Q

A weld with triangular cross sections is used to join two surfaces at right angles toeach other, and is called a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Common weld types used in ship construction and repair • The geometric shape of the weld’s cross-section (triangular) • How two plates or surfaces at 90° (right angle) are normally joined in structural work

💭 Think About

• Which weld type is specifically used to connect two surfaces that meet at an angle, like a plate to a frame or bracket? • Look at the words in each option and recall where you’ve seen them on drawings or in practice—what joint configuration is each one commonly associated with? • Which weld type is typically continuous along the length of the joint and has a triangular cross section in side view?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a joint between two surfaces at right angles, not just closing a gap or making a temporary hold • Recall which weld symbol on drawings shows a triangular profile at the joint • Eliminate weld types that are mainly used as temporary holds or for filling round/plugged holes rather than forming an angle joint
