Tee fillet vertical up practice

[MichaelV]

How often are run on/off plates used in the real world, or are they mostly used for training?

An example... often found in FP (or PP) butt welds. Can be an essential part of achieving quality joint.

Exactly so, WW... ideally you don’t even want to perceive them at all so there’s seamless transition from the RO-RO plates to the weld proper.

Oh i see. So the whole weld section you use is perfect with no stops or starts in it.

I take it you just lop them off with a grinder when done?

What is FP/PP? Full penetration and part penetration?

Yup that is it I know it's either cut off with gas axe or grinder

Yes there used to ensure the quality of the weld--starts and stops generally problematic. Yes lop em off and some shaping needed. FP/PP yes correct FP would be the the whole of the part and more PP would be but not limited to a fillet weld .
