Q: Fillet welds used for joining the lapped plates are generally of right angled triangle shape. The size of the fillet weld is specified by
  • A. smaller side of the triangle
  • B. two times of throat thickness of the fillet weld
  • C. smaller side of the plate welded
  • D. hypotenuse of the triangle
Correct Answer: Option A - Fillet Welds– A fillet weld is specified by the following– (i) Size of weld (ii) Throat thickness (iii) Length of weld. • Size of weld– The sides containing the right angel of the fillet area called legs. The size of the weld is specified by minimum leg length. The length of the leg is the distance from the root of the weld to the toe of the weld, measured along the fusion. face.
