Wrong move
Direct answer
The risky shortcut is measuring only the largest part of an uneven weld. Fillet weld size is checked with the correct gauge against drawing or code requirements, considering leg size, throat, contour, and discontinuities.
How to use this answer
Read the answer once, then prove it by choosing an answer in a practice question before looking at the explanation. If the miss repeats, tag the domain as Weld sizing and drill a smaller set before returning to mixed practice.
