Welding plate to pipe
Welding plate to pipe
(OP)
What is the appropriate weld category/name/symbol for welding a steel channel (or plate) to a 3" diameter column? Or any large diameter section with a plate welded to it. In cross section, the plate width is tangent to the radius (thickness is parallel to column thickness).
Like this: o[
Would this be flare-bevel-groove weld? (this is what I would use if it were a small diameter and effective throat being a=5/8*R). How is the effective throat determined?
Thanks

Actual pennetration will vary with process, so a mockup using SMAW 'stick' will not translate to GMAW or GTAW.

The welding required for a flare bevel groove may be unreasonable. For a small gap (< 3/16) a fillet weld can be increased accordingly.

Are you working with AWS D1.1? I'm assuming that's where the 5/8R stipulation comes from?

I was actually referring to AISC but I beleive they refer to AWS D1.1 in regards to the 5/8R.
