On planar plates parts, a chamfer is based on the distance between the outer surfaces of the two parts (line 1-4 and line 3-5, which are equal for planar plates).

At a plate knuckle, the plate parts are split is along the bisecting angle of the knuckle (line 1-2). A chamfer is based on the distance between the outer surfaces of the two parts, measured from the split location (4) to the outer surface of the thicker plate (line 1-3). The chamfer location begins at the actual split location (4):

Chamfers on Offshore Structure

In some cases, chamfers are treated differently for offshore structure.

For cans, used in tubular offshore structure:

The chamfer is based on the distance between the outer surfaces of the two plate parts, measured along the normal edge of the tube (line 3-2) from the "theoretical" split location (5) to the outer surface of the thicker plate (3). The chamfer location passes through the "theoretical" split location (5):

For other offshore structure:

  1. Chamfers are not placed on the length edge of a built-up flange.

  2. Chamfers are not placed on the edge of a side plate or ring plate that is bounding the secondary deck plate

  3. Chamfers are placed on continuity and transition plates when they are butt welded to the web of a member.

  4. Chamfers are placed on the edge of a side plate and ring plate that is butt welded to the flange of a member.
