A tolerance applicable to a weld may be shown as a dimension within the tail of the welding symbol, Figure 10.37.

SUMMARY

1. The terms arrow side, other side, and both sides refer to the location of the weld with relation to the-joint.

2. The elements that can be added to the basic weld symbols are: contour and finish desired; dimensions such as size, strength, length, pitch, angle of groove, angle of counter sink, root opening, and depth of preparation; combinations of different types of weld symbols; number of welds (quantity of resistance - spot and projection welds required); field weld and weld-all-around symbols; specification and process references; and detail references for special welds and test symbols.

3. By application of standard elements to the reference line and tail of the welding symbol, and by use of the arrow or multiple arrows to indicate the location of welds, the necessary information is provided to the welder for performance of required welds.

4. Multiple reference lines may be used to indicate the sequence of operations and supplementary data applicable to the weld symbols shown.

5. When the information shown by the welding symbol is not adequate, it is supplemented by written data, notes, and specifications, and by detail and section drawings.

There are standard abbreviations or letter designations for the various welding processes that are applied to the tail of the welding symbol when it is appropriate to do so.

Graph paper is provided at the end of this review for your use. 1. What is the purpose of a weld symbol? 7. Sketch and label the symbols used to indicate the contour of a weld.
