Help identifying a weld that goes all the way around a cylinder

[dennisbernal91z]

I am trying to identify a weld that goes all the way around a stainless steel rod/cylinder assembly. The weld is joining a tube, slipped over the outside of a rod, where the rod extends a bit further than the cylinder by about 0.5". It looks like a fillet weld, but one of the two legs is much larger than the other one. The entire weld is very small though. One leg of the fillet is only about 0.007" and the other is about 0.020". The larger one runs up the rod, while the smaller one runs perpendicular to the rod surface.

Questions:
1. What is the best way to call out this type of weld?
2. What sort of welding could be used to achieve this type of weld?
3. I can see the small weld bead, so it is unfinished, but it is also a bit concave. How would this be called out? Or would it be left as simply a natrual weld.

standard tig weld, butt joint maybe

if it can be built it can be calculated.

Weld all around??

 

[mfgenggear]

it would be a close fit prior to weld. possibly a slip fit.
then it is tacked & welded with a turntable. it appears to be a hand weld.
because of the pattern. I believe a machine weld would maybe not have that pattern.
What I am accustomed to, it would be more linear if machine welded. but it's been a while.

Fillet weld with unequal legs "all around".

For future reference, there is forum725 here on Eng-Tips for welding questions.

It looks autogenous to me.

I would call it a 1F rotated lap joint. My experience is limited, but that's what it looks like to me. I guess technically Mint Julep is correct with his "Fillet weld with unequal legs 'all around'." Though I'm not sure about the unequal leg length part.
