Yep, we just spoke and apparently he had welded the components without noticing the comments that were sent back and now he is trying to get the approval of what is done.
Thank you all, I agree with your recommendations and as general practice is it norm to have a fillet weld size to be no larger then thinner part of connected material. But the fabricator isn't agreeing with the judgment call.
Looking at AWSD1.1 table 5.8 Note B states ...except that the weld size need not exceed the thickness of the thinner part joined.
That statement does not say shall not exceed as it does for groove weld. Please advise.
