  3. It may be necessary to describe the exact joint design • Once you can identify the types of joints, you must be able to identify individual features that make up the joint geometry for a particular joint • These features and elements are often essential variables in welding procedure, as well as production welding • Welding personal may required to apply this knowledge once in the industry

  4. Parts of a weld • Joint root • Groove face • Root face • Root edge • Root opening • Bevel • Bevel angle • Groove angle • Groove radius

  5. Joint root is “ that portion of a joint to be welded where the members are closest to each other • The joint root may be either a point, line, or an area • The joint roots are shown as shaded areas in (A)-(D) and lines in (E) (F)

  6. Groove Face, Root Face, and Root Edge • Groove face is “ that surface of a member included in the groove” • Root face (land) is “that portion of the groove face within the joint root” • Root edge is a root face of zero width

  7. Root Opening and Bevel • Root opening is the separation between the work pieces at the joint root • Bevel (chamfer) is an angular edge preparation

  8. Bevel Angle, Groove Angle, and Groove Radius • Bevel angle is the angle between the bevel of a joint member and a plane perpendicular to the surface of the member • Groove angle the total included angle of the groove between members • Groove radius applies only to J-&U- groove welds

  9. Extra information is necessary to describe the exact joint design • For a single-bevel-groove-weld, the bevel angle and the groove angle are equal • Groove radius is “the radius used to form the shape of a J- or U- groove weld.” Normally the weld configuration is specified by both an angle and a radius
