Question
A circular tube of thickness and diameter is welded to a flat plate using fillet weld along the circumference. Assume Fe410 steel and shop welding.As per IS 800:2007, the torque that can be resisted by the weld (in kN.m) is ______ (round off to one decimal place).
Correct answer
(A) 65.1
Solution
Given:
Diameter of tube
Weld size
Throat thickness
For Fe410 steel, ultimate strength .
For shop welding, partial safety factor .
Design strength of the weld .
The torque capacity of a circular fillet weld is given by:Rounding to one decimal place, we get .
