Fillet Welds for pressure containment
Fillet Welds for pressure containment
(OP)
There are lots of calculations for sizing of fillet welds. However I have not seen one for sizing of fillet welds for pressure containment. This may occur with the associated pipework for setting up hydrotesting etc. How can one be sure fillet weld size is accurate. Any references appreciated on this subject.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.

I never use fillets on pressure containing parts, even on end plates for jacketed, and slip-ons are generally prohibited by most all of our clients anyway.
