Active Fillet Weld Height Specification

Weld Design Menu

The active fillet weld height specification is the largest isosceles triangle which may be inscribed with the theoretical weld cross-section.

The theoretical fillet weld size height approximately specifies a = .7 as given by trigonometry, where z is the fillet weld width.  The minimum fillet weld height should be selected based on the actual thickness of the thickest weld part and the strength of the material.
