Min thickness for a weld?
Min thickness for a weld?
(OP)
Is there a minimum base material thickness for a CJP groove weld? (or really for any weld?) Basically, I am trying to determine whether two pipe sections can be welded together if one of them has 16 gauge steel....

.03" and less? Wow! I've always limited it to about .07" or one pass of a 1/16" weld. I'll have to take your word for it.

Butt welded two stroke pipes are thinner that 16 gauge.

Do you mean that all of those stainless steel aircraft exhaust pipes I welded, can't be done?

The good engineer does not need to memorize every formula; he just needs to know where he can find them when he needs them. Old professor

No, just never heard of it until now. Always dealt with larger material.
