| Type of Weld Stress |
Permissible Stress |
| 2. Partial Penetration Groove Welds |
(a) Compression normal to effective throat |
Designed not to bear - 0.50 x Nominal tensile strength of weld metal (ksi) except stress on base metal shall not exceed 0.60 x yield stress of base metal.
Designed to bear. Same as base metal.
|
| (b) Tension or compression parallel to axis of the weld. |
Same as base metal. |
| (c) Shear parallel to axis of weld |
0.30 x Nominal tensile strength of weld metal (ksi) except stress on base metal shall not exceed 0.40 x yield stress of base metal. |
| (d) Tension normal to effective throat |
0.30 x Nominal tensile strength of weld metal (ksi) except stress on base metal shall not exceed 0.40 x yield stress of base metal. |
