CHAPTER 6

SYMBOLS FOR WELDINGAND INSPECTION

PURPOSESTANDARD SYMBOLS ARE used universally to indicate desired welding and brazing information on engineering drawings. They convey the design requirements to the shop in a concise manner. A welding symbol, for exam ple, can be used to specify the type of weld, groove design, weld size, welding process, face and root con tours, sequence of operations, length of weld, and other information. However, there are cases where all infor mation cannot be conveyed by a symbol alone. Supple mentary notes or dimensional details, or both, are sometimes required to provide the shop with complete requirements. The designer must be sure that the requirements are fully presented on the drawing or specifications.

Nondestructive examination requirements for welded or brazed joints can also be called out with symbols. The specific inspection methods 1 to be used are indicated on the symbols. The appropriate inspection methods depend upon the quality requirements with respect to discontinuities in welded or brazed joints.

The complete system of symbols is described in ANSI/ AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination, latest edition, pub lished by the American Welding Society. This publica don should be referred to when actually selecting the appropriate symbols for describing the desired joint and the inspection requirements. In practice, most designers will use only a few of the many available symbols. The

information presented here describes the fundamentals1. Nondestructive testing methods, procedures, and the type of dis continuities that each method will reveal are discussed in: ANSI/ A WS B1.10, Cuide for the Nondestructive Inspection of Welds. Miami, Florida: American Welding Society; latest edition.

of the symbols and how to apply them.

WELDING SYMBOLS

BASIC WELD SYMBOLSTHE TERMS WEW SYMBOL and welding symbof have dif ferent meanings. A weld symbol, Figure 6.1, indicates the required type of weld (or braze). The weldingsym bol, Figure 6.2, includes the weld symbol and supple mentary information. A complete welding symbol consists of the following elements:

(1) Reference line(2) Arrow(3) Basic weld symbol(4) Dimensions and other data(5) Supplementary symbols(6) Finish symbols(7) Tail(8) Specification, process, or other references

Al1 elements need not be used unless required for clarity.

Symbols for Welding and lnspection 195

LOCATION OF ELEMENTS

THE ELEMENTS OF a welding symbol have standard loca tions with respect to each other (see Figure 6.2).

Location Significance of Arrow

THE ARROW ELEMENT in a welding symbol in conjunc tion with the reference line determines the arrow side and other side of a weld, as shown in Figure 6.3(A).

The symbol depícting an arrow side weld is always placed below the reference line, Figure 6.3(B). The arrow side is always closest to the reader when viewedfrom the bottom of the drawing. The weld symbol depicting an other side weld is placed above the refer ence line; i.e., away from the reader, Figure 6,3(C). Welds on both sides of a joint are shown by placing weld symbols on both sides of the reference line, Figure 6.3(D).

F' gure 6.3 (continued)-Significance of Arrow

Some weld symbols have no arrow or other side signif icance. However, supplementary symbols used in con junction with these weld symbols may have such significance. For example, welding symbols for resis tance spot and seam welding have no side significance, Figure 6.3(E), but GTAW, EBW, or other spot and seam welds may have arrow and other side significance.

ReferencesWHEN A SPECIFICATION, process, test, or other reference is needed to clarify a welding symbol, the reference is placed in a tail on the welding symbol, as shown in Fig ure 6.3(F). The letters CJP may be used in the tail of the arrow to indicate that a complete joint penetration groove weld is required, regardless of the type of weld or joint preparation. The tail may be omitted when no specification, process, or other reference is required with a welding symbol.

DimensionsDIMENSIONS OF A weld are shown on the same side of the reference line as the weld symbol. The size of the weld is shown to the left of the weld symbol, and the length of the weld is placed on the right. If a length is not given, the weld symbol applies to that portion of the joint between abrupt changes in the direction of welding or between specified dimension lines. If a weld symbol is shown on each side of the reference line, dimensions are required to be given for each weld even though both welds are identical..

