Length of Fillet Leg in Lap Joints from Shrinkage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Fillet Leg = (Transverse Shrinkage*Plate Thickness in Lap Joint)/1.52
h = (s*p_tl)/1.52
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Fillet Leg - (Measured in Meter) - The length of fillet leg in welding is the distance from the root of the fillet weld to the toe, measured along the legs of the triangular cross-section.
Transverse Shrinkage - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage is a shrinkage of the metal result of contraction of the base metal.
Plate Thickness in Lap Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness in Lap Joint refers to the thickness of the overlapping plates that are welded together.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transverse Shrinkage: 4 Millimeter --> 0.004 Meter (Check conversion here)
Plate Thickness in Lap Joint: 800.17 Millimeter --> 0.80017 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = (s*p_tl)/1.52 --> (0.004*0.80017)/1.52

Evaluating ... ...

h = 0.00210571052631579

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00210571052631579 Meter -->2.10571052631579 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.10571052631579 ≈ 2.105711 Millimeter <-- Length of Fillet Leg

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is called Distortion in welding terms ?

One of the major problems found with weldments is the distortion. Distortion is caused mainly because of the shrinkage that take place in weldments. The shrinkage taking place in a weldment depends upon the geometry and type of the weld. There are three types of distortions possible in weldments.

(a) Transverse shrinkage occurring perpendicular to the weld line.
(b) Longitudinal shrinkage occurring parallel to the weld line, which is very small of the order of about 0.1% of the weld length and hence can be neglected.
(c) Angular change as a rotation about the weld line.
