weld bead length tolerance
weld bead length tolerance
(OP)
Friends,
Question about weld bead lengths when explictly called out on a print.
On a drawing we have utilizing an 1/8" fillet weld, which joins two pieces of 1/8" Aluminum extrusion we also require the length of the bead to be 1/2". What does AWS or any other standard state about the length tolerance of the bead? I was looking through some AWS standards and couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
Mike

RE: weld bead length tolerance
Definition of tolerances of any dimension is a design engineering function, and as such must be done by the design engineer.
What is the minimum length that will provide the necessary strength?