Either US Customary or SI units may be used when specifying dimensions. However, only one of the two should be used for a product or project. Examples of dimensioning for typical fillet welds are shown in Figure 6.4.If a weld in a joint is to be intermittent, the length of

the increments and the pitch (center-to-center spacing) are placed to the right of the weld symbol, as shown inFigure 6.5.

The location on the symbol for specifying groove weldroot opening, groove angle, plug or slot weld filling depth, the number of welds required in a joint, and otherdimensions are shown in Figure 6.2.

SUPPLEMENTARY SYMBOLSFIGURE 6.6 SHOWS supplementary symbols that may be used on a welding symbol. They complement the basic symbols and provide additional requirements or instructions.

differs from the back or backing weld symbol, shown in Figure 6.1, in that the melt-through symbol is filled in.

A WELD THATextends completely around a joint is indi-.cated by the weld-all-around symbol. Figure 6.7(A), (B),and (C) shows examples of its use. The weld can be inmore than one plane, as in Figure 6.7(C).

Field Weld ·SymbolFIELD WELDS ARE made at the erection site, not in the shop or at the place of initial construction. Each of these welds is designated by a field weld symbol {flag) that is always placed above and at a right angle to the reference line at the junction with the arrow (see Figure 6.8).

Melt-Through SymbolTHE MELT-THROUGH SYMBOL is used to show complete joint penetration (CJP) with root reinforcement on the back side of a weld to be made from one side only. The reinforcement is shown by placing the melt-through symbol on the side of the reference line opposite the weld symbol, as shown in Figure 6.9(A). The height of roót reinforcement can be specified to the left of the symbol, as shown in Figure 6.9(B). Control of the root reinforcement height should be consistent with the specified joint design and welding process. The melt-through symbol

Consumable lnsert SymbolTHE CONSUMARLE INSERT symbol (a square) is placed on the side of the reference line opposite the groove weld symbol. The AWS classification and the class and style of the insert are placed in the tail of the welding symbol{see the latest edition of A WS A5.30, Specification for Consumable Inserts). A welding symbol for a typical joint with a consumable insert is shown in Figure 6.10(A).

Backing and Spacer SymbolsA BACKING SYMBOL is placed above or below the refer ence line to indicate that a backing ring, strip, or bar, is to be used in making the weld. It is used in combination with a groove weld symbol to avoid interpretation as a plug or slot weld. A welding symbol for a typical joint with backing is shown in Figure 6.1O(B)'. It is a combina don of a groove weld symbol on one side of the reference line and a backing symbol on the opposite side. The let ter R may be placed within the backing symbol if the backing is to be removed after welding. The backing

type, material, and dimensions should be specified in the tail of the weld symbol, or elsewhere on the drawing, such as in the Bill of Material. ·

A welding symbol for a typical joint with a spacer strip inserted in the root of the joint is shown in Fig ure 6.10(C). It is a modified groove weld symbol having a rectangle within it. The material and dimeñsion of the spacer strip should be specified in the tail of the weld symbol or elsewhere on the drawing, such as in the Bill of Material.

Contour SymbolA CONTOUR SYMBOL is used on a welding symbol to indi cate the shape of the finished weld. Welds that are to be made approximately flat (fillet welds), flush (groove welds), convex, or concave without subsequent finishing are represented by adding the flat, flush, convex, or con cave contour symbol to the weld symbol, as shown in Figure 6.11(A). Welds that are to be finished by mechan ical means are depicted by adding both the appropriate contour symbol and the user's standard finish symbol to the weld symbol, as in Figure 6.11(B).

CONSTRUCTION OF SYMBOLS

BEVEL-, J-, AND flare-bevel-groove, fillet, and corner flange weld symbols are constructed with the perpendic ular leg always to the left. When only one member of a

. TYPES OF JOINTSA JOINT IS the junction of members or the edges of mem bers that are to be joined or have been joined. The five basic joints used in welding and brazing design are butt, corner, lap, edge, and T-joints. These joints are shown in Appendix A, Figure AL

PROCESSESLETTER DESIGNATIONS ARE used in the tail of a welding symbol to indicate the appropriate welding or brazing process. The more frequently used welding process des ignations are listed in Table 6.1. A complete listing of designations for welding, brazing, and allied processes is given in ANSI/AWS A2.4, Standard Symbolsfor Weld ing, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination, latest edition.

