Butt Weld Throat Area Equation and Calculation

Butt Weld Orientation	Weld Illustration	Throat Area of Butt Weld [mm2, in2]
		Full Weld Length	Active Load-bearing Length
Butt End Tube Weld
Circumferential Tube Weld
Angled Relative to applied load
Normal to Applied Load

Where:
A	= Area in2
	= Weld angle [deg]
s	= Plate or tube thickness [mm, in]
L	= Length of weld [mm, in]
	= pi (3.14157)
