Calculate Weld Strength of Fillet Weld
Calculate Weld Strength of Fillet Weld
(OP)
Right I have been thrown in at the deep end with weld calcs. Previously I have never dealt with them so could do with some help.
I am trying to calculate if my fillet weld is going to be strong enough.
I have a circular 6mm plate, diameter =144mm that is going to be weld inside a pipe. It will be welded at 3 tabs each 10mm in length.
At present I am using a 4mm double sided fillet weld and need to check if this will be strong enough.
There will be pressure of 5.4bar in the pipe.
The length of pipe is 200mm
Let me know if you need anything else.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

And is there a pressure differential of 5.4 bar over the baffle plate itself? Or the total pressure in your system?
I don't quite understand the setup, will the round plate you'll weld in the pipe, be perforated or are there large gaps towards the pipe wall, so the fluid can pass easily?
Does the length of the pipe (200 mm) comes into play for the calcs? As there must be a tank or valve or something attached at least to one end I'd say...
RE: Calculate Weld Strength of Fillet Weld
The 5.4 bar is total pressure in the system.
The total length is actually 400mm with a nozzle at either end the baffle plate is in the middle.
There will be a gap between the round plate (baffle) and the pipe of 6mm except for the 3 weld tabs.

Before starting the calcs, you do need to have an idea of the force that will be exerted by the fluid on the baffle plate! We really can't do that from here...
