European Union (CEN) standards The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) had issued numerous standards covering welding processes, which unified and replaced former national standards. Of the former national standards, those issued by BSI and DIN were widely used outside their countries of origin. After the Vienna Agreement with ISO, CEN has replaced most of them with equivalent ISO standards (EN ISO series)

Additional requirements for welding exist in CEN codes and standards for specific products, like EN 12952, EN 12953, EN 13445, EN 13480, etc. German Standards (DIN and others) NA 092 is the Standards Committee for welding and allied processes (NAS) at DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e.

Table Of Contents Types Of Welding Joints • Tee Welding Joint • Lap Welding Joint • Edge Welding Joint • Corner Welding Joint • Butt Welding Joint • Fillet Welding Joint

1) Tee Joint

Tee welding joints are formed when two members intersect at a 90° angle which makes the edges come together in the center of a plate or component. Tee Joints are considered a type of fillet weld, and can also be made when a pipe or tube is welded onto a base plate. Extra care is required to ensure effective penetration into the roof of the weld Welding Styles Used To Create T-Joints

• Plug weld • Fillet weld • Bevel-groove weld • Slot weld • Flare-bevel-groove weld • J-groove weld

2) Lap Welding Joint Lap welding joints are used most often to joint two pieces with differing thicknesses together. Also considered a fillet type, the weld can be made on one or both sides. A Lap Joint is formed when 2 pieces are placed in an over lapping pattern on top of each other. Welding Styles Used To Create Butt Joints:

• Slot weld • Plug weld • Bevel-groove weld • Spot weld • Flare-bevel-groove weld • J-groove weld

3) Edge Welding Joint Edge welding Joints are often applied to sheet metal parts that have flanging edges or are placed at a location where a weld must be made to attach to adjacent pieces. Being a groove type weld, Edge Joints, the pieces are set side by side and welded on the same edge. For heavier applications filler metal is added to melt or fuse the edge completely and to reinforce the plate.

Welding Styles Used To Create Edge Joints:

• Bevel-groove weld • Square-groove weld or butt weld • J-groove weld • V-groove weld • Edge-flange weld • U-groove weld • Corner-flange weld

4) Corner Welding Joint Corner Joint Being one of the most popular welds in the sheet metal industry the Corner welding joint is used on the outer edge of the piece. This weld is a type of joint that comes together at right angles between two metal parts to form an L. These are common in the construction of boxes, box frames and similar fabrications.

Welding Styles Used To Create Corner Joints:

• Spot weld • Fillet weld • V-groove weld • Square-groove weld or butt weld • U-groove weld • Bevel-groove weld • Flare-V-groove weld • J-groove weld • Corner-flange weld. • Edge weld 5) Butt Welding Joint

Butt Joint Being the universally accepted method for attaching a pipe to itself it’s also used for valves, flanges, fittings, and other equipment. A butt welding joint is also known as a square grove weld. It’s the easiest and probably the most common weld there is. It consists of two flat pieces that are side by side parallel. It’s a very affordable option.

Welding Styles Used To Create Butt Joints:

• Bevel-groove butt weld • Square-groove butt weld • V-groove butt weld • U-groove butt weld • J-groove butt weld • Flare-bevel-groove butt weld • Flare-V-groove butt weld

6) Fillet Welding Joint

Fillet Welded Joints

Fillet Welded Joints are just another terminology for corner, lap, and tee joints. Fillet Welded Joints are the most common type of welding joint and accounts for nearly 75% of joints made with arc welding. You do not need to prepare the edge and this type of joint make it easy to weld piping systems. Butt welds are more expensive than fillet welds. Fillet welds are mostly used in piping systems to join pipe to socket joints. Joint Preparation Welding joints can be prepared in numerous ways including: • Casting • Shearing • Machining • Forging • Filing • Stamping • Oxyacetylene cutting (thermal cutting process) • Routing • Grinding • Plasma arc cutting (thermal cutting process)
