Welding plates of different thickness - rules of thumb.
Welding plates of different thickness - rules of thumb.
(OP)
Are there any rules of thumb when it comes to fillet welding plates of different thicknesses?
I require the minimum thickness of plate to weld a lifting lug to. The lug is to be 16 mm grade 250 plate. The obvious solution would be to use 16 mm under it as well, but is that necessary, or overkill?
Regards.

If there is a difference in weld size when comparing the size required to transmit the load or the minimum size based on member thickness, the large value is used.
