Weld preparation involves preparing the components to be joined by welding or brazing at specific angles and distances. For manual metal arc welding of carbon steel plates, a V preparation has an angle of 25-30 degrees, a U preparation is 8-12 degrees, a single bevel is 40-50 degrees, and a J preparation is 10-20 degrees. The root face for a full penetration weld on carbon steel plates is between 1-2mm, the gap is 1-4mm, and the root radius for a single J or U weld using manual metal arc welding is approximately 3-5mm.

Weld Preparation
A preparation for making a connection where the individual components,
suitably prepared and assembled, are joined by welding or brazing. 4.1 Features of the weld preparation Angle of bevel The angle at which the edge of a component is prepared for making a weld. For an MMA weld on carbon steel plates, the angle is: 25-30 for a V preparation. 8-12o for a U preparation. 40-50o for a single bevel preparation. 10-20o for a J preparation. Included angle The angle between the planes of the fusion faces of parts to be welded. In the case of single V or U and double V or U this angle is twice the bevel angle. In the case of single or double bevel, single or double J bevel, the included angle is equal to the bevel angle. Root face The portion of a fusion face at the root that is not bevelled or grooved. Its value depends on the welding process used, parent material to be welded and application; for a full penetration weld on carbon steel plates, it has a value between 1-2mm (for the common welding processes). Gap The minimum distance at any cross section between edges, ends or surfaces to be joined. Its value depends on the welding process used and application; for a full penetration weld on carbon steel plates, it has a value between 1-4mm. Root radius The radius of the curved portion of the fusion face in a component prepared for a single J or U, double J or U weld. In case of MMA, MIG/MAG and
