is formed into slabs, blooms and billets. Inherent cast discontinuities relates to the melting, casting and solidification of a cast article. Usually caused by inherent variables such as inadequate feeding, gating, excessive pouring temperature or entrapped gases. Processing discontinuities are usually related to the various manufacturing process such as machining, forming, extruding, rolling, welding, heat treating and plating. Service discontinuities are related to the various service conditions such as stress, corrosion, fatigue and erosion. During the manufacturing process, many disco

NDT on Shafts

Image
  Non Destructive Testing,NDT on Shafts is considered essential , because the shafts are mostly made as load bearing structures, any defects such as cracks will propagate more during acting of load and eventually will cause failure. The most possible defects in shafts are Cracks and Pipes , which is shown below The Non Destructive methods preferred for defect detection on raw material shafts are Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Particle testing / Eddy Current Testing / Magnetic Flux Leakage method. We have not discussed about other NDT methods such as Liquid Penetrant testing & Radiographic testing because for raw material inspection. These methods will be cost effective for raw material testing  ( i.e. most costly and labor intensive, also there is possibility of missing out the cracks in radiography testing due to orientation of crack ) The Defect wise identification method is given as below  , Internal Defect ( Piping ) – Ultrasonic Testing Surface Defects  (C racks) – Magnetic Part

Standards for Welding Positions

Image
  Standards for Welding Positions : It is very important for the Weld Inspector  to know the position , or location of a joint relative to the horizon, because it may determine what welding process, methods, and techniques can be used. Welding is usually easiest when the welder can work on a joint located on a flat, horizontal surface, such as on a table or bench. However, joints in the field may be located in a variety of positions relative to the welder and to the horizon, as shown below.  1)  Welding positions – AWS D1.1, European Welding Standard EN 287 – 1, ASME IX: 2) Welding Positions – Butt, Fillet and Piping Welds: Flat Butt Weld Position – 1G In this position, the axis line of the weld must  not incline more than 15°  from the horizon and the face of the weld must be on top. Welders often refer to the flat-position welding by the nonstandard term  downhand welding. Horizontal Butt Weld Position – 2G In this position, both plates are perpendicular to the bench top, but the axi
