raises the sides of the perpendicular member further. Worst, there are
tolerance variations between Tube and HSS for dimension, square, thickness
and radius. You have to be clear on what is being used.
I always show flare bevel instead of fillet. In my opinion, backing bar or
other special requirements to make a flare bevel work in this instance are
the responsibility of the fabricator, their weld engineer and in-house weld
processes. If they find that they can't fit it up to suit my detail,
including dressing the end, they need to call me. They should be aware of
potential problems when estimating work on HSS and qualify their quotes if
they don't have complete details.
