Conclusion for AWS D1.1

  • Minimum size (leg length) of fillet weld to be achieved as per Table 7.7 , the same shall be in the drawing too.
  • Under size of leg length is not acceptable, Throat thickness convexity acceptance criteria is from Table 7.9
  • Over size is not described in the standard, but can be mutually agreed between client and manufacturer through contract document, if not additional Fillet size is allowable
  • But the Weld profile or re-inforcement should be as allowed in the figures shown above.

In AWS D1.2 (Aluminium)

acceptance criteria

Conclusion for AWS D1.2 (Aluminium)

  • Maximum convexity & Maximum Undersize is given in above table
  • Excess Weld Size is not a criteria for rejection as per AWS D1.2 as there it is not mentioned in the standard,
  • Again the if required the maximum size shall be mentioned in the drawing with mutual agreement between the client and manufacturer, or shall be specified in the contract document.
