    - Butt weld: It is obtained when two plates are placed side by side with their edges touching each other.

    - Different types of butt welds are:

    1) Square butt weld: Square butt weld is used when plate thickness is less than 5 mm. The edges of these welds do not require beveling.

    2) Single V or U-butt weld: This weld is used when plate thickness is between 5 mm and 12.5 mm. These welds are beveled to V or U groove.

    3) Double V or U-butt weld: This weld is used when plate thickness is more than 12.5 mm.
