WORKING DRAWING AND

WELDING SYMBOLS
ASTE 3030
Objectives
 Define working drawing, print, orthographic
projection, and mechanical drawing
 Create a working drawing of your project
 Differentiate and use different types of lines used
on a drawing
 Identify welding symbols
 Identify welding joints and positions
 Compare and contrast welding positions and joints
Terms
 Mechanical Drawing
A drawing done with the aid of instruments
 Working Drawing
 Drawings that are used to produce a part or product.
They may be detail or assembly drawings
 They must have enough views of an object to show the
necessary details, edges, and contours for construction
purposes
 Print
 Copy made of the original drawing
Terms
 Orthographic Projection
A drawing that shows separate views of an object,
usually the front, top, and end.
 Oblique Drawing
A representation of an object with one axis vertical,
one axis horizontal, and the third axis at a convenient
angle. Only the front face is the true shape of the
object.

Welding symbol
Fillet weld
 Fillet weld triangular-shaped weld placed on the
joint
 Fillet weld symbol triangular in shape
 Verticalline of fillet weld symbol always drawn to left
of symbol
 Size always shown to left of symbol and length to right
of symbol
 No length given, then weld should run full length of joint
Fillet Example
Fillet weld length and pitch
Groove Weld
 Place in a joint (fill a void)
 Used to make butt joints, but can be used to make
other types of joints
 Double bevel
 One of joint members has bevel on both sides and joint
is to be welded from both sides
 V shape
V-Groove Weld
Double V-Groove
