    This document defines key terms used to describe weld joint geometry and features. It explains that to fully describe a weld joint, one must understand terms like joint root, groove face, root face, bevel angle, groove angle, and groove radius. Defining these features is important for welding procedures and production as different values impact the weld. The document provides diagrams and definitions for each term to precisely communicate weld joint designs.

    It may be necessary to describe
    the exact joint design
    • Once you can identify the types of joints,
    you must be able to identify individual
    features that make up the joint geometry for
    a particular joint
    • These features and elements are often
    essential variables in welding procedure, as
    well as production welding
    • Welding personal may required to apply
    this knowledge once in the industry
    Parts of a weld
    • Joint root
    • Groove face
    • Root face
    • Root edge
    • Root opening
    • Bevel
    • Bevel angle
    • Groove angle
    • Groove radius
    Joint root is “ that portion of a joint to
    be welded where the members are
    closest to each other
    • The joint root may be
    either a point, line, or
    an area
    • The joint roots are
    shown as shaded areas
    in (A)-(D) and lines in
    (E) (F)
    Groove Face, Root Face, and
    Root Edge
    • Groove face is “ that
    surface of a member
    included in the
    groove”
    • Root face (land) is
    “that portion of the
    groove face within the
    joint root”
    • Root edge is a root
    face of zero width
    Root Opening and Bevel

    •Root opening is the


    separation between the
    work pieces at the joint
    root
    •Bevel (chamfer) is an
    angular edge
    preparation
    Bevel Angle, Groove Angle, and
    Groove Radius
    • Bevel angle is the angle
    between the bevel of a
    joint member and a plane
    perpendicular to the
    surface of the member
    • Groove angle the total
    included angle of the
    groove between members
    •Groove radius applies
    only to J-&U- groove
    welds
    Extra information is necessary to
    describe the exact joint design

    • For a single-bevel-groove-weld, the bevel


    angle and the groove angle are equal
    • Groove radius is “the radius used to form
    the shape of a J- or U- groove weld.”
    Normally the weld configuration is
    specified by both an angle and a radius
