Perpendicular Beveled Plug Weld Joint Calculation

Weld Design Menu

The following equations will determine the shear stress for a Perpendicular Beveled Plug Weld Joint.

Perpendicular Beveled Plug Weld Joint

Shear Stress in Weld Base Area

Shear Stress in Weld Base Area Formula
Where:
Shear Stress =  Shear Stress [MPa,psi]

d

= Diameter of plug weld [mm, in]

F

= Force [N, lb]

Shear Stress in Weld Peripheral Area

Shear Stress in Weld Peripheral Area

Where:
= Shear Stress
d = Diameter of plug weld [mm, in]
s = Plate thickness [mm,in]
i =Number of welds
F = Force [N, lb]
