Secondary Operations:
Spin Welding: Tongue and Groove 'A'



Critical Constraints
  • T = Wall thickness
  • A = Depth of weld, ~0.5 x T to 0.8 x T (minimum)
  • C,D = Weld surface, ~2.5 x T
  • *Maintain ~0.01 in. (0.25 mm) gap between mating surfaces as shown after welding.
Notes
  • Ribs are spaced on periphery of flange for stiffness and gripping in spin welder.
