In the 2006 book page 92 B-L2c-S what is the range of the root face dimensions as fit up for base metal thickness of 1 inch ? Is it f=1/4 max pluse 1/16 if that is right I guess I just don't understand sence I have never had to use this.
I think the requirements are poorly communicated in this joint detail.
Basically I understand that the designer/detailer has the option to choose some value between 0 and 1/4in for the root face in his drawings. The welder/fitter must come with 1/16in of whatever value is used on the detail/shop drawing.
I would like to see the code state this requirement this way: root face = 1/4in as detailed = +0, -1/4in as fitup = +/- 1/16in
This is the same requirement but stated in a clearer manner.
