(610 mm). Joints to be shapes for structural applications. The joint details used for tubular connections should have a groove conform to the design and dimensions for Prequalified angle of not less than 60°. Joint Details in AWS D1.1/D1.1M:2004, Structural Welding Code—Steel. The user should consult AWS These joint details specifically apply to welded joints D1.1/D1.1M:2004 (or later edition) for joint dimen- made in low carbon construction steels.
