Svetslängder

Svetslängder, often translated as weld lengths, refer to the specified measurement of the continuous length of a weld in a technical drawing or specification. This is a critical parameter in welding design and fabrication, ensuring the structural integrity and performance of a welded joint. The svetslängd indicates the extent to which two or more pieces of material are joined by welding.

When specifying a svetslängd, it is typically indicated on a drawing using a weld symbol. This symbol, along with other information like the weld size, type of weld, and welding process, provides a complete instruction for the welder. The actual measured length of the deposited weld material should correspond to the specified svetslängd. Deviations can affect the load-bearing capacity and overall strength of the assembly.

The svetslängd is particularly important in structural applications, pressure vessels, and other critical components where the weld plays a significant role in safety and function. Accurate determination and control of svetslängder are essential for quality control in welding processes. It is a fundamental aspect of weld engineering and is included in relevant welding codes and standards.
