Welding Symbols
Weld symbols are used to transfer information from the design office to the workshop and contain five basic components
The arrow line: the arrow line must touch the joint reference area on
parallel with the bottom of the drawing page
the drawing
The reference line: the reference line must touch the arrow line and is generally The symbol: the vertical line in the symbols for a fillet weld, single/double bevel butts and a J-butt welds must always be on the left side. The dimensions: In most standards the cross sectional dimensions are given to the left side, and all linear dimensions are give on the right side Supplementary information: such as welding process, weld profile, NDT and any special instructions
