Standards for impact barriers
Thread Content
I have been looking at some standards for surge barriers recently. How should the following sentence be understood? “The welds are peripheral fillet welds with a throat thickness of a ≥0.7×S in accordance with EN 22553. I would appreciate advice from experts; thank you! :handshake
The welds are peripheral fillet welds, with a throat thickness of a ≥ 0.7×S in accordance with EN 22553. It would be better to send this to the chemical engineering version in English. But since you’ve come across me, who specializes in container-related English content, I’ll help you out: In general, the requirement for the fillet weld sizes of the impact protection barriers is that a ≥ 0.7s; this is based on EN 22553, \"Code for Welding Symbolism.\" In this context, s should be indicated by a diagram – it likely refers to the wall thickness of the impact protection barrier.
The translation is provided above; more precisely, the root gap height a should be ≥0.7s. ASME prefers to use the height of the weld core to express this value, while European standards seem to use the root gap height instead
