Nominal tube thickness, t 2.11 mm
Allowable stess in tube, Sa 138 Mpa from ASME II-D Table A-1
Allowable stress of material to
which tube is welded, St 138 MPa *from ASME II-D Table A-1
Allowable stess in weld, Sw 138 Mpa Lesser of Sa and St
Fillet Weld Leg, af 2 mm
Groove Weld Leg, ag 0.4 mm
Full Strength Weld UW-20.6 (Fillet as per sketch a)

Weld Strength Factor, fw 1 (fw= Sa/Sw)

Ratio of design strength to tube
strength, fd 1 1 for full strength weld
Minimum required length of fillet
weld leg, ar 3.082362931 mm (as per equation 20.6(a) above)

Fillet Weld leg, af 2 mm (as per UW-20.6(a)(1)

Greater of ar or t 3.08236293 mm
af< [greater of ar or t], Fillet size NOT OK
