a = z x 0.707
Design Throat
Thickness = Leg Length x 0.707
z = a x 1.41
Leg Length = Design Throat Thickness x 1.41
PRACTICE SESSION
Calculating Throat Thickness from a known Leg
Length:
Question: The Leg length is 14mm.
What is the Design Throat?
Answer:
a = z x 0.707
a=14 x 0.707
a = 9.89 mm
PRACTICE SESSION
Calculating Leg Length from a known Design Throat
Thickness:
Z = a x 1.41
a= z x 0.707 Or Z= a ÷ 0.707
Formula: S= a+EWM
EWM= S- a = S- (zx0.707) =8- (7x0.707) = 3.06 Ans.
Throat Thickness Features to Consider
Fillet welds connecting part with fusion faces with an angle more
than 120o or less than 60o should not use the previous calculations
