Question

quiz

identify this welding joint type:

• butt joint
• edge joint
• t-joint
• corner joint
• lap joint

Explanation:

Analyze the geometry of the joint

The diagram shows two metal plates positioned perpendicular to each other, forming the shape of the letter "T". One plate is placed flat horizontally, and the other stands vertically on top of its surface, meeting it at approximately a \(90^\circ\) angle.

Match with standard joint definitions

• A butt joint consists of two plates aligned in the same plane.
• An edge joint involves parallel plates with adjacent edges welded.
• A T-joint is formed when two members meet at approximately right angles in the form of a "T".
• A corner joint is formed by two members meeting at right angles at their edges to form an "L".
• A lap joint consists of overlapping plates.

The visual representation matches the definition of a T-joint.

Answer:

• (A) Butt joint
• (B) Edge joint
• (C) T-joint (Correct answer)
• (D) Corner joint
• (E) Lap joint
