Bevel Variants

In butt welding of plates in the same plane the basic type (variant 0) is normally used for plates of equal (or close to equal) thickness.
The variants are used when the thickness differs between the two involved plates.
The bevel variant is normally evaluated quite automatically by the AVEVA Marine bevel handling. For AVEVA Marine to be able to do so, two surfaces of the involved two plates are supposed to coincide (or almost coincide), or the center plane of the two plates must coincide.
The variants are described below by words and then by pictures individually for all the bevel types for butt welding.

Basic type (see above) |
|
1 |
Difference in plate thicknesses. Common plane of plates on negative side of bevel. Chamfer on thicker plate on positive side of bevel. |
|
2 |
Difference in plate thicknesses. Common plane of plates on positive side of bevel. Chamfer on thicker plate on negative side of bevel. |
|
3 |
Difference in plate thicknesses. Common plane of plates on negative side of the bevel. No chamfer on thicker plate. |
|
4 |
Difference in plate thicknesses. Common plane of plates on positive side of bevel. No chamfer on thicker plate. |
|
9 |
Difference in plate thicknesses. Common center plane of plates. Chamfer on thicker plate, equal on both sides. |