EXAMPLESAFTER THE JOINT is designed, a welding symbol can gen erally be used to specify the required welding. Fig ures 6.15 through 6.21 show examples of welded joints and the proper symbols to describe them. When

joint is to be prepared for welding, the arrow is pointed with a definite break toward that member unless the preparation is obvious. The arrow need not be broken if either member may be prepared. These features ·are illus trated in Figure 6.12. Suggested size dimensions for welding symbol elements are given in ANSI/ A WS A2. 4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Non destructive Testing, latest edition.

When a combination of welds is to be specified tomake a joint, the weld symbol for each weld is placed onthe welding symbol. Examples of such symbols are shown in Figure 6.13.

MULTIPLE REFERENCE LINES

Two OR MORE reference lines may be used with a single arrow to indicate a sequence of operations, as shown in Figure 6.14. The first operation is shown on the refer ence line nearest the joint, as in Figure 6.14(A). Subse quent operations are shown sequentially on other reference lines joining the arrow. Reference lines may also be used to show data supplementing the welding symbol or to specify inspection requirements.

the desired weld cannot be adequately described with welding symbols, the joint preparation and welding should be detailed on the drawing. Reference is made to the detail in the tail of the welding symbol.

Groove WeldsFOR A SINGLE-V-GROOVE weld, both members are bev

eled equally to forma groove at the joint. Figure 6.15(A) shows such a weld and the appropriate welding symbol.

If a V-shaped groove is required on both sides of the joint, the weld is a double-V-groove type. The symbol

for a double-V-groove with symmetrical preparation is shown in Figure 6.15(B). The depth of preparation (S) is not shown in the symbol in Figure 6.15(B), and there fore, a joint symmetrical about the plate mid or thick ness is required. If an unsymmetrical V-groove geometry is desired, then the depth of preparation (S) must be specified as shown in Figure 6.14(B).

When a round member is placed on a flat surface and a weld is made lengthwise along one side, the weld is a single-flare-bevel-groove type. The weld and the appro priate symbol are shown in Figure 6.16(A). Iftwo round members are placed side by side and welded together lengthwise, the weld is a single-fiare-V-groove type. The weld and the applicable symbol are shown in Figure 6.16(B). The round shapes may be bent or rolled plates, pipes, or tubes.

Fillet Welds

JOINTS THAT CAN be joined by fillet welds are lap, cor ner, and Tee types.2 Fillet welds are also used in con junction with groove welds as reinforcement in corner and T-joints. Examples of fillet weld symbols are shown in Figure 6.17.

Plug and Slot Welds

PLUG AND SLOT welds are similar in design but are differ ent in shape. In either case, a hole or slot is made in only one member of the joint. These welds are not to be con fused with a fillet weld in a hole. Plug and slot welds require definite depths of filling. An example of a plug weld and the welding symbol is shown in Figure 6.18(A), and of a slot weld and the symbol in Figure 6.18(B). The weld size (diameter at faying surface), angle of countersink, depth of fill, and the center-to center distance of plug welds may be dimensioned on the welding symbol. Only the depth of fill may be dimen sioned on the welding symbol of slot welds. The details of the slot including the orientation and distance between the slots should be in a separate detail and refer enced in the tail of the weld symbol.

Flange Welds

A FLANGE WELD is made on the edges of two or more members that are usually light-gage sheet metal. At least one of the members is required to be flanged by bending

2. A filler weld has an approximate triangular cross section and joins two surfaces at about 90 degrees to each other. When the surfaces are at a greater or lesser angle, the weld should be specified with appropri ate explanatory details and notes.

it approximately 90 degrees. Examples of flange welds and welding symbols are shown in Fig1,1re 6.19(A) and (B).

