I'm practicing for D1.1 CWI code test and this question has me stumped.
"What is the effective size flare-V groove weld that the engineer can take credit for when two 3" bars are welded with GMAW the joint is filled flush?"
According to Code Clinic workbook the answer is 1 1/8". Referencing table 4.1
Table 4.1 says
Flare-V Groove
GMAW 3/4 R
Can anyone explain how the answer 1 1/8" was calculated?
