Figure 3.3 Prequalified CJP Groove Welded Joint DetailsThis is one of those questions you can't find by looking in the index, you have to know that Figure 3.3 and 3.2 is where you look up prequalified joints, First go to the Legend on page 65, which lets you know what the letters and numbers mean, B=butt joint, U unlimited, 3=double V groove, a= backing (I know this because my teacher had us write it in the book along with the letter b =no backing, and c= other minor differences) The book states lower case letters are used to differentiate between joints that would otherwise have the same joint designation and S = SAW. Now look for joint B-U3a-S in the Figure 3.3 Page 85 it will show you Spacer = 1/4 x R, R =5/8 so your answer is 1/4 x 5/8 ....
