Welding Round Bar to Flat
Welding Round Bar to Flat
(OP)
How do I determine the size (depth and width) of the required partial penetration groove weld to achieve an effective throat of say 1/8"? I am looking at joint T-P10-S for SAW. The round bar is solid 1.25" diameter so T1 is not applicable. Perhaps joint T-P10-S is not what I should be looking at.

You are referring to a flare bevel groove weld? If so, there are equations in AWS for determining effective throat.

FYI, Figure 2.1 (A),D1.4-98 (rebar welding code) shows what the flare-bevel groove weld(s) would look like between a round bar and flat planar surface.