Spot WeldsA spot weld is made between or upon overlapping

members. Coalescence may start and continue over the faying surfaces, or may proceed from the surface of one member. The weld cross section (plan view) is approxi mately circular. Fusion welding processes that have the capability of melting through one member of a joint and fusing with the second member at the faying surface may be used to make spot welds. Resistance welding equip ment is also used. Examples of are and resistance spot welds are shown in Figure 6.20, together with the proper welding symbols.

Projection WeldsTHE WELD SYMBOL for projection welds is the same as that for spot welds except that it is placed above or below the reference line to specify the member to be embossed. The process is indicated in the tail of the welding symbol. A resistance projection weld with the proper welding symbol is shown in Figure 6.21.

Seam WeldsA SEAM WELD is a continuous weld made between or upon overlapping members. Coalescence may start and occur on the faying surfaces, or may proceed from the surface of one member. The continuous weld may be a

··single weld bead or a series of overlapping spot welds. Seam welds are made with processes and equipment that are similar to those used for spot welding. A means of moving the welding head along the seam must be provided. Examples of are and resistance seam welds and the appropriate welding symbols are shown in Figure 6.22.

Stud WeldsTHE WELD SYMBOL for stud welds is similar to that for spot welds except that the circle contains a cross. The symbol is placed below the reference line and the arrow is pointed to the surface to which the stud is to be welded. The size of the stud is specified to the left of the weld symbol, the pitch is indicated to the right, and the number of stud welds is placed below the sym bol in parentheses. Spacing of stud welds in any con figuration other than a straight line must be dimensioned on the drawing. Figure 6.23 illustrates the use of the stud weld symbol.

EXAMINATION SVMBOLSTHE SYMBOLS FOR the various nondestructive examina don processes are shown in Table 6.3. The elements of a nondestructive examination symbol are as follows:

(1) Reference line(2) Arrow(3) Examination method letter designations(4) Dimensions, areas, and number of examinations(5) Supplementary symbols(6) Tail(7) Specifications or other references

The standard locations of these elements with respect to each other are shown in Figure 6.25.

Table 6.3NDE Method Letter Designations


Significance of Arrow LocationTHE ARROW CONNECTS the reference line to the part to be examined. The side of the part to which the arrow points is the arrow side. The side opposite from the arrow side is the other side.

Arrow· Side ExaminationEXAMINATIONS TO BE made on the arrow side of a joint are indicated on the NDE symbol by placing the basic examination symbol below the reference line; i.e., toward the reader. Figure 6.26(A) illustrates this type of symbol.

Other Side ExaminationEXAMINATIONS TO BE made on the other side of the joint are indicated on the NDE symbol by placing the basic examination symbol above the reference line; i.e., away from the reader. This position is illustrated in Figure 6.26(B).

No Side SignificanceWHEN THE EXAMINATION may be performed from either side or has no arrow or other side significance, the basic examination symbols are centered in the reference line. Figure 6.26(D) shows this arrangement.

Combined SymbolsNONDESTRUCTIVE EXAMINATION SYMBOLS may be combined with welding symbols, as shown in Figure 6.28(A), or with each other if a part is to be examined by two or more methods, as in Figure 6.28(B).

Where an examination method with no arrow orother side significance and another method that has side

significance are tobe used, the NDE symbols may be combined as shown in Figure 6.28(C).

Plane Areas. To indicare a plane area ro be examined on a drawing, the area is enclosed by straight broken lines with a circle at each change of direction. The type of nondestructive examination to be used in the enclosed area is designated with the appropriate symbol, as shown in Figure 6.30(A). The area may be located by coordinare dimensions.

Areas of Revolution. For nondestructive examination ofareas of revolution, the area is indicated by using the examine-all-around symbol and appropriate dimensions. In Figure 6.30(B), the upper right symbol indi cares that the bore of the hub is to be examined by magnetic particle inspection for a distance of three inches from the flange face. The lower symbol indicares an area of revolution is to be examined radiographically. The length of the area is shown by the dimension line.

The symbol shown in Figure 6.30(C) indicares that a pipe or tube is ro be given an interna! proof examinationand an externa} eddy current examination. The entire length is to be examined because no Iimiting dimensionsare shown.
