Where is the fillet weld in a CSA 2G test assembly located?

In a CSA 2G weld test, the geometry is a butt joint that is tested in the horizontal position with a groove to be filled by weld metal. That test is specifically about a groove weld, not a fillet weld, so the assembly is prepared without any fillet welds. The purpose is to evaluate the quality of the groove weld—root penetration, fusion, and cap passes—across the groove, not to assess a fillet at the joint corners. Therefore, there is no fillet weld present in a CSA 2G test assembly.
