Root Opening given Transverse Shrinkage Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Root Opening = (Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint-5.08*(Cross Sectional Area of Weld/Plate Thickness in Butt Joint))/1.27
d = (S_b-5.08*(A_w/p_tb))/1.27
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Root Opening - (Measured in Meter) - Root Opening is defined as the point at which the two pieces to be joined by welding is nearest.
Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint is a shrinkage of the metal result of contraction of the base metal after the metal pieces are welded face to face at the thinner end.
Cross Sectional Area of Weld - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Sectional Area of Weld is the area of region where welding is being done.
Plate Thickness in Butt Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Plate Thickness in Butt Joint is the distance through the bearing plate that are welded face to face at the thinner end.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transverse Shrinkage of Butt Joint: 0.365 Millimeter --> 0.000365 Meter (Check conversion here)
Cross Sectional Area of Weld: 5.5 Square Millimeter --> 5.5E-06 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Plate Thickness in Butt Joint: 802.87 Millimeter --> 0.80287 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = (S_b-5.08*(A_w/p_tb))/1.27 --> (0.000365-5.08*(5.5E-06/0.80287))/1.27

Evaluating ... ...

d = 0.000259999878389035

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000259999878389035 Meter -->0.259999878389035 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.259999878389035 ≈ 0.26 Millimeter <-- Root Opening

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.
