RE: Measurement of Skewed Fillet Welds
Oh, if only detailers would follow this advice! After all, the weld in a skewed T joint is not truly fillet welds. The Z-loss, or the incomplete fusion, at the root means the weld does not meet the basic premise of a fillet weld. Skewed T Joints have their own paragraph in AWS D1.1, just as do groove welds and fillet welds, i.e., they are separate entities. Nowhere in that paragraph is the term “fillet weld” used, only term “weld” is used.
As for measuring the leg dimensions of the weld in a skewed T joint, I use fillet weld gages that have been modified to allow me to slip it in to position to measure the leg. In some cases, I make a gage from “banding strap” using tin snips.
