Welding Symbols
Ch. 38
• Types of drawings
– Working drawings – drawing of objects used to produce
projects/structures in the shop
– Assembly drawings – shows the object to be made as it would
appear in a fully assembled, ready to use form.
– Detail drawings are made of each different part in the
assembly process.
• The Theory of Orthographic Projection
– Presenting an object and all of its sides and makeup on a flat
piece of paper.
• Building a Weld Symbol
– The main foundation of a weld symbol is a reference line
with an arrow at one end.
– Located above or below the base line is the type of weld to be
performed.
– Reference data is located at the back of the base line,
indicating what type of welding process to be used.
Ref
Data
• All data is indicated by geometric figures, numerical values, and
abbreviations. *The tail may be left off if not reference data is to be
used

• The most important factor in a welding symbol is the type of weld, in
relationship with the type of joint to be used.
– There are five main types of joints
• Butt, Corner, Lap, T, & Edge
• Welds are classified into fillet, plug, spot, seam, or groove
– They are broken down further with each weld having its own symbol.
QUIZ
• The direction of the arrow is not important, it may run up or down.
• When both sides of the joint are to be welded the symbol appears
above and below the line.
• Combining Weld Symbols
– Some joints may require more than one type of weld on a particular joint.
• Size of fillet welds
– The width of a fillet weld is shown to the left of the weld symbol and is
expressed in fractions, decimals, or metric units.

– The length of the weld is shown to the right of the weld symbol. When both
sides are to be welded the same both are shown.

• When a fillet weld with unequal legs is required, the size of the legs is
placed in parentheses.
(1/4x1/2)
• The length & pitch increments of intermittent welds are shown to the
right of the weld symbol. The first figure represents the length of the
weld section and the second figure the pitch (center-to-center spacing)

Size of groove welds
• There are several types of groove welds. Their sizes (effective throat
in fractions, decimals or millimeters) are shown here.
– For a single-groove and symmetrical double-groove welds which extend
completely through the metal being joined, no size is included on the weld
symbol.
– For groove welds which extend only partly through members being joined or on
nonsymmetrical double-groove joints, weld size (effective throat) is shown in
parentheses to the left of the weld symbol.
.38mm
EFFECTIVE THROAT
(.38)
• A dimension not in parentheses when placed to the left of the weld
symbol indicates the depth of the bevel only. When both the effective
throat and bevel depth are indicated, the groove bevel depth is located
to the left of the effective throat size.

• Root opening of groove joints is shown inside the weld symbol. The
included angle of the bevel is placed below or above the weld symbol.

• The size of flare-groove welds is considered as extending only to the
tangent points as indicated by dimensional lines.
• The size of flange welds is shown by the radius and height of the
flange and is separated by a plus mark placed to the left of the weld
symbol.
• The size of plug welds is shown to the left of the weld symbol, the
depth, when less than full, on the inside of the weld symbol, the
center-to-center spacing (pitch) to the right of the weld symbol, and
the included angle of countersink below the symbol.
• Slot welds – length, width, spacing angle of countersink and location
of slot welds are not shown on the symbol. This data is included by
showing a special detail on the print. If the slots are partly filled, the
depth of filling is shown inside.
• Size of spot welds
– Spot welds are dimensioned either by size or strength.
Size is designated as the diameter of the weld.
• Size of seam welds
– Seam welds are dimensioned either by size or strength.
The length of the seam weld is placed to the right of the
weld symbol. The pitch of intermittent seam welds is
shown to the right of the length dimension.
• Weld-all around symbol
– When a weld is to extend completely around a joint, a
small circle is placed where the arrow connects the
reference line.
• Field weld symbol
– Welds to be made in the field are shown by a darkened
triangular flag at the juncture of the reference line and
arrow. The flag always points toward the tail of the
arrow.
• Field welds are welds not to be performed in the shop or at the
place of initial construction.
• Reference Tail
– The tail is included only when some definite welding
specifications, procedure, weld or cutting process needs
to be called out.
• Examples: AC/DC welding, SMAW, & GMAW etc.
• Back or Backing Welds
– Refers to the weld made on the opposite side of the
regular weld. Back welds are occasionally specified to
insure adequate penetration and provide additional
strength to a joint. This particular symbol is included
opposite the weld symbol. No dimensions of back or
backing welds except height of reinforcement is shown
on the weld symbol.
• Melt-thru welds
– When complete joint penetration of the weld through the
material is required in welds made from one side only, a
special melt-thru weld symbol is placed opposite the
regular weld symbol. No dimension of melt-thru, except
height of reinforcement, is shown on the symbol.
• Surfacing welds
– Welds whose surfaces must be built up by a single or
multiple passes welding are provided with a surfacing
weld symbol. The height of the built-up surface is
indicated by a dimension placed to the left of the
surfacing symbol.
Chapter Review
1.
Indicate the meaning of the following symbols.
1.
2.
A = fillet both sides, B= fillet arrow side weld all around, C= fillet other side
What type of weld do these symbols indicate?
2.
A = seam, B = plug, C = fillet, D = v-groove
3.
How would you interpret these symbols?
3.
4.
