doubt on frame welding call out
doubt on frame welding call out
(OP)
Hi, I got a doubt in between reviewing a square tube weldment. Th designer called the square weld in th drawing(PFA). I beleive the welding call out should be flare bevel based on cost & practical easiness. Please help me to confirm whether I am right or wrong?.
As well please suggest me any good professional welding design books.which includes practical project based approach.

But the other two sides will need a bevel if you expect any penetration.

As EdStainless noted, the outside corner radius of rolled/welded steel tubing can be fairly generous, especially with thicker tube walls. If the end of the perpendicular tube member is cut flat there can be a considerable gap at the inside edges of these two outer joints that must be bridged by the welder.

here the Material is cold formed steel tube for structural applications.I have red lined such a way to call "2X FLARE BEVEL" for two sides and "2X FILLET" for other two sides.I think i shouldn't call all around fillet or all around flare bevel weld here.
I believe the welding will be as per the attached image after the finishing process.
In between i have found out a nice explanation of the welding of hollow structural tubing, http://steeltubeinstitute.org/hss/faq/welding-hss-...
Here in my organization designers wont care much about welding. They just put symbols that's it. The suppliers takes care based on their long term experience with our products. But still i want to know the details for my improvement.

As per your attachment, we also use flare-groove welds in this situation.
