Up Topic American Welding Society Services / Technical Standards & Publications / What Finishing/contour symbol is this? Not in A2.4 2012
- - By Bowler_Hat (**) Date 01-25-2016 18:07
Hey All,

Question for ya, I just received an engineering print containing a fillet weld with a "w" put parrelel to the hypotenuse of the fillet weld symbol.

I've attached an image below, the "W" in question is circled in red.


Thank you all!

Very interesting. Another symbol to add to the "Old Farm Code."

The new "Farm Code D1.1:2015" does include some limited information regarding welding symbols without dimensions, but even this one might stump the boys on the D1 committee.

:confused:    Wow! I have no idea where to even start guessing at that one.  :eek:

I believe this is the ISO finish designation for "toes shall be blended smoothly".

Peter makes an interesting possible application from ISO.  With that, how about anything in EN codes?

But, as per John's statement, if we are GUESSING... I would wonder about it needing to be a multi-pass fillet weld to totally cover the size of the bevel groove weld based on one of the previously mentioned associations.

Just my two tin pennies worth.

welderbrent,

You might have a look at 'ISO 2553 - Welded, brazed and soldered joints -- Symbolic representation on drawings' or its European version 'EN ISO 22553' and you may find that 'peterj357' is correct on this one.

It requires that the toes shall be blended smoothly.

As to the best of my knowledge - there's nothing comparable e.g. in ANSI/AWS A2.4-98.

Thank you sir. 

Good to 'see' you.  Don't think I have caught your presence around here lately.

All well?  Off to a good start for the new year?

Thank you, Sir.
All is well and I sincerely hope the same for you.

Hi Electrode,
What does the extra skewed line ahead of the bevel symbol with the reinforcing fillet mean?

thanks for your help....
I'm just not used to seeing these symbols on the drawings over here in the States.

John,

That's a good and definitely justified question.
I'll have to admit to haven't seen that before either.
Maybe it is something similar to, or replacing the tail for supplying additional information?
But like I said; I have no idea - although I tend to agree with Lawrence's approach. Lol.

By all means, good point.

Maybe the OP can shed some light on this.

Now I get it.

That's a fillet, cut from breasts.:razz:

Inspection by Dolly Parton symbol.
This must be included in the errata.

That means add more sh*t onto the weld

According to ISO 2553:1992, it is the symbol for "Surfacing"  the symbol for toes blended smoothly looks like two letter J's back to back.   Edited to add...I might be way off base, but that looks like an inclined single V butt weld with surfacing....:red:

You guys.  That is the eleventh commandment. "Thou shalt not dump on an inclined plane."
