A weld in which complete joint penetration has been achieved through the full thickness of the joined materials.
A Full-Penetration Weld is a welded joint in which the weld metal completely penetrates the thickness of the base materials, producing full fusion from one side of the joint to the other. These welds are commonly specified for critical pressure-containing and structural applications where maximum joint strength and integrity are required.
Full-Penetration Welds provide high structural integrity and are frequently required by engineering codes for critical equipment, pressure vessels and piping systems.
Verification of Full-Penetration Welds commonly involves qualified welding procedures, welder qualifications and nondestructive testing such as radiographic or ultrasonic examination.
Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) is the terminology commonly used in many welding standards and is considered equivalent to Full-Penetration Weld.
