Bevels J and V
Bevels J and V
(OP)
Hi,
May someone kindly explain to me the advantage of the bevel type J with respect to bevel type V, for circumferential welds on piping systems ?.
Thanks in advance for the attention paid to my question.

Additionally, J-welds can be better quality, as the less welding means less heat input and hence the heat affected zone (HAZ) will tend to be smaller. In other words: Less heat damage to the work piece.
@ tbuelna: In the same way as V-welds, J-welds may be single or double sided.

That is indeed the correct terminology, per AWS. However, I have never heard it called that 'in the field'. Everybody [including Welding Engineers] refers to that joint as a "J-bevel". I try to use both when I am writing something, to avoid this problem.
