What would be the weld thickness we consider for steel plates as per EN ISO 15609-1?.,
As I generally know that, It is 0.7 x WT.

Fillet weld (between two perpendicular plates) or a butt weld between two identical plates?

 

[pantheist]

Requirement is for fillet weld.,However please suggest for both options

I'm beginning to think his company sizes welds based on 0.7 times material wall thickness - regardless of wall material or use or weld metal or anything else. Or stress, vibration, or pressure or ...

Agreed. Is it just me or has engineering really become so unprofessional and inept.
