2.6 Fillet weld • bottom structure of planing hull in way of jet room
spaces
2.6.1 Fillet welding types • structure in way of bilge keel, stabiliser, bow thruster,
Fillet welding may be of the following types: cranes
• continuous fillet welding, where the weld is constituted • bottom structure in the vicinity of propeller blade
by a continuous fillet on each side of the abutting plate
• primary and secondary stiffeners in way of end supports
• intermittent fillet welding, which may be subdivided
(crosstie, pillars, brackets) and knees on a length extend-
into:
ing over the depth of the stiffener and at least equal to
- chain welding 50 mm for:
- staggered welding. - web stiffener connection with the attached plating
2.6.2 Double continuous fillet weld location - flange stiffener with web of built-up stiffeners
As a general rule, double continuous fillet weld is to be • stiffeners in tanks intended for the carriage of ballast or
required in the following locations, as appropriate: fresh water.
• watertight and oiltight connections • secondary stiffener of deck plating subjected to wheel
• main engine and auxiliary machinery seatings loads.
