AST fabricated to API 650 is normally designed not to exceed an operating temperature of: 7 260 deg C 100 deg C oe 90 deg C d. 21 degC. 2. Minimum size of fillet welds in the construction or repairs of an AST built to API Standard 650 is: a. Higher of 6 mm (0.25") or half of the thickness of thinner plate joined. b. Higher of 9 mm (0.25) or one third of the thickness of thicker plate joined. ¢. Higher of 5 mm (0.1875") or one third of the thickness of thinner plate joined. d. Lower of 6 mm (0.25") or half of the thickness of thinner plate joined. 3. As per API Standard 650, the overlap at lap-welded joints shall be at least five times the nominal thickness of the thinner plate, but need not exceed, a, 2" for single-welded lap joints and 4” for double welded lap joints, b. 1" for single-welded lap joints and 2" for double welded lap joints ¢. 1.5" for single-welded lap joints and 2” for double welded lap joints d. 1.5" for single-welded lap joints and 1” for double welded lap joints 4.
