A thread-o-let is a female by weld connection. It is commonly seen on large diameter pipes where a valve or other connection (typically much smaller in diameter) is made.
The required size for a seal weld per AISC is eighteen foot length. AISC also specifies minimum weld size based on the thicknesses of the members joined.
In welding, "TOC" stands for "Top of Cone." It refers to the highest point of the conical shape in a weld-o-let fitting. This designation is important for ensuring proper alignment and placement during installation, as it indicates the orientation of the fitting in relation to the pipe. Proper identification of TOC helps achieve optimal welding and reduces the risk of misalignment.

To calculate the number of welding rods needed for a fillet weld, first determine the weld size and length required. Use the formula for the volume of the weld, which is the weld size (throat thickness) multiplied by the length of the weld and the number of passes needed. Then, convert this volume into weight by considering the density of the welding rod material. Finally, divide the total weight of the weld metal by the weight of a single welding rod to find the number of rods required.
The welding symbol provides essential information about the weld, including the type of weld (e.g., fillet, groove), the size of the weld, the length of the weld, the welding process to be used, and any specific requirements for the weld, such as the finish or pre-weld treatments. It may also indicate the position of the weld and any additional details regarding the joint preparation. This standardized communication ensures consistency and clarity in welding operations.
The size of a fillet weld for a 20mm plate typically follows the guidelines outlined in relevant welding codes and standards. Generally, the leg length of the fillet weld should be at least 0.7 times the thickness of the thicker plate being welded, which would suggest a minimum leg size of around 14mm. However, it's essential to consider factors such as joint configuration and loading conditions, which may influence the final weld size. Always consult specific engineering requirements and codes for precise applications.
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.
A fillet weld in any single continuous weldmay underrun the nominal fillet weld size specified by2 mm [1/16 in] without correction, provided that theundersize portion of the weld does not exceed 10% of thelength of the weld. On the web-to-flange welds on girders,underrun shall be prohibited at the ends for a lengthequal to twice the width of the flange.
let say you have 4" dia. of pipe and 10 welds so the total diameter inch of weld are 4 x 10 = 40 dia. inches
I am not sure but I would assume two things about joint design and its effect on the weld and visa versa: penetration and overall strength of the weld would depend greatly on what grove you are welding in or on and the amount of distortion would vary greatly depending on how large of root opening and weld size etc.
