Weld Joint Geometry and Weld Symbols: Parts of A Weld Joint Welding Technology Lee Co. ATC

This document defines and describes the key parts and features of weld joint geometry, which are important for specifying welding procedures and production welding. It identifies elements such as the joint root, groove face, root face, bevel, bevel angle, groove angle, and groove radius. Having knowledge of these features is necessary to fully describe a particular joint design and the variables that affect welding.

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

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

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
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
