Maximum size of a fillet weld for a plate of square edge is

Maximum size of a fillet weld for a plate of square edge is Correct Answer 1.5 mm less than the thickness of the plate

Concept:

Fillet welding refers to the process of joining two pieces of metal together whether they are perpendicular or at an angle.

Refer to the figure below; size of a fillet weld is the side of triangle of fillet weld.

When filet weld is applied to the square edge of member, the maximum size of weld should be less than the edge thickness by at least 1.5 mm.

Important Point:

When fillet weld is applied to the round toe of rolled steel sections, the maximum size of the weld should not exceed ¾ of the thickness of the section at the toe.

When fillet weld is used for lap joint, then overlap of the members connected should not be less than five times thickness of thinner part.
