LEARNING 1. Discuss the acceptable criteria for butt, socket, and fillet weld
OBJECTIVES 2. differentiate equal leg fillet weld from unequal leg fillet weld
IMPORTANT: Do not write anything on this material. Write your answers on the learner’s activity and
assessment sheets provided separately.
UNDERSTAND
ACCEPTABLE CRITERIA FOR COMPLETED WELDS
Butt Welds
• As-welded surfaces are permitted; however, the surface of welds shall be sufficientl y free from
coarse ripples, grooves, overlaps, abrupt ridges, undercut, and valleys.
• The surface condition of the finished welds shall be suitable for the proper interpretation of
radiographic and other non -destructive examinations when non -destructive examinations are
required. In those cases where there is a question regarding the surface condition on the
interpretation of a radiographic film, the film shall be compared to the actual weld surface for
interpretation and determination of acceptability.
• Undercuts shall not exceed 1/32 in. and shall not encroach on the minimum required se ction
thickness.
• For single-welded joints (i.e., butt joints welded from one side), concavity of the root surface shall
not reduce the total thickness of the joint, including reinforcement, to less than the nominal
thickness of the thinner component being joined. (This applies only when inside surface of the
weld is readily accessible or the weld has been radiographed.)
• For single welded joints, the excess root penetration shall be limited to the lesser of 1/8 in. or 25
% of the nominal wall thickness of the thinner component being joined, down to ¼ in. wall
thickness. For any nominal wall thickness less than ¼ in., the excess penetration shall be limited
to 1/16 in. (applies only when inside surface of the weld is readily accessible or the weld has
been radiographed).
• Weld reinforcement greater than the amounts specified in the weld reinforcement table at the end
of this attachment shall be considered unacceptable.
Socket and Fillet Welds
• As-welded surfaces are permitted; however, the surface of welds shall be sufficiently free from
coarse ripples, grooves, overlaps, abrupt ridges, undercut, and valleys.
• The surface condition of the finished welds shall be su itable for the proper interpretation of non-
destructive examinations.
• Socket and fillet welds may vary from convex to concave. The size of a fillet weld is determined
as shown in fillet weld diagrams at the end of this attachment. Typical minimum fillet weld details
for slip-on flanges and socket-welding components are also contained in fillet weld diagrams at
the end of this attachment.

X min. = 1.4 T1 or thickness of the Hub, whichever is smaller, but not less than 1/8 in. T1 = minimum
pipe wall thickness.
Notes:
(1) All rejected welds must be repaired or replaced as necessary to meet applicable quality standards.
(2) Welder may be required to demonstrate ability to perform welds meeting the quality standards
(3) Progressive sampling may also be applied for required visual examination (VT).
(4) The Flow chart may be applied with the Ultrasonic method an alternative to RT.

Key Points
✓ Welding is not purely f ocus on skill but also on engineering and mathematical computations.
✓ Weld reinf orcement table f or acceptable criteria f or butt, socket, and f illet welds are indicated on ASME B31.3
✓ Welding involves accuracy of welds, works, and outputs

Directions: Read each statement below carefully. Write capital letter “T” if you think the statement is “TRUE” and
capital letter “F” if you think the statement is “FALSE”. Write your answer on the answer sheet provided.
__1. All rejected welds must be repaired or replaced as necessary to meet applicable quality standards.
__2. Weld reinforcement lesser than the amounts specified in the weld reinforcement table at the end of this
attachment shall be considered unacceptable.
__3. For butt weld, Undercuts shall not exceed 1/32 in. and shall not encroach on the minimum required section
thickness.
__4. The “size” of an unequal leg fillet weld is the length of the largest inscribed right Isosceles triangle.
__5. External weld reinforcement and internal weld protrusion shall not be fused with and shall merge smoothly
into the component surface.
__6. For single welded joints, the excess root penetration shall be limited to the lesser of 3/4 in. or 75 % of the
nominal wall thickness of the thinner component being joined, down to ¼ in. wall thickness.
__7. For unequal leg fillet welds, the “size” of the weld is the leg length of the largest Right triangle which can be
inscribed within the fillet weld cross section.
__8. For socket and fillet welds, the surface condition of the finished welds shall be suitable for the proper
interpretation of non-destructive examinations.
__9. For any nominal wall thickness less than ¼ in., the excess penetration shall be limited to 1/16 in.
__10. Welder may be required to demonstrate ability to perform welds meeting the quality standards
