Depends on what shape you are welding ...all-around.

It is a pontoon bulkhead for a floating roof, verticle weld to
the outer rim plate. Weld symbol shows fillet weld arrow side,
with weld all around. Would that not include the far side?

If it is just a plate t-joint....then yes, welding all around covers both sides of the plate without the need of a double sided symbol.

ie.
If it was a pipe welded to a plate and the welding symbol was a double sided fillet and weld all-around, then you would have place a fillet on the inside and outside wall of the pipe where it meets the plate.(hopefully the pipe is large enough or short enough to get to the inside to perform this weld.

Thanks brother. That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure.

The double sided fillet weld symbol would be welded just up the two sides. The all around symbol means you are also getting the two short welds at the ends. Depending upon exact design and stesses that could add or remove stress risers at the plate ends. It could also be a matter of making sure the pontoon is sealed where it all comes together where as the double sided fillet weld would not accomplish that.

Questions questions questions
Isn't putting the fillet weld symbol on both sides of the weld symbol redundant
when using the "weld all around" symbol? Depends
Doesn't "weld all around" mean to get both sides? Not necessarily.

It depends on the requirement

What is the size of the fillet weld on the otherside of the joint?

Is "Nearside" the companion of the cartoon "Farside" or does it inhabit a parallel universe?

Just last week, I saw this same exact welding symbol for a box tube to an I-Beam column. The only difference was that the tail had a note that read "Three Sides". I put a note in my report asking the detailer to explain his intent. The inside of the tube could not be accessed and the all around symbol along with the note in the tail did not make since.
