Skill Sequence
Fillet ‘T’ joint in flat position (1F)
Objectives: At the end of this exercise, you shall be able to
• prepare and make ‘T’ joint in flat position.
Set the pieces in alignment forming 92° between the plates Fig 1.
This presetting to 92° is done to compensate the effect of shrinkage forces when weld deposit cools down.
Tack-weld the pieces at both ends of the Tee joint by using a 3.15mm dia. medium coated M.S. electrode and
110/120 amps welding current.
Ensure the tacks are well fused at the root.
Check the alignment of the Tee joint after tacking.
