RE: Question about single V joint welding
What is the application? There are no specific requirements related to material thickness where you are mandated to switch from single vee to a double vee full penetration weld joint detail. A double vee weld joint can provide reduced distortion during and after welding depending on sequence of welds and can allow back grinding to assure full penetration. A single vee groove can be limited by access to the root resulting in excessive weld deposits, depending on the weld process. Electroslag welds use a square groove weld detail that can extend for 6" in depth with weld deposition performed from one side (similar to a vee groove).
