This might be a very simple question, but I haven't had much success in finding an answer elsewhere.
We are taking square tubing (say 2" x 2" x 1/8" thick wall) and mitering the ends at 45 degrees to make a the tubes create a 90 degree corner. These get welded together to make a frame. The frame must be water-tight.
At my current job, which I recently started, they've been just calling for a V-Groove weld all-around. This doesn't make any sense to me for the inside corner, and the others would require grinding the walls of the tube and I don't think that's what they're looking for.
In my past, I have noted this connection with a fillet weld on the inside corner. The other three sides of the joint would be a closed square butt weld (no gap).
Can anybody confirm the fillet + 3 sides square groove? Or point me in a different direction?
Thanks for Reading,
