RE: minimum weld size
RE: minimum weld size
when calculating weld size, it depends on stick/parent material used, throat size and expected loading.
Last time i designed a weld i used "design of weldments handbook" to give me an allowable stress per mm/2. Then manipulated as required to determine leg length.

RE: minimum weld size
My hip-shot response would be "as small as the welding operator can make it and still maintain proper profile, penetration and not have excessive porosity".
Beyond that, when we get into a tricky situation, we run some test welds, bend them and send out for x-rays.
