Weld joint preparation

[Syedt]

Hi,
What is the standard procedure for joint preparation for tee joint if plate thickness is 1/2 inch,bevel necessary or not.

Assuming a full penetration groove weld, a single V-bevel. Assuming a fillet weld tee-joint., no prep.

weldstan,
With all due respect your comment is misleading.
It is either single V or single bevel - it cannot be both.
If it is a Tee joint (and full penetration required) it can be a single bevel or double bevel,
Cheers,
DD

Syedt, what code construction have you been using now? then by the code someone could help you. My understand if you are following the ASME 9 the single bevel or double bevel could be prepared for your PQR.

DekDee,
I did mean to say a single bevel.
For a 1/2" thickness, beveling is required for full penetration.
