Subject: QW-462.4(a), Fillet Weld Procedure
Date Issued: March 17, 1995
File No: 94-543
Question (1): When T2 is greater than 3/4 in. in Fig. QW-462.4(a), what is the maximum size fillet weld required?
Reply (1): 3/4 in.
Question (2): In QW-462.4(a), what does “size of fillet = thickness T2” mean?
Reply (2): The length of each fillet leg(s) shall be nominally equal to the thickness of T2. Question (3): Is there a tolerance for the fillet leg size?
Reply (3): No. As stated in the 1992 Addenda to the Foreword, when tolerances are not specified, dimensions are considered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when based on engineering judgment and standard practices as determined by the designer.
