This document discusses welding symbols used on blueprints to indicate weld placement, size, type, and other details. It explains that the reference line with an arrow points to where welding information applies. Key elements on fillet welds include the weld size, length, intermittent weld length and pitch, and contour requirements. Groove welding symbols also indicate the actual weld size, root opening, groove angle, and contour/finishing details. Understanding these symbols allows welders to properly prepare joints and apply welds.

WELDING SYMBOLS

INTRODUCTION Welding symbols are used on blueprints and drawings to show where the weld is to be placed and may also show the size, type of weld, number of welds, details about the weld and even details about the joint. Welders that fabricate or work with drawing must be able to interpret the welding symbol to prepare the joint and apply a weld that has the required strength and soundness. THE REFERENCE LINE AND ARROW The reference line is one of the most important elements on the welding symbol. All the other elements that describe the weld are on or located around this line. The reference line has a leader and arrow that points to where the information applies. It may also have a tail that has information about the process, specification, or other notes that do not normally have an element that describes them. If the elements on the reference line describe the necessary details (as it does in most cases) the tail is not used. See the examples below:

ARROW SIDE

OTHER ELEMENTS ON REFERENCE LINE

THE FILLET WELD

The names of the parts of the fillet weld KEY POINT: Fillet sounds like fill it (pronounce the T) not fillay as in fillet a fish. The important elements added to a simple fillet weld symbol are as follows; 1. THE SIZE OF THE WELD. 2. THE LENGTH OF THE WELD. 3. THE LENGTH AND PITCH OF INTERMITTENT WELDS. 4. THE CONTOUR REQUIREMENTS. 1. THE SIZE OF THE WELD.

2.THE LENGTH OF THE FILLETWELD.
