• What is welding?
• Welding is an efficient method of making
  permanent joints between two or more metal parts.

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.
2. 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 (Fig.)
3. 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
   (Fig.)
4. 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 (Fig.)
5. The arrow of the symbol must point towards the
   joint which required welding (Fig.)

RULES TO BE OBSERVED WHILE APPLYING SYMBOLS

• When only one member is to be edge prepared to
  make the joint , the arrow should point at the
  plate (Fig. ---)
• 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 welding is required to be made on the site
  or during erection or assembly, it is re
• 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.(Fig.----)
• 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.(fig----)
