Question

In welding fillet, the normal arc length is A. 1/16-1/8inch B. 1/8-3/16inch C. ¼-3/8inch D. 5/16-½inch​

Answer 1

In welding fillet, the normal arc length is 1/16-1/8inch.

• The arc length, also called the arc gap is the distance between electrode tip and the part to be welded.
• Arc length depends on weld current.
• For efficient usage, arc length should not be greater than the diameter of the core of electrode.
• Generally, an arc length of around 0.10 inch is taken as normal arc length and is taken as base measurement.
