RULES TO BE OBSERVED WHILE APPLYING SYMBOLS:

1. Symbols for fillet and similar welds be shown such that the vertical position of the symbol are indicated on the left hand side of the symbol, irrespective of the orientation of the weld metal. If the welds are to be made on the arrow side of the joint, the corresponding symbol should be placed either above or below the continuous reference line (Slide 8 Fig.b) If the welds are to be made on the other side of a joint ,the corresponding symbol should be placed above or below the dashed reference line (Slide 8 Fig.c) If the welds are to be made on both sides of the a joint, the corresponding symbols should be placed on both sides of the reference line and the dashed line is not shown (Slide 8 Fig.a) The arrow of the symbol must point towards the joint which required welding (Slide 11)

RULES TO BE OBSERVED WHILE APPLYING SYMBOLS:

6. 7. 8. 9. When only one member is to be edge prepared to make the joint , the arrow should point at the plate (Slide 6 Fig. 4) Dimensions of size are indicated in mm without writing the unit mm. If unequal legs of fillet are to be used ,they should also be given on the left hand side. If a weld is to be made all around a joint , a circle should also be placed at the elbow ,connecting the arrow and the reference line.(Slide 5) If a weld is to have a flush or flat finish , a straight line should be added above the symbol. The welding process is indicated , if required ,at the end of the arrow.
