Weld Sizing for RFSO Flange

[Ed555]

Our shop does not like decimal fillet weld sizes or weld sizes to the 1/32". Is there a standard way to show that the fillet weld leg size is to cover the entire thickness of the nozzle? For example, for a 1-1/2" Sch.40 nozzle, the weld leg on the flange to end of nozzle would be .144"

Round down. Or add a note that it is "to cover the full width of the pipe". Or draw a little diagram.
Also note that the flange bore is larger than the pipe OD, so if you make the fillet size the same as the pipe wall, it won't extend to the inside face.
In asking some similar questions before, I found either nobody knows or nobody bothers about some of these details, as answers were somewhat lacking, although presumably this exact same issue comes up over and over.

I drew a sample connection of each joint geometry and labeled the fillet as "hub thickness" as that leg varies by pipe size. Same location as "F" in the below sketch. My AI, inspector, and the code guy at the nuclear facility this was destined for all signed off on it without comment, so I think it's likely acceptable.

From the code I was working with slip on flanges and socket branch connections were setup slightly differently, so I made a quick table for socket connections based on the sizes used on this job.
