Location of weld symbol wrt joint* Welds on the arrow side of the joint are shown by placing the weld symbol below the reference line Welds on the other side of the joint are shown by placing the weld symbol above the reference line Welds on both sides of the joint are shown by placing the weld symbol on both sides of the reference line

WELDING DRAWINGS WELD TERMINOLOGY

Field welds & All around welds Weld extending completely around a joint is indicated by a weld-all-around symbol placed at the intersection of the reference line and the arrow Not required for welds extending around the circumference of a pipe Not made in the shop or at the place of initial construction Small black flag symbol* is placed above and at right angles to the reference line

Last slide on weld symbols Multiple reference lines indicate a sequence of operations to be done at a single location* Tail of welding symbol* Welding process Omitted when no references are required

WELDING DRAWINGS COMBINED WELDING SYMBOLS

Design of welded joints The size of the weld should always be designed with reference to the size of the thinner member Fillets welds are cheaper and easier to apply than groove Full-strength fillet welds joining 2 different thicknesses of material should be sized using a table of recommended full strength weld sizes based on the thinner plate*

18-3 Fillet Welds & weld symbol (WS) Dimensions of fillet welds are shown on the same side of the reference line as the WS & to the left Specify dimensions of fillet welds on both sides of a joint Vertical part of fillet weld symbol always on left* If using a general note giving fillet weld dimensions, dimensions may be left off WS If dimensions differ from general note show them on WS Length of weld shown to right of WS

More on fillet welds… Staggered intermittent fillet welds are designated in the weld symbol by staggering where the weld symbol appears on the reference line (p.724*)

Size of fillet welds A practical method to size fillet welds is to design the weld for the thinner plate, making it sufficient to carry 1/3 to ½ the carrying capacity of the plate.

18-4 Groove Weld symbol Dimensions of groove weld are shown on the same side of the reference line as the welding symbol When both sides of a double-groove weld have the same (or different) dimension, both sides are dimensioned, however the root opening needs to appear only once When a general note governs dimensions of groove welds, groove welds need not be dimensioned on the weld symbol

Back and Backing welds Back or backing weld symbols are used to indicate bead-type back or backing welds of singe-groove welds The back weld is made after the groove weld The backing weld is made before the groove weld
