How to Evaluate Strength of Butt Welded Joint?

Strength of Butt Welded Joint evaluator uses Tensile Stress in Weld = Tensile Force on Welded Plates/(Beam Width for Nominal Shear*Length of Weld) to evaluate the Tensile Stress in Weld, Strength of Butt Welded Joint is the ratio of tensile force on the plate to the product of throat thickness and length of the weld. It is the maximum amount of stress that the welded joint can bear. Tensile Stress in Weld is denoted by σt symbol.

How to evaluate Strength of Butt Welded Joint using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Strength of Butt Welded Joint, enter Tensile Force on Welded Plates (P), Beam Width for Nominal Shear (bns) & Length of Weld (L) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Strength of Butt Welded Joint

What is the formula to find Strength of Butt Welded Joint?
