As per ‘Indian Standard General Construction in Steel- Code of practice’ for deep penetration welds, where the depth of penetration beyond the root run is a minimum of 2.4 mm, the size of fillet should be as: Correct Answer Minimum leg size + 2.4 mm.
Explanation:
As per IS 800: 2007 -
- The size of normal fillets shall be taken as the minimum weld leg size.
- For deep penetration welds, where the depth of penetration beyond the root run is a minimum of 2.4 mm, the size of the fillet should be taken as the minimum leg size plus 2.4 mm.
- For fillet welds made by semi-automatic or automatic processes, where the depth of penetration is considerably in excess of 2.4 mm, the size shall be taken considering the actual depth of penetration.
- The size of fillet welds shall not be less than 3 mm.\
- The minimum size of the weld is based on the thickness of the thicker plate being connected as shown in the below-tabulated form:
|
Thickness of thicker plate connected (mm) |
≤ 10 mm |
11-20 mm |
21-32 mm |
> 32 mm |
|
Minimum size of the weld (mm) |
3 mm |
5 mm |
6 mm |
8 mm |
