However, in practical structural

bolting situations it is never worthwhile considering 4.6X/S category as
S.SN/S is always more economic.

for tw = 6-8 mm: Sizes preferred for standard connections;'" single pass welds.

3)

for tw = 10-12mm: Not recommended for all cases - cannot be guaranteed as single
