Dear experts,

request to confirm whether my understanding is correct.

kindly see the attached document.

212197, I am reading "If a fillet weld is used in conjunction with a groove weld, the nominal thickness is the depth of the groove or the throat dimension, whichever is greater." So wouldn't soak time be based on t1 + t2, 24mm?

Regards,

Mike

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

The soak time is based on the groove weld thickness or 12 mm.

That is what not clear to me. In the figure there are 2 grooves. First is between reinforcement pad & nozzle. Second is between dished end & nozzle. To decide the soaking time of post weld heat treatment, weld thickness is to be derived. So I have doubt should I consider only one groove i.e. 12 mm or should I consider 2 grooves (first+ second) i.e. 24 mm.

Kindly guide.
