Remarks on (equal) fillet weld leg sizes, tw:

1) for tw = 3-5 mm: Used for a minimum size fillet weld (fable 9.7.3.2 of AS 4100)
2) for tw = 6-8 mm: Sizes preferred for standard connections;'" single pass welds.
3) for tw = 10-12mm: Not recommended for all cases - cannot be guaranteed as single
welds. Check with fabricator before specifying.
